WASHINGTON (AP) - Officials are telling The Associated Press that AARP_the seniors' lobby_will endorse the health care overhaul bill that House Democrats are preparing to take to the floor. Officials with knowledge of the group's decision told The Associate Press on Wednesday that the senior's lobby has decided to give the $1.2 trillion measure its seal of approval. An announcement is expected Thursday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement has not been made. The endorsement, in advance of floor votes as early as this weekend, would be a major boost for President Barack Obama's signature issue.

Every time AARP send me a card, I write on it, “Take this card and shove it up your ass.” I then put the card into their post paid envelope and send it back to them. So far, this has not stopped them from sending me another card every couple of months.

send it back with some lead sinkers or a brick....make em pay for their return mail.....but dont send back anything with your name on it.....

I don’t understand AARP’s interest in this one way or the other.

Making a fortune by being a mandated monopoly with their fecal United Healthcare plans.

AARP was taken over by leftists a long time ago.

It’s inevitable. Going liberal is the universal trend for every organization.

From conservative founding to present day, each of the following institutions have followed the rule of a gradual slide into the pit.

The United Methodist Church,
Harvard,
The Girl Scouts of America,
The Republican party
The United States of America

The AARP would be an anomaly if it hadn’t become dominated by liberals.

I would not buy air from AARP! Let them have their Democrats. They represent themselves and Obama-— not seniors.

You might try calling to see what discount you would get on a hotel room using AARP. We did recently and we could get a $99 room for only $137 since the hotel had to charge that to accommodate AARP. We decided to go with AAA and got the room for $89. Oh yes they really look out for seniors! /s

They’re just out there to destroy Medicare and ensure fewer doctors accept medicare patients.

Actually, I have no clue why they’re supporting this trash. It’s completely nonsensical and antithetical to their stated mission.
