Look at these well dressed MONSTERS! My goodness how they are just so violent and aggressive! i see how Nancy Pelosi thinks these Nazi’s are out to hurt people!
And I see Barbara Boxers point on how these Radicals are only interested in hurting DEAR LEADER!
This GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!
Hope and Change to throw our elderly under the bus! (verp)

I love these American Patriots!

What if the pushy mob is right on this one?
Mobs may take on a life all their own, but normally need a reason to get worked up. This may be a time like the French revolution when things could not be tolerated any longer.

If the AARP isn’t going to support their folks, time to cancel your membership.

America…AARP is in big trouble in America and do not even know it!

They have endorsed a plan that the majority of Americans, and many of them Seniors, do not want!

If they don’t change their endorsement, America will need to change their membership in AARP to “cancelled”!

The people in power in this nation have no idea how angry Americans are at what is taking place in our nation’s capital!

Why not, America?

I know it…I feel it…I read it in every comment on many, many sites!

You know why they don’t know it, America? Because they have tuned out their constituents…they have put a deaf ear to our calls, our emails, our letters and now our voices as we attend Town Hall Meetings!

They want to come out in middle America and dictate to us why they are voting for this “overhaul” of existing healthcare system to justify their vote.

But that is not what a Town Hall Meeting is to be…they are to come home and hear their “constituents” and what they want!

They should come home to “listen” to us…we have already heard what they have to say…we have read it in the paper…we have viewed it on the TV…we have read it in their newsletters…we have read it on their web pages…when have they done the same for us?

The Town Hall meetings are where it is to be…where they listen to “us” and why we do not want an overhaul of the best healthcare in the world.

America…keep it up! Keep speaking up and speaking out…if your voices get loud at a Town Hall…it is just that they can’t hear in a normal voice your concerns!

Make note of who they are, make note of what they say and how they treat you…then when 2010 comes around…kick them to the curb…we don’t need representatives who don’t represent!

=================================

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED

DON’T TREAD ON US…WE PAY YOUR BILLS…IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOME!

when is the mob going to learn that they are here to give aarp the money and be happy getting screwed by aarp and obamadeathcare

Those vicious thugs!!!

Oh well, I’m sure the Union volunteers will help keep the peace.

My wife and I were about to sign up for AARP. Not now! Thanks for your mindless support of a system that will eventually kill us off through denial-of-service. I can get that now, with my crappy insurance company, without your assistance.

Outstanding people. stand up for our rights. I am proud that these people stood up to these Libs who are trying to sell us a bill a goods that is going to fail.

AARP has pretty corrupted from it’s beginning. Cancel your membership and save your dollars!!! AARP is interesting in only doing the preaching and not the listening!!

AARP has been corrupted from it’s beginning. Cancel your membership and save your dollars!!! AARP is interesting in only doing the preaching and not the listening!!

The A.A.R.P. blames their members for walking out of the meeting? She was just working for the President and not for the membership of A.A.R.P.. It’s time to take our country back from those who think they know much better than their voters do. Throw the bums out of office who will not work or listen to their voters. Darrell :)

This is what makes America great, and for all those liberals that don’t like everyday citizens voicing their opinion, I’m sure you’ll be much more at home in China or Cuba where the government’s opinion is the only opinion.

Dr. 0bama’s care = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbJTBBoDFH0

People are tired and want to talk to their officials. Officials are not used of listening to the people they serve. Direct collision course.

Swastikas? Someone needs to get Pelosi some serious mental health counseling.

Cancelled my memebership after the second GWB election. It was apparent during that election that they were using my money to support policies/candidates that I found onerous and when the took on Glover as a spokesman – that was the final straw. Cut up my card and mailed it back to them.

I have a renewal coupon sitting on my table, but
after seeing this with the members walking out, I
don’t believe I’m going to reup, I think I will opt
to send money for lifetime membership to NRA instead,
cause obviously aarp is not for us.

my membership wiil not get renewed!

AARP has been the single biggest advocate of a “single-payer” Canadian style health care system for the last 30 years at least. They were behind the failed Clinton attempt at socialized medicine. AARP wants total socialism in the health care economy. Is it any wonder they don’t want opposition to the Obama health care take over? AARP stands for one thing – more benefits for Senior Citizens paid for by younger working people. They want a single-payer system so that all health care expenses including the fabulously expensive long-term care for nursing home seniors is covered by the Federal Government. That way, their 20 million plus members can push Congress to enact any new and expensive benefit they want – and the future generations can pay for it! More freedom loving activists need to get into the AARP reps. face! It’s time to say NO! to one of the worst socialist lobbies!

Is there an alternative to the AARP? I want to cancel my membership, the contempt that those representatives had for the membership is sickening.

AARP has jumped the shark like the unions and MADD! Corruption is rampant in this country. It’s sickening.

Even though I’m not 50 yet, I made it a point to let the AARP know that policies like this will keep me from joining their ranks. The actions taken by their representatives were certainly not inclusive, and it was clear they were being driven by some political standards they looked to set.

LOVE IT

AARP “claims” they are bipartisan but in reality they are a noted liberal organization that seeks to push more government control into the lives of American citizens and, as you can guess, they highly favor Barack Obama’s health care reform initiative. >> They can sure dish out their own agenda to their own members but as you can see in the video they sure can’t take a little “reality check” questioning from the members themselves can they? ;) Typical liberal mind set I might add. “Don’t listen” to the very people they are suppose to represent. ;)

Quit the AARP now I did. They are self serving idiots.

Astroturf. How dare Americans standup for their 1st amendment rights. Obama knows what’s best for you. Obama will pay my and your mortgage, Obama will buy you a new car. Obama will make the US look like Cuba, just like Castro did.

She (the speaker) was obviously antagonistic – and she was prepared to say what she did – as will congressman at their town hall meetings this month.

I have already cancelled my membership, and so have many of my friends and relatives. This organization is not standing up for the “retired people”. They are here to take your money and give to special interests.

If everyone cancels their membership, auto insurance, life insurance, etc.,etc.,etc. AARP would be unable to survive.

:reported: to flag@whitehouse.gov

Hey AARP, Pelosi, Reid and 0bama,

Take YOUR “healthcare reform” bill and SH0VE IT WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE!

The more people see for themselves what the AARP “leaders” really are – a non-profit special interest group specializing in selling health insurance at a profit – the sooner the AARP front will crumble.

This group does NOTHING for older people. Just look at the way the female AARP staff speaker was talking down to the audience, dictating the agenda as usual, and reacting childishly when the older people refused to listen to AARP propaganda.

Cancel your AARP membership – that’s one way your voice will be heard.

I wonder if the “Lady” running the meeting for AARP is
even eligible for membership in AARP……

Just like the people in Congress and Government that
are trying to push through HealthCare Reform……

It has to affect them to get the proper service and
consideration……

If you’re not invested in it why would you care how
“crappy” it is.

I dropped them already

Is that her butt or is she towing a travel trailer?

AARP is pretty much a left-wing group. The sad thing is that so many deluded people know nothing about current events and political issues and think AARP actually represents the interests of senior citizens.

Figure it out for yourself. 40 million retired Americans sending AARP 10 dollars each. Thats $400 Million. Read their annual report to see what they do with your money. Family owned insurance business.

AARP has its own agenda and uses the elderly for their own ends. Now that the Baby Boomer’s are entering the ranks of retirees things need to be stirred up. Hopefully the lessons of Vietnam and the ‘68 Democratic Convention haven’t been forgotten.

I have been receiving AARP Membership literature for years, but have never sent them a penny. I would council everyone to drop their membership. They never poll their members, they just tell them what they should think without asking.

Considering that the membership of AARP are the highest users of medical care and facilities, you would NORMALLY think they would be the most concerned but this obvious proposal rationing…. but noooooooooo! They don’t give a flying flip.

Just another libtard arm of this socialist government takeover. You folks who are senior citizens have been warned for years and years about this group and the Democrat party – but you pull that lever like Pavlov’s dogs. CAN YA hear me now?

The threats they made for years that your social security would be taken away – did that happen? did you get the cost of living increases? did you keep pulling that just to be sure? and now your health care is REALLY gonna be taken away – boy, you sure out smarted everyone didn’t you?

I work for a consumer market research firm and AARP recently commissioned a public opinion poll with us. One of the questions on the poll was “Have you ever been denied treatment or services by your insurance company?”

I NEVER, and I mean NEVER got one respondent that said yes. Nobody that I spoke with had EVER been denied treatment by their insurer. AARP KNOWS this information and here they have their “volunteers” telling these people the exact opposite.

Ya gotta wonder, folks. . .what’s the agenda here? Why the lies? Why the collusion? It’s time for Americans to keep up this pressure and REFUSE to have this crap forced upon us.

I noticed that one of the guys who spoke from the audience, at timestamp 4:10, had a shirt with the word “Shrug” on it and an picture of Atlas holding up the world. Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” is what we’re living through!

I am 61 – and I want to be on record stating this:
Government:
STAY OUT OF MY MEDICAL RECORDS
STAY OUT OF MY BANK ACCOUNTS
STAY OUT OF MY PERSONAL BUSINESS
STAY OUT OF MY IRS RECORDS
STAY AWAY FROM MY HOME (ACORN)

AND:

DO NOT TAX ME ON ‘YOUR’ HEALTH CARE – IF I NEED IT, I’LL PAY FOR IT! YOU WON’T FORCE ME!
DO NOT ‘ORDER’ ME TO HAVE HEALTH CARE I DON’T WANT OR NEED
DO NOT SEND ACORN TO MY HOME TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO FORCE ON ME
DO NOT TOUCH MY PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNTS
DO NOT TAX ME ON ANYTHING BUT INCOME TAX
DO NOT DECIDE HOW I LIVE OR HOW I DIE
DO NOT STOP ME FROM GETTING HEALTH RELATED SERVICES JUST BECAUSE ‘YOU’ THINK I’M OLD!
DO NOT TAMPER WITH MY IRS ACCOUNT
DO NOT THINK THAT YOU ARE IN CONTROL OVER ME – I AM A FREE AMERICAN CITIZEN – NOT YOUR EXPERIMENT!

I just cancelled my AARP membership. They are a joke and I am not laughing.

Obama is what you get when you allow illegals, idiots and welfare recipients the right to vote!

Lady Liberty is finally, once again, waking up.

I told the AARP to stick it when they first started sending me mail when I turned 50. That was 7 years ago. Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the AARP receive tax dollars to lobby for itself? There’s no way that’s right. Blondie at the beginning of the vid bailed way too early, and she treated the audience like children. What was she maybe 40? Coward.

I’m canceled. AARP is in the pockets of the liberal fascists / Obama / Democrats! AARP sent me a mailer last week. They’re NOT getting any more of my hard-earned greenbacks. EVER! Rush is right on this one.

AARP is a business, and they take care of their own guys first. The members are nothing but numbers to them. AARP doing the bidding of the administration, and Nancy Pelosi, and they will be rewarded. More power, more money for their pockets. Smart seniors, don’t fall for their tricks. Cancel your membership and protect your own interests. The money for this government health plan is coming out of Medicare. Services will be reduced, and you’ll know it when you have to wait months for routine procedures, when Docs and medical personnel opt out of the program, and when procedures are refused for you. Look at Canada. Even younger folks have to wait months for routine procedures. WAKE UP!

AARP is a disgrace. They take their member’s dues and then SPEND THAT MONEY on lobbying in support of legislation that will essentially DESTROY seniors’ healthcare. . . . and the dumb biatch at the podium is confused that their members are angry???? This is the current state of America; if you are not supportive of the Iron-Fisted State, then you don’t deserve to even be heard!

AARP is essentially now an arm of the state. I would advise ALL seniors to STOP PAYING DUES TO THESE CRIMINALS!!!! THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU!!! THEY ARE STEALING YOUR MONEY AND THEN HURTING YOU WITH IT!!!!

Send AARP emails today and complain. The address of communications directors on the website.
Write comments on their site to their articles pushing the Democratic talking points. make a stand and they will
think twice about it.

Re:MikeCampbelly2K. Spot on. Best summary of the mission of the AARP ever. If they ever need someone to write a true mission statement you are the man. Good observations

Here’s a message for you Eileen. The majority of us want a health insurance alternative with at least a public option. Obama was elected to shake things up in the healthcare market. The insurance companies have been hosing us for years. Don’t want government healthcare, fine, opt out of Medicare.
Aren’t using Medicare, fine then encourage all your relatives and friends who are on Medicare or Medicaid to opt out. If you’re on Medicare or Medicaid and are protesting about public funded healthcare, you’re a hypocrite!

