I have always hated the AARP, and always considered anybody who would pay dues a greedy, ignorant, fool. I’ve been throwing their mail in the trash since they started sending it to me. Unfortunately, I know a lot of old fools who think they’re getting some valuable “discounts” from these leftist crooks.

Non-profits are allowed to do all of the ISSUE advertising and advocacy they desire, without limit.
It's only when the advocate for a particular candidate or party that they are constrained.
Same with private enterprise. Same with Unions.
When you put them all together, we'll see AT LEAST $500mil spent against us this fall.

I resigned from AARP yesterday.
Does anyone know of another organization that my be less liberal/socialist that I can join?
It felt so good to tell the lady that I was resigning due to the liberal stances on health care and other issues. She stated that AARP has not taken a position on health care.
To: Libloather
But but the AARP spokesperson down in Tampa swore that the AARP doesn’t endorse any legislation. (they just get as close as they can get without actually saying “we endorse Obama’s deathcare”)

I have always thought of the AARP as being just another tentacle of the DNC. Their junk mail always ends up in the trash at the Post Office.

and notes the growing opposition within the membership. I don't see any evidence of significant "growing opposition."
Yes, I have looked for it and am seeking effective means to send a message. For starters, I assume trying to get a refund on remaining membership would be an exercise in futily (Libs are experts at stonewalling until it no longer matters.)
I am aware that AARP takes kickbacks from their "endorsed" insurers, so I will never go there.
However, their bulletin is very useful to keep updated on bills before Congress, tax issues and other subjects of interest to senior citizens, specially those on a fixed modest income. As far as I know, there is no non-liberal similar source.

A non-profit jeopardizes its tax free status if it engages in “advocacy” for any pending legislation, or for/against any particular candidate or political party.
They are more Obama connected TAX CHEATS.

It is only illegal for a non-profit to support conservative causes.

From here.
A provision in President Obama's health care reform bill encourages "end-of- life" counseling for seniors ...
The provision, tucked deep within the House bill, would provide Medicare coverage for an end-of-life consultation every five years, and more frequent sessions ...
Health providers would be required to explain to seniors the end-of-life services available
"This provision may start us down a treacherous path toward government-encouraged euthanasia if enacted into law," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Mich. said in a statement last month.
The AARP would happily see its membership turned into Soylent Green or the use earth grading machines to push old people into lime pits to adhere to its LEFTIST agenda. The "executive" of the AARP thinks its exempt.

This morning, I went through two years of a stack of unread AARP magazines that I had. I pulled all the mailers out and sent them with little messages on them......91 of them in all.
I challenge all others to do the same.

The AARP does not represent the best interests of senior citizens. It is nothing more than a propaganda outlet for the DNC

AARP is simply a marketing entity.
Obama's programs makes it easier for AARP to raise/make more money.
