According to CBS News, AARP doesn't care that they have lost 60,000 members since July 1:
"AARP says for a group with 40 million members that adds hundreds of thousands each month, losing 60 thousand is just a drop in the bucket."Now you understand why they were so rude at the Dallas health care forum. Now you can understand why they left the meeting in a huff when their own members began to question them about their support of the Obama/Democrat health care plan.
THEY TAKE THEIR MEMBERS FOR GRANTED!
Because so few know that there is an option outside of the AARP, because most retirement age people assume that the AARP is the only game in town, they don't have to care what their members think...after all, they get "hundreds of thousands" of members each month.
Imagine the arrogance it takes for such an organization to make such a comment. How long do you think a business would keep a CEO that lost them 60,000 customers in one month? How long do you think the stockholders would let someone remain in charge of their business who said "Well 60,000 customers is just a drop in the bucket, we get 100,000 each month?" Imagine the contempt these people have for their own members.
Here's the CBS News story:
Thousands Quit AARP Over Health Reform Tens of Thousands Don't Like the Health Care OverhaulMaybe it's time for us seniors to start spreading the word that there is a better alternative (the ASA); one that is more attentive to the wishes of their members and less a slave of the Democrat Party leadership; one that believes in traditional American values like private enterprise and the idea that Congress works for us rather than the other way around.
CBS) CBS News has learned that up to 60,000 people have cancelled their AARP memberships since July 1, angered over the group's position on health care.
Elaine Guardiani has been with AARP for 14 years, and said, "I'm extremely disappointed in AARP."
Retired nurse Dale Anderson has 12 years with AARP and said, "I don't wanna be connected with AARP."
Many are switching to the American Seniors Association, a group that calls itself the conservative alternative as CBS News Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports.
And that is the truth about the AARP...they exist to promote the Democrat Party agenda. They have been slavishly cleaving to the Democrat Leadership for decades, doing their bidding and persuading senior citizens that they were working for them.
Time to destroy the lie. Time for those of us who know to spread the word about the AARP alternative, the American Seniors Association.
Don't let the Obama/Democrat Leadership/AARP cabal run you over or fool you with their lies. Make your voices and your dollars heard. Leave the AARP and join the ASA...there is no stronger statement than that.
There is a better plan for health care reform. The Republicans have it. It is called the Coburn/Ryan Patient's Choice Act. READ IT.
Instead of a plan that will do nothing about the rising cost of health care, why not:
Don't let Congress and the President scare you into a hastily drawn up, poorly written, 1000+ page health care debacle...there is no need to rush. When 80% of Americans are satisfied with their current plan, why screw it all up just to cover the other 20%? Wouldn't it be better just to fix that 20% and leave the rest of us alone?
We need better health care, not faster healthcare.
Long Live Our American Republic!!!!
Many gullible geezers would stand in line to be exterminated.
They are just that easily led, so AARP knows they have absolutely nothing to fear from their customers as long as they offer them a good rate on insurance.
They will care when they file for bankruptcy.
Hard to believe they have 40 million members
Why should they care? The antigun organization has forty million members.
Contrast to the NRA which has only four million members out of eighty million gun owners.
The fact is the dem party is winning and we are losing.
It makes me wish I had joined so I could cancel my membership!
Indifference toward customers is the biggest reason businesses loose customers and ultimately fail.
Dollars to Donuts
A A R P is gonna
Get management fees.
Congress will pay them
To “facilitate” health care
For their membership.
Paying the Piper,
The Government calls the tune.
Screw the Membership!
Old folks send checks,
But the government money
Shows up in a truck!
The fact is the dem party is winning and we are losing.

They send stuff to my house and I throw it away without even opening it.
You should send any post-paid envelopes back to them, at the very least.
CBS is just saying that because they want us to believe they don't care that no one watches them anymore. Well all you liberal hate groups - don't count on my support...
So they are so big they don’t have to care about their own customers! Isn’t that exactly why they exist? That takes the cake. They are obviously too big and need to be pared down.

That's what I do. I also tear their propaganda in half and enclose it to increase the weight, after carefully removing my name/address.
AARP is nothing more than an arm of the DemonRat party. I always knew that and never ever considered joining. I always thought that fact was common knowledge, but apparently not, as some are waking up to what the organization is really all about now.

Was "Troll" your sign off?
Because surely you don't mean
To call me a troll...