We cancelled AARP Aug 5 because of their HealthScare endorsement. Member over 30 years.

Interesting to see how the AARP Nazi cow responded when the membership did not agree with her comments. I’m embarrassed to be an AARP member. They clearly don’t work for the membership but for their own agenda.

AARP members canceling memberships.

While the NRA is gaining by leaps and bounds.

hmmmmm

Hey, Chris E August 6th, 2009 – 3:51 pm.
Are you one of Obama’s brown shirts?

Makes me glad I cancelled my membership last year.

the AARP representative wants to say they are objective and not in favor of the bill – Their facebook pages says different – http://www.facebook.com/s.php?init=q&q=aarp&ref=ts#/AARP?ref=search

I have repeatedly snubbed AARP, and talked my parents (78 and 87) into cancelling their membership years ago. AARP is a front organization for the “progressives” and any money you send their way will be used to take away more of your freedoms in the name of safety, health care, social “security” and other “benefits”. It’s a high price to pay for a little money off on car rentals and hotel room rates.

AARP, unions, and other similar organizations should be promoting/pushing the desires of the membership and NOTHING MORE. Any time an organization needs to “sell” an idea to their membership, then they are doing it WRONG.

Before an organization (as a single enitity) takes a poistion on any issue, they need to poll the members. If the members vote overwhelmingly in one direction or the other then that is the position of the group. If the members are divided, then the organization shouldn’t take a position.

AARP formerly stood for American Association of Retired Persons, but they had to drop that name when the limited number of retired members was not sufficient to feed their greed. AARP now sends out their junk mail to 50 year olds. AARP derives more money from selling supplemental health insurance policies than they get from member dues. AARP is one of those huge greedy corporations that appears ready to cash in on Obama’s plan.

Here is a quote from Andrea Mitchell–MSNBC—-”These people (you and me) don’t know what is best for them.” How arrogant of her and the other Obama butt kissers at MSNBC and CNN. BTW, I cancelled my AARP membership years ago. They are a left wing money grubbing bunch of dirt bags.

fantastic vid. Keep showing this to EVERYONE. The people ARE getting the message.

Never give up.

God Bless America

There is an alternative organization to AARP. It is the ASA.

One more thing…

The opinions of the organization’s leadership is IRRELEVANT.

A nother
A CORN
R epeating
P ropaganda

wow! the swastikas are everywhere!

And that’s another thing…where does this “child” AARP speaker get off lecturing and scolding a room full of folks that made this country? This little wet-behind-the-ears twerp has some nerve! Arrogance! Of course, look at her role model, Obama, the very definition of arrogance walking. What an empty skirt, automatic mouthpiece. I wouldn’t trust her to tell the right time of day. Go back to your Saul Alinsky book, little girl, but don’t try to pull the wool over us in this generation! We INVENTED rebellion, protest, chaos, marching, and talking back loudly. And, we aren’t taking any of it from you!

Wow! Look at just all the “Brown Shirts” and “Swastikas” and “Well Dressed” thugs in this, and all other Town Hall videos now posting on the net. Clearly, these “mean spirited’ people are just out to “Harm OUR PRESIDENT”. not. Stand tall America, its time to reassert our spirit, our freedom, and our liberty. Fight the tyrant Obama and his sycophants and we can give America back to our children.
It may be too late for us.

WHO THE HE11 IS THAT FAT-A$$ED BI+CH WHO KEEPS CANCELLING THE MEETING AND UPLUGGING THINGS??? WHY IS AARP PROMOTING THIS CRAP? AARP-MEMBERS SHOULD BE RAISING HE11 AND CANCELLING THEIR MEMBERSHIPS!

AND YOU DAMNED POLITICIANS AND SPECIAL-INTERESTS HAD BETTER DEVELOP A LITTLE PATIENCE AND FOREBEARANCE (NOT TO MENTION *HONESTY*), BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE *FED UP* AND PISSED OFF AND THEY ARE *GOING* TO BE VENTILATING & HOLDING YOUR FEET TO THE FIRE! GET USED TO IT!

Bige for single Payer August 6th, 2009 – 4:00 pm HERE’S A MESSAGE FOR YOU!!!

OBAMA LIED, PATIENTS DIED.

AARP has been after me for fifteen years to join. I will not join because the organization is a mouthpiece for the leftists in Washington DC. When AARP starts demanding that our Federal government stop tormenting American citizens, I may consider membership. I would recommend that no one renew their membership until they start acting like American patriots and demanding that creeping socialism stop.

All you naysayers, please get off the medicare plan – and please commit here and now that you do not want to be covered by any type of new Obama led healthcare. If you promise you will pay out of your pocket for the great health care you are receiving privately, then I think the rest of us will be fine and be able to make the numbers work on the public plan.

If you have a great private plan, please publish the results here so I can get my $1850 MONTHLY prescriptions covered when I turn 65 in February. The Medicare drug plan doesn’t cover – REJECTS- my medications for Rheumatoid Arthritis. So since you people have the answers, then speak up. I’m listening.

These AARP folks make me sick – and also rather pleased that I never took them up on there “oh here you need our help to be your intercessor, old guy” offers, including the “free” automatic membership card.

To hell with you AARP – you are a political front.

AARP reps are just like our government – they’ve forgotten who they represent. Cancel your AARP membership and tell everyone who might have a membership to cancel theirs too.

KUDOS to the seniors who attended the meeting. AARP – you should be ashamed of yourself!

Did you notice all the swastikas at this meeting?

Nancy Pelosi did, and she will be sure to keep us well informed.

AARP has been nothing more than a wing of the liberal, (read socialist), arm of the Democrat party for decades. You can bet that a deal has been made between the Dims and AARP,with big dollars for them, to get them to travel trying to sell this program. That fat bottomed cow running that meeting should be ashamed of her conduct. Who does she think she is? Its time we took this country back, it’s been too long in the hands of the media both print and TV. Educate your friends who don’t have computers and won’t see this vid. Tell everybody you know whats going on. And, for God’s sake, vote these commies out of office. Not just Obama but every liberal in Washington. Pelosi, Boxer, Reid, Waxman, Frank, Kerry the whole lot of them.

The AARP spokespeople claiming that they never endorsed any health care plan is a flat-out lie! My father received a letter in the mail for him to sign his support for Obamacare months ago.

He told them where to put it and gave very specific directions, too, if you catch my drift.

Please contact as many people as possible to pull out or cancel AARP memberships. I have cancelled mine, my wife’s, and my Mother’s membership….. Get the word out that AARP is about a liberal agenda, supporting marxism and making money, not the concerns of the Elderly as they would represent.

It only took me 6 months into my first year’s membership to realize AARP was not the right organization for me. I have already let the membership laps and I do not intent to pick it back up.

I saw an AARP representative interviewed on Fox. All he could keep repeating was that AARP would never support a single payer system. He ignored the clip (uncut) of Obama saying that eventually we would get to a single payer system with his plan.

I will never join AARP because of all of the $ that AARP gives to the Democratic party ,even though I could really use some of the cash breaks their little card could give me.

In all these town hall meetings no one stands up and demonstrates any critical thinking whatsoever. It is a vocal morass of platitudes, emotions, and generalities that don’t bring solutions. The Republican opposition to Social Security was just as intense but there was no internet back then. They were delighted of course to get Wall Street involved in managing your social security funds. Let’s see some of the folks drop their monthly check for the good of the country. Don’t believe anything you hear and only believe half of what you see.

1935: 99 percent of Republicans in House and 63 percent in Senate try to kill Social Security by voting to send the bill back to committee.

1939: 75 percent of Republicans in Senate try to kill legislation providing Social Security benefits to dependents and survivors as well as retired workers.

1950: 79 percent of House and 89 percent vote against disability insurance to defeat it.

1956: 86 percent of Republicans in Senate oppose disability insurance; program approved nonetheless

1964: Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan both suggest that Social Security be made voluntary.

1965: 93 percent of Republicans in House and 62 percent in Senate vote to kill Medicare

1977: 58 percent of Senate vote against amendment to provide semiannual increases

1977: 88 percent of Republicans in House and 63 percent in Senate vote against increase in Social Security payroll tax needed to keep system solvent

1981: White House proposes $35 billion in Social Security cuts over the next 5 years. The cuts include the elimination of student benefits, lump-sum death benefits,and a retroactive elimination of the $122 minimum benefit for three million recipients. (Congress ultimately enacted $24 billion of the proposed

cuts.)

1981: Administration begins a wholesale review of the Social Security Disability rolls, resulting in over 560,000 eligibility investigations in 1982- 360,000 more than the year before. Ultimately, at least 106,000 families were removed from the rol1s

1981: 99 percent of Republicans in House and 98 percent in Senate vote for legislation containing $22 billion in Social Security and Medicare cuts

1981: Administration proposes three-­month delay in 1982 cost-of-1iving increases

1981: White House proposes $200 billion in Social Security cuts between 1982 and 1990. The cuts include: reduction in early retirement benefit; tightened disability eligibility standards; delay in the 1982 cost-of-living adjustment and a 10 percent eventual reduction in benefits for all new retirees. (The

U.S. Senate repudiated the President’s proposals by a vote of 96 to 0.)

1982: The President and Senate Republicans propose $40 billion in benefit cuts over three fiscal years

1985: Administration backs attempts by Republican Senate leadership to eliminate the 1986 Social Security COLA. Vice President Bush casts the tie-breaking vote to eliminate COLA. (House defeats it – never enacted).

1990’s: Efforts to end Social Security took the form of appealing to younger workers to put “their” Social Security insurance payments into the stock market.

Watching this video and the others like it is giving me so much hope. Finally the silent majority is getting fed up enough to stand up and say “No More!”. The backbone of this country. The ones who make it all work. I often just feel so hopeless as I watch these politicians (of any party) push our great country further down the hole. We really are on the brink now. God bless all of you who are standing up and being heard.

That one gentleman in the video is absolutely right: this is about so much more than healthcare. This is about our freedom, our liberty. And if they get this bill in we are DOOMED. Have you read the bill? I have read most of it now, and I am scared to death. The new level of control over our lives is staggering- and this is just the beginning. Once these things have a toehold they only get worse and worse, never better.

Please get active. Please read the bill so you can see the truth about what they are doing. Don’t believe anyone else- read it yourself. A group of us are working together to read the bill piece by piece and distill the most troubling bits. If you can help out there it would be great. It is at: http://www.freemarketers.com

But please do something. This is the time to fight. Just stand and be heard. And thank you so much to all of you who already are.

Uh, Stormy, I already pay for my insurance thanks. I don;t need to sign any “opt-out” card for a scialized medicine system that I do not favor and in fact, vehemnetly oppose.

Furthermore, I’m sure the “rest of you” will get along just fine until the socialized model collapses and eats everyone around it, including us who you mockingly suggest should “opt out”.

Why? Becauue the limited number of folks like you don’t PAY any taxes, or precious few at that.

And mainly, because government-run programs SUCK. Governments SUCK at crafting and delivering value to citizens: especially running the existing healthcare programs and social security system they have foisted on us in the first place.

Try getting your representatives to leave us alone, go fix SSI. And don’t hold your breath, Stormy. And get your paws out of my wallet too.

Thanks.

So when do congresscritters and liberal advocacy groups such as the AARP get it that at a Town Hall meeting there are times to simply shut up and listen?

Oh, and yes, these vile and violent fake protesters were so well-dressed, it was pathetic they didn’t know to be “real” (i.e., liberal) protesters they had to go without showering for three weeks, let their hair become rats’ nests, and wear their pants below their buttocks. Some of these fake protesters even looked like they may be wearing clothes from Wal-Mart!

That one fake protester who gave that long speech — man, he deserves an Oscar for his fake emotion, his fake outrage, his fake and manufactured sincerity! I haven’t seen acting this good since Ronald Reagan was in B movies! Wow, I sure am glad Gibbels, Pelousy and Babs Boxer turned me on to this astroturf show. Better than Jon Minus Kate Plus Eight!

