AARP Loses at Least 60,000 Members Due to Support for Obamacare
USA Today/The_lid ^ | 8/18/09 | The Lid

Now we understand why the AARP made the statement last week that it has not endorsed the Obamacare plans. After months of working toward the passage of the bill (which it is still doing, but more "quietly") The AARP,which is run by liberals who favor national health car has been backing away from support for Obamacare. By acting as an advocate of the President's plan AARP has proven itself to be out of touch with its own members. Those seniors have figured out that their own health and lives are at stake in this debate over Obamacare. They know that when medical discretion clashes with limited government budgets, medicine loses, and that's why at least 60,000 members have quit since July 1:

The best way to save money during these trying times is to avoid every film, book, newspaper and entertainment venue except for those which are primarily the efforts of the non-left...if that’s at all possible...slim pickins.

You’ve got the right idea. Years ago, (rules may have changed), if the envelope contained blank paper, foreign objects, torn up applications, etc. the company could return same and get a refund of postage paid as the correspondent was not using the return postage paid envelope for its intended purpose. I get around this by filling out name as “John Doe” and address as “Anywhere, U.S.A.”

Because sending them to their Marxist Motherland is the most fitting thing I can think of.
Give them what they [think] they want.

I bet they sent 60,000 free memberships to these people to keep them from going away.

Best news I’ve had all day.

I caught onto these Leftist jerks long ago. The husband got pulled in and actually joined a number of years ago. After I put him wise, he canceled his membership, but we continued to get their magazine for a long time until I sent them a very nasty letter. For a while, we got mailings, but I let them have it a few times, and they finally stopped.

I haven’t seen the mag for a long time, but when they were sending it to us, it always featured some unltra-left Hollyweirdo on the cover.

I get a mailing from AARP about once a month. The mailing contain a membership card. I have started writing on the back of the card, “Take this card and shove it up your ass.” I then send the card back to them in the postpaid envelope.

You're right: click on them in protest! TYWL gets some money, Google gets some money, and AARP gets the bill. AARP will also put a cookie in your computer and you'll probably be seeing a lot more AARP GoogleAds, but it's a minor inconvenience and for a good cause.

ListenHillary, I like the way you think...
