My husband and I have also reached that golden age that we have started getting that AARP stuff in the mail. I have been tearing it up and throwing it away. I never thought of sending it back and wasting their own money to do it. I just cannot wait until next week when we get another round of their junk. I will cut it up and send it back to them. Oh what fun!!!

Oh, yeah. For six months, we saved every piece of junk mail and crammed as much into the AARP envelope that would be crammed. Back it went to AARP. Mind you, this was after begging them for a year that we were NOT interested. Now we receive nothing from the commies.

actually, AARP became the sales agent for the United Health Care Medicare advantage series of policies last year. I have such a policy I bought direct from United. The stuff they send says AARP/United Health Care.

How do you get hold of someone there who speaka da engleeeesh? Humana just dropped SNP coverage on us SNP standing for special needs patient usually due to disability. I tried calling United Health Care twice yesterday and got the same exact so called licensed agent on their toll free number who no speaka da engleeeesh...

Too late AA**-holes. Everyone’s already well aware of what socialist pro-Demoncrat garbage your excuse of an organization is.

AARP must be getting a kickback from Costco from the sale of shredders that can chew up plastic cards.

“Non-partisan my a**. They are Obama kissers from the word go!”

Yup, that they are. Whenever I receive anything from them in the mail, I burn it in the fireplace. Ripping it up is not enough! :)

Is there a way to get off AARP’s mailers?

Just cut all their crap up, put it in the postage paid return envelope, and send it back to the bastards. Fun with mail! :-)

Haha, I take their return envelopws, stuff ti with paper and mail it back with a note about my being a conservative. I joined AMAC, simply because they are a conservative alternative. Not that I need the benefits yet you understand...

So AARP is going to send out a mass mailer informing all seniors and others that they don't support Obama, right? /s

Thanks to just-released emails from the House Energy and Commerce Committee, we now know that AARP worked through 2009-10 as an extension of a Democratic White House, toiling daily to pass a health bill that slashes $716 billion from Medicare, strips seniors of choice, and sets the stage for rationing. We know that despite AARP’s awareness that its seniors overwhelmingly opposed the bill, the “nonpartisan membership organization” chose to serve the president’s agenda.

The 71 pages of emails show an AARP management taking orders from the White House, scripting the president’s talking points, working to keep its board “in line,” and pledging fealty to “the cause.” Seniors deserve to know all this, as AARP seeks to present itself as neutral in this presidential election.

Martin Kozlowski
The emails overall show an AARP leadership—Policy Chief John Rother, Health Policy Director Nora Super, Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond, Senior Vice President David Sloane—that from the start worked to pass ObamaCare, before crucial details pertaining to seniors had been addressed. This crew was in constant contact with Mr. Obama’s top aides, in particular Nancy-Ann DeParle and Jim Messina.

As early as July 2009, Mr. Sloane was sending the administration—”as promised”—his “message points” on Medicare. Ms. DeParle assured him “I think you will hear some of your lines tomorrow” in President Obama’s speech—which he did. Mr. Rother advised the White House on its outreach, discouraging Mr. Obama from addressing seniors since “he may not be the most effective messinger [sic] . . . at least to the McCain constituency.” Better to manage these folks, he counsels, through the “authoritative voices of doctors and nurses.”