I never dreamed that I would ever live to see a time when I am hesitant to even publish or speak my thoughts for fear that I would be targeted by the government for my excercise of free speech. I am in my late 60’s and will NEVER join AARP due to their highly political one sided support of these liberal agendas. I have never been denied any healthcare that I have needed, but have great fear for the future that the day will come when I will be denied, since, according to the Czars that Obama has placed in charge I have already lived out my usefullness. I pray daily that America will wake up and pay attention to what these people have said, written, and profess to believe about the value of life at various ages. I hate to think what this country is going to look like 5 years from now, if I am allowed to live that much longer. Anyone that would publish a paper that says that a young adolescent child’s death is more tragic than an infant’s death because they already have been an investment of training and knowledge is straight from the minds of people like Hitler.

Worth repeating –

But can I still get my AARP discount at the all you can eat buffet?

Lisa asks – “Ya gotta wonder, folks. . .what’s the agenda here? Why the lies? Why the collusion?”

Pobbo is going to clue you in and spell it out.

First of all, this entire healthcare debacle is like hitting a hornet’s nest with a broom. And everyone knows that. So why do it?

Here is why -

Bank records – to STEAL whatever you have in your account upon death through government fiat. They will have communists such as Sotamayor writ along with others on the bench that the money in YOUR ACCOUNT is that of the state and not your rightful heirs.

Tax records – in order to retro-actively tax you after death for years and years and grab whatever they could not during the first year after your death. Family members who have inherited a home need to watch for seizure and and liens for years and years. Back taxes will be collected no matter what – even if a disabled person is thrown onto the street.

Rationing – everyone should know this, but just in case. Your value to the STATE will be determined by a governmental body. With more people entering the STATE system, and fewer doctors to actually see this influx- you do the numbers and you will see that there will certainly be rationing. As the baby boomers retire, the stress on the current system would be taxed, add in the social care and well, it’s a horrible time to be a baby boomer. Can’t say that you folks don’t deserve it after being the me me me generation for 50+ years… maybe it’s time you gave some back LOL… I know it’s a tough pill to swallow, (pun intended) but you have all mostly supported this Democrat cabal for years and years and as they say – pay backs are a b1tch. Rationing is a simple way to get rid of those not deemed valuable, so all you trust-funders, and non-google execs, I’d be a lil concerned.

Money grab vs. power grab – this is synonymous and this will be the largest grab ever. There will be no one able to start a business, launch a career, go to a medical school or business school in the near future as this will all be decided by the same government body that determines your over-all worth to the STATE – this is what socialism and communism does. They know best and you just follow orders. While the money is siphoned away in a tax scheme after death you and your family will be robbed of any of the generational wealth accumulation your family has acquired. Don’t believe me – just wait and see.

Ok brownshirts – report Pobbo to your betters!!! LOL

The crowd was very rude. AARP is not endorsing or sponsoring any bill. They, like anyone with a brain, supports healthcare reform in some way, shape, or form. If you want to have an anti-Obama rally, go have one. But don’t hijack a Town Hall meeting, point your fingers at an organization that fights everyday for your interests. What we have here is 80% of the population that does have healthcare saying, “I don’t give a rat’s a** about people who don’t have healthcare. Go f yourselves.” Then, of course they pat themselves on the back for being such great Christians and go clean their guns.

Bige…

Who’s majority? A majority of democrats, or a majority of the American electorate?

AARP has been a left-wing support organization for decades, and is in the business of making money by preying on the fears of seniors. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm asked if there was an alternative organization, and I wonder about that too. AARP has been dogging me for years with their mailings, and Hell will freeze over before I send them dues so they can waste it supporting programs that are and will bankrupt our country. I would join a NEUTRAL seniors organization in a heartbeat, but AARP? No thanks!

Obama should just lay the cards on the table and be honest with the American people of his preference for socialism. I just hope when Congress flips next year to the Republicans it is not too late to save the future of the country, and they are more responsible about spending than the last time they were in the majority. Term limits should be a priority along with stopping the Chicago outlaw express that is Obama and his cronies.

The t-shirt I wear to Tea Parties, townhall meetings and “listening sessions” is running out of room on it.

You know, it’s the t-shirt I wear that says D a m n Right I’m A: Clinger, Angry Mob, Well Dressed, Clean, Brooks Brothers Wearing, AstroTurf, ex-AARP, AMERICAN CITIZEN!

And, I’m proud of all the above!

You wrote, “Here is a quote from Andrea Mitchell–MSNBC—-”These people (you and me) don’t know what is best for them.””

Yeah, guess HER OLD WRINKLED HUBBY, AL GREEN-SPAHN, also believed that… and look where we all are now, thanks to HIS masterful jockeying with interest rates and other fiduciary responsibilities! (He ought to be sharing a cell with Madoff, IMHO.)

Hey old fogies,rush drugbaugh and slime hannity supporters, since your’e all millionaires, you should stop taking Socialism Security and socialist Medicare and socialist medicaid. Luckily you’ll be dead soon and we won’t have to keep paying for your lazy azzs…

why would anyone in their right mind even join AARP???

Since when has profit been bad?

Cut up my card and mailed it back to them. Called and cancelled my membership and when asked why – seling out seniors by supporting Obamacare, is NOT what I have given money to. Good riddance. Wonder how many others are doing the same?

Quit the AARP.

They endorsed, funded, and supported EVER Dem socialist in power…no excuses….no bitching….just quit or you are just as guilty.

You do not need to be a member of the liberal democrat lobby group AARP to get Medicare Suppliment insurance or drug plan insurance. Their suppliment is higher than other insurance companies. You can sign up for their plan which is just a sponsored plan through United without being a member if you like the plan.

AARP is a shill for the United insurance company anyway. As soon as you sign up you are bombarded with insurance deals of every kind and they call you wanting you to call your rep in congress to support the Obamacare bill that is stacked against the elderly because they are a pressure group for the democrat party. Every issue of their magazine features some Holywood wacko on the front cover that hates everything America has stood for.

Just say NO to AARP. You don’t need them.

AARP is a liberal organization that supports Obama. I joined a couple years ago to get discounts on motels. Now I feel like a slut. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Norm;

Surprise AARP is just another insurance broker or haven’t you noticed. They don’t support single payer and I’d never support them, glad you agree with me. you old goat..

My parents will gladly cancel their membership after seeing this video.

For the bots and administration who are making the insurance companies the villains-your argument doesn’t hold a lot of water. Insurance companies are highly regulated already and complaints can be filed with the commissioner. If you don’t like the insurance you have, change it! It’s still a free county (sort of) and there is still competition (for now). Insurance companies must set aside a reserve so they can pay claims–what appears to be a huge profit is actually money set aside to pay claims when they happen. (anyone remember how devastating Katrina was to the insurance carriers?) We WANT our insurance companies to have money to pay claims! Insurance companies also keep the costs of medical care as low as possible and negotiate on behalf of their members.

Now, if you really want to find a villain–take a look at the ambulance-chasers who get 1/3 of their clients’ misfortunes without having to live with the damages. Why doesn’t this administration want tort reform (to hold down the amount lawyers can receive or control frivolous lawsuits)? WELL…that’s because the trial lawyers supported Obama’s push to the office of POTUS–it’s payback time for them!

(Kudos to the person who said she looked like she’s pulling a trailer–I needed the laugh. Arrogant, condescending witch…)

Who is the marine at 3:45? Can he start a new org to replace AARP?

JB tells us:

“1981: (Reagan) Administration proposes three-­month delay in 1982 cost-of-1iving increases.”

JB, that’s old news.

Here’s the latest news:
2009: obama says there will be no cost-of-living increases for the next three years.

I’m canceling my membership in AARP.

What a disgusting display of arrogance. (Rather reminds one of the White House, don’t you think?)

I encourage everyone who knows of anyone else who is an AARP member to contact them and encourage them to cancel their membership as well.

Considering that the membership of AARP are the highest users of medical care and facilities, you would NORMALLY think they would be the most concerned but this obvious proposal rationing…. but noooooooooo! They don’t give a flying flip.

Just another l-i-b-t-a-r-d arm of this socialist government takeover. You folks who are senior citizens have been warned for years and years about this group and the Democrat party – but you pull that lever like Pavlov’s dogs. CAN YA hear me now?

The threats they made for years that your social security would be taken away – did that happen? did you get the cost of living increases? did you keep pulling that just to be sure? and now your health care is REALLY gonna be taken away – boy, you sure out smarted everyone didn’t you?

Nice job, reciting all those stattics about the “mean spirited republican party and it’s votes against “the elderly”.

What a crock. Truly “figures lie and liars figure.”

So what’s missing in your recounting of the RNC evil doers?

Howabout an understanding of WHY they voted against their demo-socialist colleagues – like NO MORE TAXES to further fund/prolong the waste of an an already BANKRUPT sucky government-imposed system that has failed everybody – and been emptied of every cent by spenders in congress for over 50 years. Where is all of our money – where did it go? STOLEN AND SPENT BY FARKING CONGRESS. Oh, I mean “borrowed”.

BTW…I did buy a new t-shirt today.

I’m in San Antonio, Texas for a few days, and visited The Alamo today.

A visit like that should wake up ANY red-blooded American.

And, of course, I bought a t-shirt that displays a picture of The Alamo, and the phrase Liberty or Death

I cancelled mine years ago when I saw that their agenda was diametrically opposite of mine. I haven’t missed them. I wondered when the elderly would wake up and understand that they are the biggest targets in this Obama plan.

What an unprofessional way to conduct a ‘listen-session’. AARP didn’t listen to anyone. They left the room becuase they didn’t hear what they wanted to hear. Reminds of the “don’t taze me bro” guy who tried to ask Kerry a question he didn’t like. I’m starting to see a trend that a certain party just doesn’t want to hear what some people have to say. This time they were way outnumbered and couldn’t force out the people they didn’t want to hear.

AARP are serving Marxists and appear to like Marxist Ideology like Eugenics for the old.

AARP members – you can join AAA or NRA or just about anything and get great benefits through them as well. Realize AARP is not about you at all. It’s more like obama – just ripping you off and not listening.

AARP is lying, I remember them specifically endorsing Senator John Kerry (who served in Vietnam) for President in 2004. They are simply another Statist activist group using good people’s money to further Socialism which is immoral and evil.

The chic in the beginning shows her utter contempt for the masses.

We “Baby boomers” better stand and fight this crap now before it is too late. I heard today that 50% of people 35 and younger have a problem with Truman dropping the bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. After losing over 20 thousand marines and infantry on Okinawa, we looked at losing over a million men in taking Japan. My Father fought out of Guam and he and many of your fathers would have died, leaving a lot fewer of us. This being said, if we do not stand and be counted, we will be expendable to these fascists. Stop AARP and Obama’s minions as soon as possible. We pay the majority of the taxes while 20 million Illegals pay nothing and will receive our healthcare. Revolt by withholding your votes and money from these Democrats (and liberal Republicans) and let’s get our country back before it’s too late.

I am 57 and have never joined AARP and never will, but, I receive invitations to join regularly and have always just thrown them in the trash. I will never again throw them away. They have postage paid envelopes enclosed for the return so I will now boldly mark on the application “Never in your wildest dreams will I give a penny to this organization to do the bidding of Barack Obama” and send back in the return envelope. They will have to pay the postage for the return and hopefully will eat up valuable profits. It also means they have to open up the envelope as they do not know what is inside and now they know exactly why they have my disgust. My husband is doing the same. Enough people do this and they will understand our “mob mentality”.

I’m with Debbie…I’m cancelling my membership to AARP and joining the NRA!!!

Just got my renewal in the mail- I will NOT be renewing my membership.

Want to tell them how you feel? Speak out!

Quote – JB August 6th, 2009 – 4:18 pm

In all these town hall meetings no one stands up and demonstrates any critical thinking whatsoever. It is a vocal morass of platitudes, emotions, and generalities that don’t bring solutions. The Republican opposition to Social Security was just as intense but there was no internet back then. They were delighted of course to get Wall Street involved in managing your social security funds. Let’s see some of the folks drop their monthly check for the good of the country. Don’t believe anything you hear and only believe half of what you see.

1935: 99 percent of Republicans in House and 63 percent in Senate try to kill Social Security by voting to send the bill back to committee.

1939: 75 percent of Republicans in Senate try to kill legislation providing Social Security benefits to dependents and survivors as well as retired workers.

1950: 79 percent of House and 89 percent vote against disability insurance to defeat it.

