The AARP has been a left leaning org. for a long time...

Glad the members are waking up, and seeing the forest through the trees, and taking our gov't back is worth more than a rental car and hotel discount....

This is great to see,,, go get em', don't stop,...

Good for the wake up call...

Great video to watch and the comments I read were great as well.

We need more meetings like this.  However, someone needs to stay and listen instead of running out like a spoiled brat!

Does this remind anyone else of the evening when the Pres. chewed out the press for asking him questions?  How dare anyone disagree with ________ (Obama, Pelosi, AARP, ... Insert elitest select here)?

I joined AARP when I turned fifty.  The membership was $12.00 for the year.  For that 12 bucks I got about 200 bucks worth of worthless paper.  I have no idea how that group stays in business.  That was the first AND last money they will ever get out of me.

I buy some of the NRA term life insurance for about 90 bucks a year for 50 grand of coverage which includes coverage for my guns if they're lost or stolen.  The same amount of insurance through AARP is about 30 bucks a month...

They invite people to a "Listening session to hear their opinions", then "cancel the meeting because interuptions from the audience"... 

We want to hear how great we are from you.  Well, if your not going to say anything nice, we wont let you say anything at all!

Nice.  ::)

To hell with the AARP.  They are a bunch of known lefties from way back...I remember wondering how in the hell people would belong to something like that from way back....I sure won't.

My wife "came of age," we were planning a trip, and we received an offer from AARP, all at the same time (within days).  We both did some checking and found that we could save over $250 (after considering the cost of membership) on the vacation over all other offers and memberships we had already.  We paid the $20 or $25 bucks, took the trip, and studied AARP.  It took me very little time to say thanks but no thanks, and the only contact with them since was when I reached that magic age.  They received a rather stern letter explaining our differences, and I have never received a mailing since ... I'm shocked, but I'm off their lists  ;D

I also joined AARP when I turned 50 last year. I didn't know any better. I did a 2 year deal. Now that I'm informed, I sent them a letter explaining that I was cancelling my membership. Can't wait for the response.
