Conservative alternative to AARP

[TheTman]

My aunt said to ask for the "best" rate on a room and often that will get you the lowest price. Sometimes they'll add a senior rate discount, most often not.
I have an old AARP card from when I was 50 that I flash sometimes if I they ask if I'm a member, they look at it, say thanks and I don't have to say nothing.
I thought it was cool that a bunch of people with good values and that supported the 2nd admendment got together and are taking on the AARP. I hope they kick their butt! I'm going to check out their medicare plans see if they have a good supplemental.

[wyntrout]

Your aunt is right. I'm usually covered by something... senior or Government... Military is government and my retired card works as a government ID.

I'm not old enough for AARP yet, but I decided that I wouldn't join them after they backed Obama's Health Care plan.

AARP will never get a thin dime from me either after that stunt of stupidly. :31:

AARP has always promoted liberal causes long before Obama arrived on the scene. I've avoided them for years for that very reason.

[Kahrson]

Seriously AARP is and always has been a socialist lib orginization. They are much like the flip side of the NRA

Thanks. My wife and I dropped out of the AARP over a year ago and signed up with some other organization. I'll have to check with my wife to see if it happens to be the one you mention.

Thanks, Tom. We dropped out of AARP years ago when I came across what they really stood for. I didn't know about AMAC until you posted, so you did a good thing for me and others. I have their site bookmarked and are looking into them now.

Not yet, but I'm working on it. I would say that I am a Christian conservative right wing extremist!

Wow, all the above, female, likes guns, and hangs out on a gun forum with a bunch of burping and scratching guy's (well that describes me anyway.)There is hope for our country yet.

Are you using melissa as an alias but really riding around on a bus with the name S_ra Pal_n on the side? Oh no you cant be. Your location says GA and not the other part of the world, AK.

LOL! I'm not a Palin supporter and I don't have to hear or watch ya'll burping and scratching! Kahr Talk is a nice mix of gun talk, politics, and tomfoolery!

Thanks for posting about AMAC, thetmanski! I do have some friends that are interested in looking at their web site.

[TheTman]

Glad to see I stirred up some interest. I was just happy to see an alternative to the AARP, that has values more in line with mine. Hopefully they'll get just as big or bigger than the AARP and offer as many discounts on things and get a good lobby effort going in Washington DC to lobby for conservatives. The only reason I ever joined the AARP was to get the discounts on motels and stuff.

[SkeletonSlinky]

Appreciate the heads up Thetmanski. AARP started their campaign to sign me up a month before I turned 50 this past April...I didn't even bother with it and after reading this thread, I'm glad I didnt. I'll check out the AMAC. Thanks.

[Ol'coot]

I am another one of those Bible thumping, gun toting right wing nut jobs and I Was a member of AARP but called and canceled my membership and gave them a real piece of my mind when they announced support for Obama's Health Care plan.

SHRINKING AARP IS LOSING PLENTY OF SENIORS...AARP'S FALL FROM GRACE.
THE LADY THAT WROTE THIS LETTER, NOT ONLY HAS A GRASP OF ‘THE SITUATION’ BUT AN INCREDIBLE COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!

Her letter was sent to Mr. Rand who is the Executive Director of AARP. It only takes a few days on the Internet and this will have reached 75% of the public in the USA ..
Dear Mr. Rand,

Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. This isn't what you were looking for, but it's is the most honest response I can give you. Our coverage gap is a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith. While we have proudly maintained our membership for years and long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse its abdication of our values. Your letter stated that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours.

Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy which spawned our 200 years of government.

Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic. We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP once gave us a sense of belonging which we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama Regime and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood pressure my medical insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest there! We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding forces that we expected to map out our senior years and leave your ranks with a great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our membership. There are numerous other organizations which offer discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities and values.

This Obama Regime scares the living daylights out of us. Not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage. But more importantly for our children and grandchildren. Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare tactic. I have never endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to them. I don't have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist Mindset in power. Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities.

Your web site generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING??? The illegal perpetrators have broken into our 'house', invaded our home without invitation or consent. The President insists we keep these illegal perpetrators in comfort and learn the perpetrator's language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them. I DON'T choose to welcome them, to support them, to educate them, to medicate them, or to pay for their food or clothing. American home invaders get arrested. Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do not get? Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have to break and enter to be welcomed?

We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there. He meets more people than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current Regime. One of us is out of touch with mainstream America. Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than ones that are driven by a need to yield AMNESTY (aka-make voters out of the foreign lawbreakers so they can vote to continue the governments free handouts). This addition of 10 to 20 million voters who then will vote to continue Socialism will OVERWHELM our votes to control the government's free handouts. It is a "slippery slope" we must not embark on!

As Margaret Thatcher (former Prime Minister of Great Britain) once said "Socialism is GREAT - UNTIL you run out of other people's money".

We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list, and will encourage them to do the same. With several hundred in my address book, I have every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible statement to you. I am disappointed as all get out! I am more scared than I have ever been in my entire life! I am ANGRY! I am MAD as heck, and I'm NOT gonna take it anymore!

wow quite a letter.

Thanks for the alternative to the AARP. I'll check into them. I am constantly bombarded with AARP materials in the mail. I have not joined.

[muggsy]