1956: 86 percent of Republicans in Senate oppose disability insurance; program approved nonetheless

<>

Thanks for proving that the repubs were right all along – social security is humming along like every other government program. Thanks for making the point!!! <>

I’m canceling. It is time to speak with our feet and lead others to do so too.

I used to get invitations to join this group all the time and after years of not joining I guess they finally gave up. I knew after seeing the candidates they support and back that the AARP is just a part of the democrat party and willl have nothing to do with them. I hope many of them now quit this organization.

Fed up with AARP? There’s a new Sheriff in town. It’s called ASA. The American Seniors Association. This organization will be an alternative to the leftist dogma and politicizing of the AARP. Finally there’s a senior citizen’s organization that will offer the benefits of AARP membership without spending membership funds on leftist political causes. Go to http://www.americanseniors.org/

I knew where AARP was headed 10 years ago and I revoked my membership. Too bad it’s taken the rest of you so long. Pay attention people — American has a lot more self-serving enemies than you think!

What is AARPP?

Here’s an email address I found for AARP:

member@aarp.org

Let their membership branch know how you feel…

Somebody needs to inform the state-run media, AARP, the Unions, and Obama lovin’ demorats that they are on the wrong side of history! We citizens are “ALL FIRED UP”! THANX TO OBUMBLER – WE GET OUR COUNTRY BACK!
Remember all this bull, people, in 2010!

To Stormy Malone………. If Medicare is currently NOT covering your Rheumatoid Arthritis medication the Obamacare program will not either. Remember the game plan is to reduce coverage all across the board. Do your homework and please READ the Bill. Obama is pushing an agenda and he himself said he had not read the bill and is not going to either.

FYI, we just cancelled our AARP Supplemental Plan yesterday and they were not happy about it. AARP has become too polical over the last number of years & are definitely NOT looking out for Seniors instead they sell other products and I no longer want to contribute to their greedy goals!

To:Stormy Malone

“All you naysayers, please get off the medicare plan – and please commit here and now that you do not want to be covered by any type of new Obama led healthcare. If you promise you will pay out of your pocket for the great health care you are receiving privately, then I think the rest of us will be fine and be able to make the numbers work on the public plan.

If you have a great private plan, please publish the results here so I can get my $1850 MONTHLY prescriptions covered when I turn 65 in February. The Medicare drug plan doesn’t cover – REJECTS- my medications for Rheumatoid Arthritis. So since you people have the answers, then speak up. I’m listening.”

My husband is probably on the same meds as you. He’s now on Medicare as well as private insurance. Before medicare got involved we had no problem covering his meds. (Enbrel) Our insurance covered some of it and the easystep program from the manufacturer covered the rest, all but $75.00. 90 day supply of injections was 10,000.00. We paid $75 total!!!!!!!!

Now with medicare involved, he can’t go to the same doctors because they do not like to deal with medicare for many reasons. We are going to a different insurance company that won’t require my husband to be on medicare just because he is 65.

Do your homework. There are always ways in this country to get good medical care without getting the government involved.

I dropped my membership after they made Harry Belafonte their person of the year. They are no different than acorn (with a small a). If you are worried about the discounts, you can find them through other groups or associations. Don’t be fooled, they are nothing more than a lackey wing of the liberals.

Excellent.
The man in the back who stated that government “should get the HELL out of our lives.” spoke for me. The edit was respectful, the theme being we are American’s and we need to fix this problem.

WE fight and work to restore our LIBERTY.

Truth be told, these artificial and UNFUNDED social nets of Medicare, Medicad, Prescription Drug Coverages and SOCIAL SECURITY have all created this noose around our necks. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO TO PHASE IT OUT, meet our commitments to those that were SOLD this program, and make the cut-off at probably the age of 45. Those born after 1964 ,SO SORRY,NO FREE ANYTHING, but you same people will pay to UNWIND THIS MESS TILL the last elderly, widower infirmed recipient no longer needs the cash. Obviously, the infirmed at any age should and will receive benefits for ever.

Linda August 6th, 2009 – 4:21 pm YOUR FEAR IS WELL FOUNDED!

It’s a slippery slope we are on now —- When they think nothing of ‘terminating’ babies in the womb, end of life decisions are a cake walk for them mur-der-in’ bas-tards!

aarp is just a rip off sales to the elderly gang, don’t deliberately represent any dues paying members, they might by accident if it coincides with their sales programs.

An alternative to AARP is NASCON; check them out.

And besides canceling you AARP membership, STOP watching NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC. These are nothing but media arms of the liberals and do nothing but push their agenda 24 hrs a day.

All I can say is, IT’S ABOUT FREAKING TIME AMERICA!!! While you’ve been asleep, the Communists (aka: Democrats) have entered the final phase of the takeover of America. Don’t believe it? GOOGLE: “The 45 Stated Communist Goals” and read the list. And while you’re at it, GOOGLE: “The Sworn Affidavit Of Bishop Ron McRae” and read it to find out just WHO and WHAT is squatting in OUR White House.

As far as the AARP is concerned, it’s been in bed with liberals for years and is nothing but a huge SCAM. I refused to register and anyone who has been a member should immediately QUIT!

Just like unions, AARP was about people in the beginning. Now, it’s about power. The thing is, people can take that power away. I suggest we do it now. I can’t think of a clearer message to AARP, “our” elected leadership at every level, and unions. Do it now while you still have the right. rb

I will not join this liberal organization. I would advise all of you out there to pull out and keep your money.

AARP will never get any more money from me.

Now thay will be watching you too!!!
Not to mention, we have amssed more than 150,000 that have turned themselves in to flag.gov!! This is great, I DARE the Obama monkey to come knocking on our door.
It is time someone put a foot in Obama’s ass!
And I am willing to start. The line starts here!

I will not be renewing my membership which I just received in the mail a couple of days ago. And as far as that blond moron goes, I remember Kent State (she has no idea how fired up my generation can get). Pulling a microphone won’t stop us from speaking up.

To JB: This healthcare proposal is nothing like Social Security where you contribute to the fund. Moreover, it is not a social program – its an entitlement program that our government borrowed from and never paid back. So you have them to thank, in part, for the shortfall in Social Security.

Also, do you want this government running a healthcare program when they can even keep track of the illegal aliens in this country. And when your 80 (if you aren’t already) do you want to sit down with a counselor so they can tell you how to die? Good grief.

This is not a Republican/Democrat issue where we are trying to draw lines down the center – it is for every American to have all of the facts (not just propaganda) before we sign up. Unfortunately, we are not getting the whole truth and we know it!

Why belog to an organization that is not responsive to you? Vote with your feet (and your wallet).

The counterrevolution is back. Only this time, the baby boomers who were hard-working and not toking (the silent majority) are standing up to their contemporaries who socially engineered this whole mess. It’s another (un)civil war of sorts — with baby boomer against baby boomer. ‘Bout damn time!

Here’s an email address fro AARP:

member@aarp.org

Let the membership know how you feel.

AARP (like this President) don’t think anyone is smart enough to disagree with them. I’m 61 and they sure don’t speak for me. Refuse any mailing from the AARP — make them pay for the return postage.

Get a clue, AARP is on board with the Dems because they will be one of the government insurers and make a handy profit. The Art of War states that it is easier to take over an existing entity than build one yourself.

“Law Enforcement” enables this swill.

CANCEL your membership.

Really want to make ‘em mad? Join the National Rifle Association.

Please ask questions of your reps supporting what is now being referred to as “health insurance reform.” Questions like, how old is too old? What is too premature of a birth? When is a brain injury too “traumatic?” How many fetuses are too many to carry? How much physical or mental disability is too much? These questions and literally thousands of others are questions real families face and answer in consultation with their doctors today, yet government involvement in our health decisions would require someone else to answer these for us. Please educate yourselves, family and friends about the potential long and short-term consequences of health reform and then express your views with all of your legislators. Gain the support of your physicians and involve them in your lobbying efforts.

Has anybody looked at 60plus.org? They’re supposed to be the conservative alternative to AARP.

I’ve known about the problems with AARP for years. They have an overwhelming majority of members that are conservative and/or Republican yet they overwhelmingly spend your money on supporting liberal and/or Democrat politicians. They have not represented their membership in decades. The same is true of most labor unions. A rose by any other name.

DCitalian – my husband is over 50 – so we are plagued with mail from AARP and they do too support an agenda for this healthcare bill – and all these people did was follow Obama’s advice to get in the faces of people – why is it okay when Obama gives this direction when he wants to get attention for his stance but not okay for those that oppose his positions?

I just looked at AARP’s myth vs. fact page regarding Obamacare and immediatley cancelled my membership. My wife signed me up without my approval anyway.

“What is AARPP?”
The sound my dog makes when she eats to fast and some of it comes back up a bit!

AARP IS GOING DOWN FAST AND WE MUST KEEP IT DOWN. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CORRUPT. PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING AND STOP OBAMACARE. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE OUR GOLDEN YEARS. ODUMBO WANTS US TO DIE IF HE HAS HIS WAY. TAKE HEED EVERYONE AND DO THE RIGHT THING.

Once again I feel cheated. I would like to tear up my AARP card, but I did that several years ago when I realized how they pushed their liberal socialized agenda.

Exactly right Mr. Burke. That 50% you referenced are no doubt currently undergoing “indoctrination” in one of our “institutions of higher indoctrination”…sorry, “higher education”.

Just sent an email to cancel my membership, and hope all seniors will do the same. I didn’t work all my life and serve this great country to be treated in this manner.

AARP mails out millions of membership applications every month (bulk rate), farming us for those membership fees.

Get out a Sharpie and write in bold print across their application, “No Obamacare!”

do not sign or otherwise fill in the application.

Stuff the application into the provided first class postage paid return envelope and drop it in the nearest mailbox.

AARP will then have to pay 44 cents each to “hear” our thoughts on socialized medecine.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

-Joseph Goebbels

Contact New York Life Insurance company and complain. This is the life company they make million off of. Hit them in the pocket book. Also request everything possible benefit from AARP and return the postage paid envelopes to AARP.

DCitalian,

Careful, your bigotry is showing.

I’ve gotten my AARP membership forms and tossed them.

For the very few who say we need this Obamacare, wake up!

Health care does need some reform, but not takeover.

Where in the bill is tort reform?

Where is inducement for competition?

Where is putting spending controls into the hands of consumers, the ONLY place where you can pit quality against cost successfully?

And FYI, a “public option” for insurance is non competitive. Insurance companies make money by “playing the odds” actuarially, to introduce public funding alternatives will eliminate competition immediately. Also, HR 3200 pushes companies into their little exchange, and takes away their ability to provide options or cost variations.

Kool-aid drinkers had better start paying attention, or you find yourself making a “Logan’s Run.”

Americans are getting FED UP with the Democrat Party’s Communist styled attacks against constituents who are guilty of not following the Party Line.

Obama is responding to these Americans by getting snitches to report on the names, addresses, and e-mail addresses of these fine citizens, then broadcasting this information on the net.
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/politics/state/stories/DN-cornynflag_06nat.ART.State.Edition1.4bb4d44.html

Obama now has 12 Czars. I wonder if one of them will begin to gather these people up for internment, or if Obama will need to appoint a new Czar to handle that task.

Thanks for posting this; my spouse and I had been discussing joining AARP but after seeing this video, we will NOT be signing on.

It is very telling that when you logon to AARP’s website they provide no means of accepting comments beyond snail mail and a phone number. This proves they have no interest in what their memebers think.

Wow when you have old people fired up ………your screwed. They have all the time in the world and will wear these dbags out, this is going to get ugly 2010 is going to be sooooooo much fun!

I canceled my membership 16 years ago, when the AARP endorsed HillaryCare. They could care less what their membership thinks.

When you get your AARP membership form, please do fill it out. Fill it out completely. Hopefully, AARP gets inundated with completed membership forms. Hopefully, their databases swell with hundreds of thousands of new applicants.

If you have trouble filling out the AARP form, do like ACORN did. Visit your local graveyard, or a comic book store. Use the address of a vacant building, or a park bench. Oh, and check the “Bill me later” option.

I’m tired of paying through the nose for insurance premiums that have no end

I’m tired of paying for the millions in profits raked in by the greedy insurance companies

I’m tired of fighting the insurance companies for ANY coverage

NATIONALIZE MEDICINE NOW!

