The number to call is 1-888-687-2277. Ask for membership.
Tell them how embarrassing they are with the assoications they have. Tell them their fact page is full of errors and they obviously haven’t read the bill and you find it shocking. give them hell!!

Thanks for that info. Storing it for a week day call.

Try tonight, I think they are still answering.

I got a email from AARP saying my U.S.Rep voted against the House bill and I should contact him and chew on his ass. I told these turds that I was proud my Rep. voted against a bill that was not in the best interest of the elderly and they would never get another dime out of me.

Just called - did not go to the live person - but heard that if I was calling about the healthcare reform issue I should go to their website and post comments there!!!

They must have received a ton of complaints already. I hope so.

All they need to do is quite AARP.

Alternative to AARP — Association of Mature American Citizens http://www.amac.us/

Let the stupid pre recorded crap play and wait, then it asks what you are calling for-say membership, then you get a live person.

On the other hand, I could care less what happens to AARP, with luck they and ACORN will all just disappear in a cloud of liberal smoke.

Well; don't think their worried; yet; anyway. As for the 'luck' of them disappearing; it will take more than that; to clear this country of the Lefties tentacles. . .

I will also send back and postage paid envelope to anyone that uses their list, EMPTY

Not empty - stuff it with all your other junk mail (address labels removed of course). It weighs more,thus it costs them more to have delivered to them.

Excellent idea!

Well, folks over 60 have a price on their hides. They are Obama’s “health care savaings”. AARP has really messed up this time...if the eldery can figure out what’s happening to them.

That is a big IF. Hopefully kids are looking out for the ones not paying attention beyond Obama’s cheerleaders in the snooze.

What is going to happen to the younger generation: Grandma is going to be hurting really badly - suffering - and Obama will refuse her care. They are going to have to pool their money to releive her pain. I know my family would have to do that. We could not sit by and let gran suffer unecessarily. She is not useless to us. I know a lot of families are not like ours.

Linkletter is a great American. It’s about time the geezers caught on to AARP. They’ve always been a socialist group. I won’t have anything to do with them, although I thought about joining just so I could be a mole, I don’t have time for it.

You don’t have to cancel your insurance with the Hartford. Just discontinue your membership in AARP. I did two years ago and still have the Hartford. I’m surprised the individual on the phone at the Hartford didn’t tell you this because it is their policy to continue the insurance unless you cancel it. Once cancelled you must join AARP in order to get the Hartford insurance again. But then you can discontinue membership in AARP.

That AARP rep was rude and obnoxious. She needs to be fired, PERIOD. The way she talked to those folks is a disgrace.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks! I’ll check it out....Gotta get my folks OUT of the AARP!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks!
