AARP was on board with obama nuff sed, I throw thier sh## in the garbage when I get it
I take the “membership” cards they send us and put them in the outgoing kitty litter.
I put them through my shredder
AARP is an insurance broker. I return their prepaid envelopes to them ... empty.
I have commend the AARP for this. Any organization that can publicly oppose more than 90% of its members and still be in business has obviously raised their con game to an art form.
Same here. I get their junk all the time.
I must get a round of AARP promo stuff every 2 weeks. As bad as credit card applications.
save for later read
I’ll be 65 in the not to distant future. Anyone familiar with AMAC?
I doubt anything said by the opponents of the fiduciary rule. Far too many of the "advisers" against it were scummy insurace salesmen who claimed their high cost, low return, nearly impossible to move insurance contracts were the best thing for your retirement. I don't know the details about the Obama fiduciary rule, but I would never accept advice from a financial adviser who was not legally and contractually bound to act in my best interests and not his own.

I mail the postage “free” envelopes back empty so they have to pay for it. I stopped getting them after wwhile!
It’s part of many American’s mindlessness. Simply put, it is the “American Association of Retired Persons”, and therefore anyone retired or thinking of such just joins.
Just like many people I’ve known where they were raised as democrats just vote that way regardless of party platform, who is running or their records.
I can’t explain it, maybe it’s a form of herd mentality.
This will account for a great percentage of Biden’s votes.
“I return their prepaid envelopes to them ... empty.”
Find a way to increase the weight. It costs them more that way.

Good post. Renowned financial advisor Ric Edelman has long said that he didn’t have any concerns about the fiduciary rule because he had already operated as if he had a fiduciary duty to his clients.
I use to send the envelope back. I haven't seen a membership offer from them for quite a while now. After sending me stuff for a decade, they must have figured out I wasn't going to join..
Just put as much junk mail laying around, in their return envelopes. The intent is for them to get tired enough of unnecessary expenses that they will cease their nefarious activities.
Mike Gallagher (a great talk radio host) has a commercial for AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens; he says it’s a conservative alternative to the leftist AARP. It was apparently formed after a large percentage of seniors urged the AARP to reject Obamacare, but the organization supported it anyway.
I have to check it out. It sounds interesting; I don’t know if it’s a non-profit group or what.
It has been enormously successful at both.
They are one of the most successful cons ever pulled off.
I just bought my medigap insurance through AMAC ... great experience overall ...