I encourage everyone to tell AARP how they feel.

http://www.aarp.org/aarp/contact_aarp1/

Someone please point out a successful privatized health care system on this planet

waiting

half of you seniors will be collecting Medicare soon anyway. You have some gall to deny others the same care you will be receiving

I cancelled my membership. They are supposed to be the voice of Seniors but they are using our money to advance far left liberal goals. This is just the most blatant example.

I find it interesting that AARP is in full support of this health care bill,
echoing what the Democrats are saying…

Here’s a flashback, eight years ago AARP was fully AGAINST the Bush plan to
strengthen Social Security echoing what Democrats were saying. Hmmmmm

So much for non-partisan concern for its members..

PS: Social Security is in worse shape now…..

Once again, AARP favors the politician over seniors.

The loony-left d-crat socialists are working to gut Medicare and let seniors die without adequate medical treatment. Seniors tend to be conservative and don’t vote for socialists, you see. The more seniors that die from lack of healthcare, the better for the socialists. The socialist bureaucrats have figured out that a body-bag is much, much cheaper than the cost of healthcare for seniors.

AARP + My Wallet + My $$$$$ = never the twain shall meet

The group was obviously agitated, had a misunderstanding regarding the nature of the meeting, and the speakers did not know how to handle it. It seems that this meeting could have progressed if the speakers were better at defusing the anger and letting the people know that they were just there to present their information and pass along any concerns but not get into any debates or discussions (since they are just low level people that have nothing to do with AARP policy and are just transmitting it second hand). They could have given the people the information they need to complain or have the debate with the appropriate people at higher levels (i.e. it was supposed to be an information session, not a discussion or debate).

Called and canceled last night had been a member since 86.
Both me and my wife. The phone person didn’t ask why we were cancelling,
I asked if they wanted to know and the person said we know why, the Health Care issue.

Don’t any of these people understand how angry people are over the loss of our freedom?

JB “In all these town hall meetings no one stands up and demonstrates any critical thinking whatsoever. It is a vocal morass of platitudes, emotions, and generalities that don’t bring solutions. The Republican opposition to Social Security was just as intense…”

JB ignores that Social Security is DYING, LIKE AN AMERICAN UNDER OBAMACARE….

“The current recession is wreaking havoc on the Social Security trust fund. But the real blame lies with irresponsible politicians.”
“The trust fund’s annual surplus will all but vanish next year according to the Congressional Budget Office’s (cbo’s) most recent report. With unemployment rising, there are 5.1 million fewer workers paying into Social Security than when the recession began in December 2007.”
From theTrumpet.com

So YA, let’s turn our HEALTHCARE OVER TO THESE SAME IDIOTS! THAT MAKES SENSE!!! JB is an internet operative or a “true believer” in Obama’s socialism, either way his head is firmly up his a$$…

My 85 year old mother gets it. She called me last night and said “call AARP and cancel my membership.” I asked her why and she said “because they are no longer representing me by supporting this health care bill.” I called AARP to cancel and was told “only the member can cancel” before the lady asked “why is she canceling?” I told her the reason why, their support of government healthcare and her attitude suddenly changed. She became short, terse, and rude when I tried to ask questions. I finally hung up on her.

SEPTEMBER 12TH — WASHINGTON D.C. — PROTEST

Get your church bus and load it up, call your friends and family and drive together.
Get on a train or bus, walk if you have too but get there!

If we can get a million people to protest on September 12th in one place — Capital
Hill — then they will have to listen!

This is our only chance. This is our last chance before they force us into socialized
healthcare and their other socialized agendas.

The really amazing thing is that my wife runs into senior citizens every day and nearly everyone of them expresses fear and loathing of our government officials and AARP.

As more and more companies shift the burden of health care on to employees, it only a matter of time until we get socialized medicine.
In my state not one ER doctor works for the hospital or participates in any health insurance plans.
Instead they take advantage of people when they are most vunarble and charge sky high fees.
There is no competition. Doctors still don’t care about prices.
It pretty bad when people with insurance now have to pay several thousand dollars (with their credit card at 30% interest rate) just to be admitted to the hospital.
ER room doctors should not be making $500,000 yr. The system is broke.

How dare these uppity old coots actually speak their minds. Who are they to question Dear Leader? Don’t they know that it’s in their grandchildren’s best interest that they just drop dead today so that we don’t have to pay for their end of life care later on? What a bunch of selfish bastards.

You know that AARP derives most of its money from the Government, not the members. They don’t give a flying crap about the members.

Want to know Obama’s plan for America? Watch the movie “Soylent Green.” http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1296155071179146825

See if this doesn’t scare the crap out of you!!!

Wake-Up AMERICA!!

http://www.AmericanPatrol.com

medicare is socialized medicine. Pls cancel your medicare along with your AARP

good luck on that one

Never have I seen more hypocrisy from you Medicare sucking deadbeats. Grow up. You lost!

I canceled last week when I found out AARP was supporting ObamaCare. They
didn’t like what I had to say either.

WOW… did you see all those elderly Nazi’s and how they were dressed. One nazi was wearing a Marines t-shirt, another nazi was wearing a plaid shirt, OMG, another nazi was wearing reading glasses, another nazi was wearing a baseball cap and a floral shirt, and my gosh…the one nazi lady was wearing a pink shirt with white stripes…. Oh lordie..what is this country coming too.

The socialist left in this country are so DELUSIONAL.

God Bless these AMERICANS who stand up and speak their minds and their concerns. We can all take a lesson from them.

We as AMERICANS “Do not go gentle into that good night…” , We will not stand idly … We will BE HEARD… WE will squash this tyranny!

Liberty and Freedom for ONE and ALL! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

DOWN WITH AARP!!!!!!! …. THEY SOLD OUT TO OBAMACARE AND ARE LYING ABOUT WHAT ITS GOING TO DO!!!!!!!

I too just turned 50 and was going to sign up for AARP…but not any more.

I can’t support that group.

I LOVE AARP!

They DO NOT want to http://www.DumpChrisDodd.com

Just LOOK at this well-dressed mob carrying their swastikas. You people should be ashamed. Now bend over, grab your ankles, and take it up the backside like good little automatons.

hey diane August 6th, 2009 – 5:19 pm:
medicare is socialized medicine. Pls cancel your medicare along with your AARP.
good luck on that one.
————–
Yes, and the government isn’t running medicare all that well are they? With
over $60 billion a year in medicare and medicaid fraud, how much fraud do you
think will be in ObamaCare? Obama likes to say that there is money allocated
in his healthcare program to combat fraud. Typical politician to campaign against
what they created! If they really wanted to get rid of the fraud they would
have done it by now.

Obama and our members on the Hill are the MOB!

My wife and I were considering joining AARP…that WILL NOT be happening now. The representatives from AARP were rude, arrogant and clearly could care less what their customers’ needs were.

My profound grief at watching this video. The vulnerable elders of our community are being misled and misused to exploit other vulnerable people of our community. My grief that Drudgereport and Breitbart cooperate with this abuse.

AARP wants to defend their members. The ultimate goal of the corporate raiders is to abandon social security. To defend the public option for our elder people, we need to extend it to all the people. Otherwise, the corporations will have their way and their tax cuts when they get rid of social security.

I am grieving drudgereport and Breitbart.

AARP Board of Directors and the CEO need to be replaced ASAP. There is no room for them in this organization. Go somewhere else like ACORN.

As an alternative check out http://www.americanseniors.org/Pages/ASA’sFourPillars.aspx?Images=/images/american_services.JPG

the well dress retired mobs hired by the insurance industry strike again! AARP is nothing more then a diseased appendage of the democrat party. I am happy to hear memberships are being canceled.

Senior Citizens,
Let the Dead Presidents speak for you….CANCELL YOUR MEMBERSHIP….the AARP
wither and die the way Obama-care will want you to!

I sent my last letter I received from them back with a Return to
Sender stamped on it. That is how I will protest everytime they send me junk mail.

Get it through your thick heads SLAVES!

You are going to get what they want.

So keep your mouths shut.

I will take all the AARP mailings they send me. I hope they burn through a lot of money doing it.

Hope they are not waiting for me to mail them a check!!

AARP is United Health Care’s agent. AARP gets most of their 1 Billion income from United.
Not a good reference.

AARP is little more than a high pressure sales organization pushing inferior financial products on unsuspecting citizens. They have convinced the most helpless among us that AARP is interested in their well being. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are only interested in power over elderly Americans, subjugating them to the government in return for further government subsidizing for AARP. They are thiefs and liars; in short, they are charlatans, no better than the thugs at ACORN.

Wow a bunch of people cashing social security checks and collecting medicare are against a public health care plan? Go figure.

Who was that obese obnoxious piece of Marxist filth cow that tried to shut down the meeting? She needs to drop a couple tons and maybe her attitude and listening ability will improve.

Unbelievable. I’m cancelling my AARP membeship. Leftist stooges.

KENNEDY/DODD HEALTH CARE BILL?

This MUST be a some sort of SICK JOKE!

Exhibit A: The DIVER speaks – http://www.fatboy.cc/live_from_chappaquiddick.htm

Exhibit B: The WAITRESS speaks – http://sonsoftherepublic.blogspot.com/2005/08/kennedy-dodd-waitress-sandwich.html

CHRI$ Dodd took over for Kennedy, as chairman of the HELP Committee. How apropos. People do scream for HELP, when these 2 get involved.

A few years ago I wrote a straight forward letter to the AARP Pointing out that they do NOT speak for me even though I am a member. They intend to protect their bailiwick and that means supporting causes that many of us are against. When and where did I give them my power of attorney? The AARP has outlived its usefulness.

We cancelled our AARP membership years ago when the organization named that well known America hater Harry Belafonte as it’s “Person of the Year”. That told us all we needed to know about AARP.

So, all you seniors that thought AARP was in your corner–do you see they are in their own corner. CANCEL your memberships and wake up!

Bige for single payer–:hey there idiot-get a job, and stop ridding the coattails of the people that made this country what it was–and again will be–all these folks worked for what they have-they arn’t looking for a free ride like you! They deserve to live in retirment just like I hope to do one day!! Spoken from a Gulf War Vet!!!

The wit and wisdom of “Bige for single Payer”

“Hey old fogies,rush drugbaugh and slime hannity supporters, since your’e all millionaires, you should stop taking Socialism Security and socialist Medicare and socialist medicaid.
Luckily you’ll be dead soon and we won’t have to keep paying for your lazy azzs…”

Classic!

Thank you for perfectly demonstrating the fondest dreams of those promoting Obamacare:

T H A T . A L L . T H O S E . O L D . F O G I E S . A R E . D E A D . S O O N !

I would love to be able to continue private insurance (which I have paying for the last 10 yrs) when I turn 65. Here’s a clue. No one will insure you since there is Medicare. Or at least not without a premium that very few could afford.

With that said, cancelled AARP years ago after seeing nothing but liberals on the cover of their magazine. I think the one with Jane Fonda put me over the top.

There are far better and cheaper supplemental insurances than AARP. Just do a little research.

There are also ways to help those without insurance without throwing out the baby with the bath water. It is just an excuse to take over our lives….banks, cars, health insurance. YOu ain’t seen nothing yet…wait for Cap and Fraud and watch your energy bills skyrocket.

Oops….gotta run….got to put on my dressy clothes and apply the swatsika to it. I’ll vote for anyone to just get Barbara Boxer out of office.

These people at the meeting are clearly facist redneck rightwingers.
Maybe they can be reported to the Whitehouse and then rounded up for…
re-education.

Yes We Can…Build a http://www.NewNation.org …YES WE CAN!!

AARP is and has been a tool of the teachers union to gain favors from the democratic party.
They have never helped seniors other than the small discounts that cost them nothing.

gall: What are you talking about? You make it sound as if seniors are standing in the way of something that’s an entitlement to others? Nobody’s standing in anyone’s way of receiving care they pay for. In fact, as it stands, no one is standing in the way of people receiving care they DON’T even pay for (witness the uncompensated bills that push hospitals out of business — you can thank deadbeats and Medicare for not covering those). What seniors don’t want is this bill — no one said they weren’t in favor of reform — they are more than likely not in favor of heavy-handed, all-encompassing government control. The same government that throws money away on Murtha’s empty airport, the same government that allocates money to ACORN, the same government that raided Social Security time and again — that’s our money, dude — and now it’s headed for a train wreck. How are our politicians any different than greedy Wall Street? Not one iota. You can not put your money, blindly, in the market. You can not spend more than you make on a jumbo house. But you have no option when it comes to the government. You can be naive and a tool and a defender of a government that basically steals from you, or you can stand for a small government, with limitations, a short leash.

