You gotta remember to put “Mega Barf” alert in there.
They could spend $10 million and buy all the PR in the world, but it will never wash away the stain of AARP telling seniors to sit down and shut up, all caught on video.
I guess AARP is too senile to realize that ALL of The First Thug’s promises have really short expiration dates. I can only pray that AARP members are cancelling their memberships in record numbers.
With the reaction they have already received, it is hard to believe they have not backed away from this losing debate.
For any organizations to support the legislation, they must have the final copy of the bill, right?
So, let us see what’s in the bill!!!
Otherwise, this entire scheme is a scam.
How can they run an ad campaign supporting Obamacare when noone even knows what it is? That is a breach of trust that is unbelievable and I urge everyone to quit AARP.
the AARP needs to be the one euthanized. What a travesty.
We need a public awareness campaign to not join this wayward organization.
Same here. I can't wait for them to start harassing me with mailers so that I can pleasantly tell them to go roast in Hell with that Devil in the White Hut that they sold their collective souls to.
Immigration...healthcare...ALL the same enforcers....
SEIU & AARP....FYI
“AARP does not operate a PAC, but its employees gave candidates, committees and parties $53,200, with Democrats receiving 90 percent of that.”

SEIU & AARP...joined at the hip and helping write amnesty/healthcare legislation.
AARP uses your dollars to fund the likes of:
MALDEF - Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund
AARP says: “”Anybody who looks at immigration has to look at aging,” says Harry R. Moody, director of academic affairs at AARP. “First, immigration affects the age structure of society” by adding younger members to the population, he says. “Second, the people who do hands-on care work are immigrants. Look at our nursing homes! We have an image of people picking tomatoes — that’s not the whole story. Immigrants are the front-line caregivers.”

AARP also contributes to LULAC

Meet AARP’s New CEO: A. Barry Rand
A. Barry Rand, chairman of the Board of Trustees at Howard University and a nationally recognized agent for social change, has been tapped as AARP’s new chief executive officer. He will become the organization’s first African American CEO when he assumes the position in April.
AARP Welcomes Jacob Lozada
AARP Board member Jacob Lozada gives AARP Segunda Juventud readers his perspective on issues facing U.S. Hispanics and how he hopes to boost AARP’s profile in his native Puerto Rico.
AND AARP works hand in hand with the SEIU. They are the ones formulating the legislation that the dems are pushing.
“– AARP, Business Roundtable and SEIU, which together represent more than 50 million Americans, today took another groundbreaking step for their “Divided We Fail” group by jointly delivering endorsed principles for health information technology (IT) legislation to Congress.

I dropped out of AARP ten or so years ago because of its unadulterated support of all things liberal. I urge every AARP member to do the same. Go to www.60plus.org. No, I have no financial interest in any switch - I’m jsut a member.
well -—
the AARP is a scam!
I understand people are dropping out of AARP by the thousands. Doesn’t say much for AARP. They are a political organization anyway.
AARP is double-crossing their members, IMO.
Some one should sue them since the organization was formed to help seniors.
This ain’t help!!!!
They sent me a renewal and I wrote NEVER!! on it and sent it back. Told them they should not be supporting NObama dealth care.
There just has to be someone in AARP who can actually read. They should be READING the bill.
SHAME ON THEM.
Have you read the posts on their site? If not, do so.
Thanks for your post and info! I am going to use it on a blog against AARP which I detest with a Passion!
