Anyone considering joining should look back into the history of the organization and it’s founding. It won’t put you to sleep ... it will wake you up!
AARP allows folks to join at something like age 50. I’ve been getting literature from them for nearly a decade.
It will be a cold day in hell, and I’ll be colder than that and six feet under permafrost before I join that group.
If you back the Left in the United States, you won’t see a damned blue blooded cent of mine.
Thirty four? Yikes! That’s a new one.
Thank you for letting us know about this organization. I began to loathe AARP what that stupid staff member or consultant walked out rather than answer questions about AARP’s position on the health care bill. We have nothing to do with AARP.
AARP’s primary health provider is United Healthcare which is now run by SEIU.

Wifey and I just signed up. Good riddance to Uurp.
If that's true, it's probably because they've lowered the age to join down to 50, which is younger than I am, and those folks haven't figured out the scam, yet.
Wrap a brick in brown paper and attach their prepaid envelope to it and mail it back.
I started receiving ‘invites’ from AARP several years ago when I turned 50. I have always torn them up and enclosed a note telling them exactly what I think of their leftist organization. This last time, I sent it back, and demanded that they not contact me again. I haven’t heard from them since!
I didn’t think about that but you can bet from now on that is what I will do. aloha
I just turned 50 and they have been sending me mailings asking me to join. Each mailing includes a postage paid return envelope. I put a tea bag in each envelope when I get it and throw it in the mailbox. I bought tea bags just for this purpose.
Take their postage free envelope, fill it completely full of whatever you want, and drop it in the mail. After doing this a number of times, aarp quit sending me anything.
No thanks.
I get 'em on a weekly basis, and my response is the same...

They are just “partners.”

An advocacy group representing nothing I valued.
My Secure Horizons switched to United and now I carry a card with AARP on it. Not a member, but they got their claws in me now.
There is also a new organization called Generation America, (generationamerica.org) which says "We focus our efforts on protecting and promoting our individual freedoms so that we can continue living active and fulfilling lives...Join us and become part of an over-50 community united in its defense of individual liberty and freedom."
My tagline has been the same for several years (except the age changes...).