Don’t the politicians, like Nancy Pelosi, and ARRP get it? The vast majority of Americans do not want Government run health care.

I canceled my membership 2 years ago – and to make it hurt a little, ALL of the renewal forms they send month after month, enclose a few pages from the mailing in the envelope and RETURN IT TO THEM! The envelope is prepaid postage and it will cost them to receive it, open it and dispose of it and they might decide to listen to their members once again. I am an old person and that do not represent me!

It is pretty obvious that the AARP is just another branch of the DNC

Promoting age anger
Promoting race anger
Promoting class anger
Promoting vote buying
Promoting government dependency

All with the same goal of staying in power and controlling more lives
and having the well dressed protestors pay for all of it

when will this selfish, overspending, irresponsible generation die off?

they reelect the same idiots every year, then scream about their decisions
they fight and fight to keep the retirement age low, then complain about Social Security costs

the hypocrisy is sickening and is killing our nation

God bless each and everyone of these people who participated in this meeting and everyone of you who took time to leave your comments. I’m a 61 year old insurance broker and have refused to be an AARP member for years or write any insurance thru their organization. They don’t care a crap about their members. Now I know, I’m no longer alone in this fight for what’s right. Every American child in this country deserves the same opportunity I was given by my parents and grandparents …. To live free and make their own ohoices in life without fear of the government telling them what the have to do!!! I feel like a new person again. What a beautiful day to be alive! Let’s get things straightened out before the three stooges,(Obama, Pelosi & Reid) screw everything up. Our children and grandchildren deserve it !!!! I love a good fight cause I don’t give up!

I’m listening to a song on itunes…The song is “Revolution Calling” by Queensryche. Enough said…Whatever your song of freedom, sing it now, sing it loud and sing it PROUD!

I bailedon AARP when Harry Bellafonte blew his mouth off and they had him on the cover of their magazine. They are an organization that has become bloated at the top and deaf to the people who pay the bills. .Hmmmmmmmmm-sounds like our Government at all levels!

We cancelled our AARP subscription today and await a refund in a “few” weeks.

Their phone number is 1-888-OUR-AARP Then watch a rerun of Soylent Green or Logan’s Run. And remember, Congress has exempted themselves and their families from what is being foisted on us “little people.” Enough.

I received in the mail today an application for joining AARP. I returned the PPD envelope with nothing in it. There’s a message there.

The Health Care Bill is GREAT! And you know I would NEVER lie. http://www.SWIFTVETS.com – I SERVED IN VIETNAM.

I live off my salary…listen – http://www.liveshot.cc/billions_and_billions.htm

The COUNTERREVOLUTION is back. Only this time, the baby boomers who were hard-working, serving overseas, going to college or starting a family (the silent majority) and NOT toking are standing up to their contemporaries who socially engineered this whole nightmare. It’s another (un)civil war of sorts — with baby boomer against baby boomer. ‘Bout damn time!

Dems living in la la land dont understand that not every American is as dumb and gullible as those that voted for Obama. And many that voted for Obama to prove themselves cool for voting for the black guy are starting to wake up to the fact that they voted for a black socialist. A socialist of any colors SUCKS royally.

I am looking forward to Obama’s final solution to the health care question. Seniors must understand that the draconian cuts to medicare contained in the bill are for the best. Seniors must be willing to sacrifice for the greater good. Those too sick or who’s treatment is too expensive will be evacuated to old age ghettos. There they will be euthanized with dignity. Remember it’s for the greater good. It’s Obamacare.

I’m old enough to be an AARP member. Hell, I’ve been old enough for a long time. When I turned 50, I obtained a membership for AARP. I was pretty disgusted by the petty partisanship this outfit demonstrated, which was outdone only by their hypocrisy.

The AARP is little more than a way for the Democrats to keep sway on the older Americans. You can tell by their tactics. It’s their way or no way. You will be heard at their leisure and for the duration they choose. They have enough operatives in any large group to shout/shame/stare down anyone who is upset that their question is being evaded or replied with bull.

AARP – ACORN for the Aged.

We’re better off getting Life Memberships in the NRA.

From this discussion any observer can see American is corrupt and now in chaos.
You will take the bitter medicine there is no other choice.
Are we being left to our own devices?

Do me one favor, leave God out of this Titanic discussion, as He is most disappointed at being ignored.

Did anyone know that only 15% of new doctors decide to become General Practitioners?
Are they like Dr. House where they want to treat as few low-fee patients as possible?

I’ve been overseas and the doctors do not have the arrogance so common here.
They also think outside the pharmaceutical box.

A doctor taking off a wart on my back actually cut me harder when I told him I had changed my mind and was for socialized medicine. The nurse chuckled!

Thanks for listening!

AARP? I don’t think they are the sharpest tools in the shed.

Dave Pace — Be sure to tell your GP that he/she is arrogant as he/she is gloving up for your next RE. Exactly who is arrogant?

Think nationally, act locally, we the people still have the power, but we must use it before they finish taking it away. Act now, do what you can, whether it’s organizing town hall meetings in your town, stuffing envelopes, or just going to the comments on news stories and supplying others with information. It’s not a GOP sore loser whine, or a Democratic whine you hear, it’s an American rumble, that is turning into a roar. Go to this site and enter your zip code, it will give you local people in your neighborhood that are just as upset about Obama as they were of Bush, that are doing things with your friends neighbors and local politicians to bring that change.
teapartyday.com
Cancel your AARP memberships with a letter of explanation.

The guy at 4:10 is wearing a great SHRUG! Atlas Shrugged T from conservativeshirts.com – Nothing scares a liberal like the thought that the producers in society might just pack up and leave.

The Dems can call us whatever they want in efforts to derail our concerns and complaints. To illustrate just how far out of touch and unable to face reality they have forgotten one description of us and that is a 6 letter word VOTERS

Once we have government health care in place, we’ll be able to euthanize these troublesome old people. I’m almost 50 years old, and I’ve been putting up with these crotchety old geezers for way longer than I care to admit…

THESE PEOPLE WERE RUDE. They should have listened to the presentation and offered comments when it was time.

AARP? American Antagonistic Revolutionary Party!!!! Shame on our leadership! We were the Gray Party before AARP was ever dreamed of!!!! Go back to your glass tower in Washington DC and clean out your desks!

I resigned my lifetime membership on Monday. The AARP is exactly like our government……they don’t listen to their members or constituents.

For all those who have inquired about my health, I’m doing O.K. – http://www.FATBOY.cc

Us older Americans have been electing and re-electing Democrats for decades because the party, at one time, seemed to stand for the regular guy. We became used to going to the polling booth and just pulling the D lever. Well, now it has come home to roost. In the next election cycle it will be time to get up off your couches and go the polls and use your power to make real change. Not the “CHANGE” crap Obama was spouting, but real change. Get rid of the Dims. Cripple them so they can never again try to steal this country and our freedoms from us. Send them a message they will never forget. Know who you are voting for. DUMP THE LIBERALS.

Stacy: “Nothing scares a liberal like the thought that the producers in society might just pack up and leave.”

You nailed it perfectly. Who’s going to be around when the waiter brings the check? Betcha Obama’s projections didn’t take that into account.

I have never done these discussion groups or blogs before – I am not part of an insurance company.

Because of the way this health care conversation is going – last week I decided to get involved.

Todays post: One “Fishy” Email Is Why I Got Involved

Read it here: http://thebestchange.wordpress.com/2009/08/06/one-fishy-email-is-why-i-got-involved/

And if you are not already, get involved.

Did it not seem odd how all the AARP organization employees appeared to be so, er, young?

How do I cancel my AARP membership? I have been to the AARP site several times and have searched, “How do I cancel my membership,” and I get nowhere.

How can an organization that supposedly advocates for the rights of older Americans advocate for policy that advocates for their demise.

Obama Care means managing the population through aborting the young and aborting the old.

AARP is, before anything, a business. They are after money; I dislike them with a passion. I avoid them like the plague. AARP is in cahoots with insurance companies (auto, health, pharmaceuticals, etc.). They will do anything for a dollar. I am, therefore, not surprised they walked out. They do not really represent its members as they should. They are after the MONEY! Cancel your memberships— that will show them.

Call the AARP and cancel your membership and any of the services you may have with them.
The persons answering are very nice; be sure to tell them WHY you are canceling and be sure
to ask for a refund of any fees you have paid. Hit them in the pocketbook.
Maybe (and I doubt it) they’ll start listening to us old folks.

Everyone knows these people are a bunch of republican stoogies. We dont care what the republicans want anyway. Just look at what they
they have done to this country. George and his buddies started two wars, doubled the national deficit and created the greatest
financial collapse in 75 years. Repubicans should be banned from this country!!!

I am 65 and have a heart condition. I fear National Health Care because seniors
will be among the first denied services. After all, they are usually retired and
not among the working public who pay the taxes to run all of the government
operated programs that will soon be foisted upon us. If our life spans are
shortened by waiting for medical services, receiving less effective medications,
etc., we will be less of a drain on the social security system so it will be
cost effective for the government to just let us die. Both the Canadian, British,
New Zealand, and Australian systems are very ineffective in providing needed
care in a timely fashion or attracting top medical personnel. To eliminate or
control dissension, we are now being called swastika wielding, racist, angry
mobs. If, however, we are among those who approve of these socialistic
measures the government is using to absolute power over us, then we should inform
on our neighbors who don’t. Sounds even worse than the conditions in Ayn Rand’s
Atlas Shrugged, it is more like Mein Kampf.

Dave: Regarding your wart procedure … if you can prove your claim, I think your doctor was merely trying to give you the socialized-style health care you so long for.

On a side note, I have a Romanian friend who years ago told me about the horrible bribing that goes on in a nationalized health care system … money, gifts, you name it, all to get the care you desperately need. Better stock up on gift cards, Dave. You’re gonna need them to remove your other warts under Obamacare.

Keep up the protests are keep them as LOUD AS POSSIBLE- we’ll force them to listen to us!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

Marxists only wish to hear what they believe, if you don’t think the way they do then you aren’t worth listening to. AARP is a front for the Left just as acorn is, wise up folks the new Reich is upon us. Obama wants us to turn in those who don’t like his politics, just quietly call the Brown shirts and Obama will “re-educate” them.

AARP: Drop dead. I quit your smug organization. You know, you’re not really running my way of life, so we’re just gonna tell that girl to shove it, okay?

Thanks, now.

AARF oops, AARP = FAIL!

I can promise you one thing. Politicians, rich people and insiders will NOT be waiting for kidney transplants and by pass surgeries under this system. I don’t care if Nancy Pelosi is 120 years old. She’ll get a new heart the day she wants it, no matter if 20 people need to be bumped out of line. Americans deserve to be f***ing exterminated if they ever, ever allow this evil, wicked, morally bankrupt system to be put into operation. They just about deserve whatever they get NOW, after all they’ve allowed these filthy Marxist traitors to do to damage our country. We WILL NEVER recover from the last 45 years of leftism without a full scale Civil War. I find it incredible that Christians and Catholics are not marching on Washington by the MILLIONS, just at the suggestion that their tax dollars would be used for government funded abortions and euthanasia.

Don’t you see? The government will set up abortion clinics in the SCHOOLS, for crying out loud.

AARP, the international union of old folks, has sold out its membership. The “union leaders” of this sorry
outfit, are reminiscent of Jimmy Hoffa and the gangsters who manipulated their leadership position
of the the Teamsters union for their own selfish and corrupt purposes. I quit. You should too.

A side note; AARP is anti-gun, makes sense to keep the elderly vulnerable.

Attention AARP members: I called to cancel my membership and was told it was canceled. A few days later I called to see what the amount of my refund was and was told that I never canceled. I think it is canceled now, but I am still waiting for the refund.Make sure they cancel you!

AARP is a front for the Liberal Democrats that hate America, hate the U.S. Military, hate capitalism, hate reducing the size of government, hate reducing taxes, and hate “real, patriotic Americans”. DO NOT RENEW YOUR AARP MEMBERSHIP! DO NOT JOIN AARP.

On September 12th, there will be a huge rally on the National Mall in Washington DC. Be there to protest this
usurpation of our rights. Every one of you needs to be there.

” bailedon AARP when Harry Bellafonte blew his mouth off and they had him on the cover of their magazine.”

No kidding and then AARP made the POS Race Card Playing Harry “One hit wonder” their “Man of the Year”. People
were clueless even then to what a farce this Libturd organization really is. Current due paying members who have
suckered into sending their money in should request a refund today.

These people have sacrificed for this country and they just don’t want to get euthanized.

I qualified for AARP three years ago, and I will not in my lifetime give them one dollar. They do not represent me, my retirement sentiments, or personal beliefs. I am not drinking AARP, or the Obama adminstrations Kool-Aid. OPEN YOUR EYES AMERICA. You voted these idiot’s into office. Bush was miserable, but this group is worse. Pelosi is the worst of the group followed by Reid.

The first shots of the new revolution are being fired by our Seasoned Citizens….the greatest generation is again saving the day…..God bless ‘em!

Since you all are so “independent” I recommend that you buy private insurance. What’s that? You can’t FIND private insurance?
Neither can anyone else…

Actually I am over 50 and getting first rectal exam. Funny though my wife and I could not find a native American doctor to do the exam.
Instead they are from India. He was very nice an talked to me at my level. What a refreshing change.

Also at my new dentist two weeks he numbed my mouth and then went to his office and talked personal business on the phone for 40 minutes!
I got up and told him his conduct was unprofessional right in front of his staff. I asked for my records and he initially refused, until I informed him that patients are entitled to their medical records under federal law. He then made up stories and put it in my records to cover his patient neglect.

Just my first hand experience. Other people have far better stories to tell.

I miss having the AARP mail me applications with a prepaid envelope.
I always used it to send a letter explaining why I wasn’t going to join, because
I didn’t want to fund a bunch of liberal retards.

AARP – What AARP does NOT tell their members, is that they receive a large KICKBACK on ALL Financial and Insurance Products that they “endorse”. They endorse them because they are NOT the best products for the membership, but they are the best product to pay AARP huge amounts every year. NON Disclosure of this KICKBACK scheme is an outrage.

AARP was the most corrupt organization in America..Its now ACORN. I wold never Join AARP

Dear Bige for single Payer at 4:00 pm…sorry but on this one…you are in the “minority”!

Damm, its fun being the protesting side for the first time in 45 years.
History shows protest is the leading indicator of where a nation is heading. It therefore looks like Patriots will rule the 21st Century, PRAISE BE!

TO: Tired of paying…You are paying now thru all your taxes…nothing is free. I am a former Canadian and have worked in England…I’m telling you it don’t work and it’s expensive. My American health care is just great that my wife and I paid for thru the years.
Roman

That’s it for me. I was planning to join AARP but not anymore. These people from AARP were down right hateful. I want off their mailing list NOW.

Look at these Adolf Hitler types trying to stomp on our great one’s new healthcare program for the masses! What is wrong with them? AARP is a good socialist group they should love AARP not protest it. Stand in line? What’s wrong with that? A lot of worse things could happen to you than dying of cancer waiting to see a doctor. Besides the AARP is trying to make money on you, don’t you NAZI’s realize that?

Obama and Nancy should call Iran to get advice on controlling mobs.

I will be cancelling my membership.

They should know better…the senior citizens are not afraid to vote politicians out of office n(which we should ALL BE DOING NEXT TIME AROUND). They could pull their memebership in AARP just as easily.

…and I hope AARP fires that fat bottomed cow that left the meeting

Oh, and kevin, you’re an idiot.

THINK!! Senator Barbie Boxer from CALIFORNIA says that Al Gore SENT HER TO FLORIDA in 2000 and she could tell all those people weren’t really from Florida by their nice clothes…. HELLO???? Barbie can come from California.. that’s ok. But all those people who were, face it, FROM Florida, she passes judgement on their clothes. How exactly do Floridians dress? How stupid do they think we are???

Seniors

I am a middle age man that loves our senior population!! You are an inspiration! We can’t let
these interest groups, suchas AARP, be our representation in Washington! We need to come
together and become our own interest group. The 3 evils of the World has taken over our
Government, Money, Power, and Greed! Don’t Trust Washington With Your Health Care!

I never joined the AARP. It has always been a wholly owned subsidiary of the democrat party. Just check the campaign contributions list for the execs.

“A side note; AARP is anti-gun…”

In that case, I will contact them now (17 years early) and tell them do NOT EVEN TRY to contact me when I hit retirement age. Don’t even try it! Because I need home protection!

The AARP has always been a radical leftist organization. Tell them where to stuff their membership!

I used to belong to AARP but I gave up my membership long ago because of the continued liberal agenda they support and their constant desire to have the government pay for everything for seniors. I just finished a multi-e-mail conversation with them on the healthcare issue and they continually espoused the same propaganda that the government throws out even with the sentiment obviously against it. It demonstrates that they (AARP or the Democratically controlled government) do not care what their constituents want. They have an agenda and intend to do it no matter what.

The AARP doesn’t represent its members. The AMA doesn’t represent doctors. And the congress in most cases represents itself and each other. Get a clue, people. Vote for a mushroom if it has an R after its name. If Jesus Christ has a D after his name, NO. They count the R’s and the D’s and the winner RULES. Every committe is apportioned by R’s and D’s NOT whether they say they are Blue Dogs, or conservative or moderate or anything else. They count the R’s and the D’s and THAT’s IT. Learn the rules. The Dem leadership allows some to vote against the party as long as the bill passes anyway so they can keep their majority. Spector should be recalled TODAY. R and D is ALL that counts.

Did you notice when asked if he was willing to use the same healthcare as Americans, Obama smiled and said (paraphrased) “Can’t, I’m the president.” The truth is taht of course he could use the same healthcare, and for the same reason. He is the president. Whose going to tell him not to? With a stroke of his pen he could put the entire federal governemnt, all senators and congressmen, into the same system that he is prescribing for the American people. But, he “can’t.” Wonder why.

Bige for single payer wrote: “Hey old fogies,rush drugbaugh and slime hannity supporters, since your’e all millionaires, you should stop taking Socialism Security and socialist Medicare and socialist medicaid. Luckily you’ll be dead soon and we won’t have to keep paying for your lazy azzs…”

You stupid little fool! Social Security and Medicare were instituted to support the *PRODUCTIVE* CITIZENS OF AMERICA, not a bunch of lazy-a$$ed worthless FREELOADER-trash, like what your new revised “health-reform” crap seeks to cover!

It would be laughable if not so damned irritating and sickening to hear your ilk’s DOUBLESPEAK! It is the FREELOADERS not the PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS & TAXPAYERS who would benefit from the new socialistic-crap being pushed by the idiots in charge. And the PRODUCTIVE VOTERS IN AMERICA KNOW IT and WILL NOT GO FOR IT! Fool.

If you go to your state insurance website or the Medicare site you will find a list of all insurance that are licensed to sell in your state.

There is plenty of insurance for sale for Medicare suppliments and other.

Isn’t AARP really just an giant insurance conglomerate that is legally able to operate as a “Not For Profit corpooration [NFP]??? By the way, don’t be fooled – NFP’s are VERY profitable and excape taxation in this country.

If true, why would AARP the want to jeopordize their manipulated profits by siding with the members?? The members are basically the guise to keep their NFP status.

You stupid little fool! Social Security and Medicare were instituted to support the *PRODUCTIVE* CITIZENS OF AMERICA, not a bunch of lazy-a$$ed worthless FREELOADER-trash, like what your new revised “health-reform” crap seeks to cover! And for your information, Dummy, neither Social Security nor Medicare is “FREE”! We pay into it all our lives, and in our “golden” years, we are supposed to net some BENEFITS for all those PRODUCTIVE YEARS and PAYMENTS into the system! Even so, EVERYONE on Medicare still pays MONTHLY PREMIUMS, dumb-a$$!

It would be laughable if not so damned irritating and sickening to hear your ilk’s duplicitous DOUBLESPEAK! It is the FREELOADERS, not the PRODUCTIVE TAXPAYERS, who would benefit from the new socialistic-cr@p being pushed by the idiots in charge. And the PRODUCTIVE VOTERS IN AMERICA KNOW IT and WILL NOT GO FOR IT! Fool.

If all you “strange folks” are cancelling your membership, I think I will join. Thank you brave p”Patriots” for pointing me in the correct position, opposite of yours.

These old guys who took over the meeting are studs!

I began my nursing career about the time Medicare was starting. The Doctors at that time did not want to take Medicare patients, so the fees to Drs who took Medicare patients were raised. Then it became illegal to take any lower fees. IMHO, it was the very government what is trying to save us that started the upward spiral in earnest. There were Medicare representatives virtually recruiting patients to come into the hospital and use the service. Years later when the costs are soaring, they start cutting back on services and fees. Don’t think it won’t happen again.
I spent 3 years in Canada and trained in a hospital for a time there. There had been a small hospital in every community, but the government had shut them all down. There was one hospital to serve around 250,000 people. The hospital had no MRI machine to serve nearly 250,000 people. I had a friend whom they were sure had a heart attack put in a car and driven 250 miles to the nearest MRI machine. They were running ads in the paper for people to come in and help with patient care, as the government would not hire nurses. Every couple of weeks someone in the province died in the halls of the emergency rooms waiting for care. The closest neurosurgeon was 500 miles away. RNs were forced to work as nurse aides to keep from having to move to the US. Several Doctors left for the US while I was there. Rural family care physicians were making around $55,000 a year (about the same as older school teachers-not really that large a sum) and had to work 24/7 without any backup for months. They finally had to strike to get a day off every now and then. Don’t think it won’t happen here…..

Since I am turning 65 next month, I have been getting a plethora of junk mail from AARP and associates. Luckily I have Tricare from my military service, so I don’t really need anything that AARP is trying to foist on me! Their mailings always go into the shred file and now I can see where I have made a really good decision! AARP is totally political and in the tank for Obamacare, etc.

I had a renewal form waiting to sent..I wrote that I would not renew because of their support for Obamacare. “The check is in the mail”, Right! The timing for me was just perfect as I had watched an interview with one of the top AARP (bigwigs) people on cable a couple of nights ago and was appalled.
Eldeeko

This is a riot. You seniors voted this guy in. He said he was going to do what he is doing. Gov will have your checking account number ….they’ll save the transaction fee by just keeping your social security check…
Best of all they will give a 25 year old illegal alien a hip replacement and NOT the 65 year US citizen…….keep voting them in……..keep it up..

When they say AARP does not sponsor or support any legislation that is a lie, straight out. They call me on the phone and ask me to call my rep and tell them to vote for the legislation. They even provide a “press 1″ to be connected to them. If that is not support then what is?

AARP is a democrat pressure and lobby group. They are tied in to insurance companies and put their logo on certain insurance products. They do not sell insurance themselves but they do make their money from it.

This video show the same attitude from the woman as the democrat congressmen who are holding the ‘town hall’ meetings. They tell us to ’shut the heck up’ and follow instructions to vote a certain way.

DUMP AARP

Send the link for this story to everyone you know. If they don’t lose money and members they will not get the message.

AARP does not represent the best interests of seniors. They are a socialist organization, every bit as destructive to our nation as ACORN. They con seniors into giving them money, and then use it to pursue their socialist goals, not to represent their members.

If this was a real country, she would have head been smacked for being such a POWER hungry biatch at the podium. But, no, we love our women. No matter how useless they are.

My sister is a 57 year old farmer who has not had health insurance for 8 years because it got so expensive she couldn’t afford it. She and her 60 year old husband are awaiting the day they can get Medicare and just hoping nothing happens until then. They have worked hard all their lives to provide food for Americans and now Americans could care less about them. So here they are wishing their lives away.

They don’t want a hand out. They aren’t lazy. They just want to be able to BUY affordable and reliable health care. Is that TOO much to ask from you lame Conservatives? I thought you were supposed to be Christians? What a joke. I hope God gives you all what you deserve.

That big-behinded-broad looked AND ACTED more like a rep from ACORN than AARP! Hey, woman, haven’t you ever heard of RESPECT FOR YOUR ELDERS??? SHEESH!

Yeah, that private sector AARP is really out of control, pretty much like trying to get results from the out of control heath insurance companies.

When the meeting was over, the disrupters headed to the parking lot after turns at the drinking fountain washing down stool softeners. There, they mounted their electric scooter/wheelchairs, paid for by Medicare that they learned existed while listening to Beck, Hannity, and Rush.

Pretty pathetic. Were the few disrupters brought up in a barn?

Chuck, AARP is nationwide association that offers benefits to their members but when compared to real insurance side by side their plans can seem to have less benefit. They are a marketing organization that sells association based benefits that lobbys hard for the side that they think will win. My grand parents had nothing but problems with them.

I would like to thank all the “seniors” who are making a stand against the AARP bully tactics.

Your comments have been very insightful.

Things are so bad that we are almost at the point where doctors will be demanding to do a credit check on patients before seeing them.
There is no doubt they that have already thought of it.
Many demand your drivers license, though not for any medical reason, but to give to the collection agency.
There are so many forms to sign that protect the doctor, and ensure his income, that patients have no rights.
Medical treatment is secondary, as its all about payment.

many doctors don’t have time to answer focused medical questions you have though about.
As a solution doctors need to be paid a salary. This sets the dominating profit motivation aside.

The solutions are there if we are wise enough. Our suffering from doctors and Wall Street should make any American support smart change.
Until then my family is trying to save $5000 for next years medical detectable. This is the first time we had to do this. Health care is taking the life out of the economy. I work for a large corporation too. :)

AARP is pushing for universal health care that will mandate their members to accept death and have care withheld due to cost. Sounds like a stupid business move to want your clients dead. POWER to the OLD FOLKS. Good for them for not accepting the death sentance the government wants to impose on them. Shame on the Dems for trying to kill our older population. Will Chris Dodd and Teddy just opt for hospice or do they want to fight for life. Congress has exempted themselves for this death sentance.

Sorry that you couldn’t muster a reasoned point to make, “Jerry.” The best that bumpersticker thinkers like you can add to any discussion is one of the following:

“Uhhh…ABU GHRAIB!”
“Errr….JERRY FALWELL!”
“Wait…KARL ROVE!!! No…DICK CHENEY!”
“AHHH…SHRUB!”

Too bad that tactic only works in the little bubble in which you maintain yourself. Pathetic.

Q U O T E: JB August 6th, 2009 – 4:18 pm
In all these town hall meetings no one stands up and demonstrates any critical thinking whatsoever. It is a vocal morass of platitudes, emotions, and generalities that don’t bring solutions. The Republican opposition to Social Security was just as intense but there was no internet back then. They were delighted of course to get Wall Street involved in managing your social security funds. Let’s see some of the folks drop their monthly check for the good of the country. Don’t believe anything you hear and only believe half of what you see.

1935: 99 percent of Republicans in House and 63 percent in Senate try to kill Social Security by voting to send the bill back to committee.

1939: 75 percent of Republicans in Senate try to kill legislation providing Social Security benefits to dependents and survivors as well as retired workers.

1950: 79 percent of House and 89 percent vote against disability insurance to defeat it.

1956: 86 percent of Republicans in Senate oppose disability insurance; program approved nonetheless

1964: Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan both suggest that Social Security be made voluntary.

1965: 93 percent of Republicans in House and 62 percent in Senate vote to kill Medicare

1977: 58 percent of Senate vote against amendment to provide semiannual increases

1977: 88 percent of Republicans in House and 63 percent in Senate vote against increase in Social Security payroll tax needed to keep system solvent

1981: White House proposes $35 billion in Social Security cuts over the next 5 years. The cuts include the elimination of student benefits, lump-sum death benefits,and a retroactive elimination of the $122 minimum benefit for three million recipients. (Congress ultimately enacted $24 billion of the proposed

cuts.)

1981: Administration begins a wholesale review of the Social Security Disability rolls, resulting in over 560,000 eligibility investigations in 1982- 360,000 more than the year before. Ultimately, at least 106,000 families were removed from the rol1s

1981: 99 percent of Republicans in House and 98 percent in Senate vote for legislation containing $22 billion in Social Security and Medicare cuts

1981: Administration proposes three-­month delay in 1982 cost-of-1iving increases

1981: White House proposes $200 billion in Social Security cuts between 1982 and 1990. The cuts include: reduction in early retirement benefit; tightened disability eligibility standards; delay in the 1982 cost-of-living adjustment and a 10 percent eventual reduction in benefits for all new retirees. (The

U.S. Senate repudiated the President’s proposals by a vote of 96 to 0.)

1982: The President and Senate Republicans propose $40 billion in benefit cuts over three fiscal years

1985: Administration backs attempts by Republican Senate leadership to eliminate the 1986 Social Security COLA. Vice President Bush casts the tie-breaking vote to eliminate COLA. (House defeats it – never enacted).

1990’s: Efforts to end Social Security took the form of appealing to younger workers to put “their” Social Security insurance payments into the stock market.
##########################################

2010: Democrats crushed at polls 90% of them defeated.

2012: Former pres. obama sat in stunned disbelief as election results handed him a place in the dust-bin of history.

What is the name of the AARP representative who pulled the plug on the seniors?

She should be reprimanded for behaving so childishly and unprofessionally.

Her lack of skills disallowed her to successfully lead the “listening” session. Why does the AARP employ people who aren’t skilled at conducting professional meetings?

Embarrassing (for them).

The AARP officers,the ones who run the organization,are no different than Democrat politicians.
Their power,money and political influence are what drives them,not the membership.
The AARP’s huge fancyass building in D.C. is right down the street from Congress,for petes sake!
They’re all jerking each other off while decieving and defrauding the American people!

Kepi,

They even have a name for it – it’s called “Duty to Die.” It’s in Tom Daschle’s book, the blueprint for the current healthcare bill.

Go Patriots !!!

What an outstanding video production. I am sending this to my parents, who get insurance through AARP but are extremely conservative. I’ve been telling them for years that AARP was selling them down the river.

Now they have video proof.

“…Luckily I have Tricare from my military service…”

I’m glad that you have Government run healthcare. My son a junior Army officer benefited from the same Tricare after his return from Iraq in 2007. He was very satisfied.

Thank you for your service.

Did I say that I am gay too? Larse is my friend. So is WhatWhatWhat. Pink is my favorite color, especially undies.

For those saying that I should get off SS- well, I paid into the system -the US Government set the rates- for 36 years. Not that I am “ENTITLED” to that small sum each month, I WILL COLLECT IT without any regret.

Those mobs really are scarey ! It is a scarey thing to see everyone stand up & be heard. Thats what angers the Dems & Libs, that you CAN state your opinion.
My wife and I have cancelled our AARP memberships. Tomorrow we will become life members of the NRA instead. Sad our contry has come to this, but I am glad the NRA is there to protect our 2nd Ammendment right- which is under attack too from the same group of Libs and Dems that dont like you speaking your opinion.
There’s a train a comin, can you hear it?
January 19th, 2013……….Obamas last full day in office.

Nice to see that bigScotums are so popular, that you needed to hijack the name.
It’s OK with me. Scrotum is not a zero sum game.


If you need more scrotum, then more scrotum it shall be.

You all know that tea-bagging has been found to wear out the scrotum.
It’s in that spirit that I give more scrotum to you.

Enjoy, just don’t forget to come up for air. You know the little hairs can tickle and cause you to forget to come up for air.

What crowd of wackos! I love Breitbart! Too bad that they can’t run a secure board.

I’m not old enough to join AARP. That will change.

I’m not stupid enough to join AARP. That won’t change.

And did I mention I like Larse when he wears those pink undies in the shower?

These old people are no dummies! They’ve worked hard their whole lives and they KNOW ANY government plan will mean rationing and early deaths for millions of seniors.

THE POLITICAL SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AND NEEDS REFORM, NOT HEALTH CARE!!!!!!!!

“I do not believe that kind of society I describe (in 1984) necessarily will arrive, but I believe… that something resembling it could arrive. I believe also that totalitarian ideas have taken root in the minds of intellectuals everywhere”. George Orwell,1949

What J said…

I keep hearing the same thing over and over again from Obama and his lemmings ‘the majority of us…’ what majority are you referring to?
Obama couldn’t even win a majority of registered voters, he got roughly 42% while nearly 58% of registered voters either voted McCain or not at all. Nearly ever single poll done, after the release of details has been AGAINST a public option.

So – where do you Obama lemmings figure you’ve got a majority of anything supporting his actions?
You are either a) a liar, b)uninformed (read as IGNORANT of the facts, or c) completely dishonest – like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al.
You decide which you are – but regardless of which choice you make, a majority you are not!

I’m just really confused… i see the libs on this forum saying “it’s this bill or nothing.” And claiming that conservatives aren’t offering answers?!?!

Completely untrue, but the commonsense, intelligent, proven methods to reduce costs and make healtcare more available have all been shot down by the libs!

The conservatives know how to “fix” healthcare, but the libs won’t let them. This was even true in the Bush years, if you talked tort reform or various medical savings accounts, the libs threatened fillibusters.

So libs, if you were really serious about health care, and not government control of everyones lives, you would look to ideas from the right, too.

But we know that you won’t.

Oh, the Bush/conservatives screwed everything up argument doesn’t work, either, Bush was no conservative, the conservatives didn’t cause the economic meltdown (Frank, Dodd, Pelosi, Fannie/Freddie did), and liberals have fought conservative ideas (with fillibusters) on health care reform for, well, ever.

I see many of you are looking for an alternative to AARP.

There is an excellent one called 60 Plus.

They can be found at: http://www.60plus.org/

Dear Ms. Pelosi, I believe you are the person wearing the “brown shirt”. Why is it when American’s use the First Amendment to the United States Constition they are labeled as Nazi’s???? We are a Republic and not a Socialist or Communist state. American’s do not want the Government in our medical business. It failed in England, failed in France, Failed in Canada and it has failed in EVERY country in the world. If you cannot manage a used car coupon swap, or the Government pays $2.00 per pound higher than the market for Pork in the stimulus plan, or buys $300 for a $9.00 hammer, then how in the world can you manage a medical program. This does not include the serious under-evaluation of the cost. Our only watch dog says the Government has under-estimated the cost by 130%, and I would be it will be 1300%.

http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/complete-lives.pdf

EVERYONE HAS TO READ THIS! See especially pages 6 and 7.

Dr. Eugenics (a/k/a Ezekiel Emanuel, one of the three infamous Emanuel bros.; CURRENT HEALTH CARE ADVISOR TO THE PRESIDENT/ EMAIL: eemanuel@nih.gov) recommends some pretty HEADY STUFF in his ‘COMPLETE LIVES SYSTEM’ model! (Especially enjoyed the part about excluding Emergency Rooms and ICU beds…)

Hey Dr. Mengela! Who the hell are YOU to define WHICH lives are deemed “complete”????????

ALL AMERICANS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS AND REALIZE WE ARE ON THE EDGE OF A PRECIPICE…

HOLY *MACKEREL!*! (FOR ALL YE FISHERS OF MEN IN THE AUDIENCE…)

I WILL NOT BE RENEWING MY MEMBERSHIP THIS SEPTEMBER!!! THEY ARE TO THE LEFT OF PELOSI!!!

I cancelled my membership.

Boy those are some scary mobsters! Could the AARP that is gladly receiving these members money at least show some respect and listen to their concerns? Even if their comments aren’t on the AARP meeting “agenda” and even if they aren’t exactly correct on their facts, couldn’t they show a little human respect and somehow indicate to their audience that they do care what they think and they do want to hear from them? Well at least I see on previous comments someone has reported this scary group to the Whitehouse as fishy so they can be added to that long list of Americans to watch. Could you IMAGINE if the previous administration sent out an email and posted messages on facebook that encouraged fellow citizens to report people if they sound fishy?! Seriously?!

I disagree with J. The political system works, and you are seeing it in action right here. You are seeing it in
action at the tea parties and the town halls. And if politicians persist in forcing unpopular policies down our
throats, then you will see it in action again in 2010…and 2012.

Reagan proved that even the biggest sacred cows can be ended.

Political dissent has been an American tradition that predates the U.S. Constitution.

People – Don’t wait to NOT renew; cancel your AARP memberships now! The leadership has sold us out. They need to know the mistake they have made and change their position. If they don’t, you know where you stand with them. This plan is horrible for seniors…read the house bill…don’t believe the administration and AARP lies!

AARP SHOULD BE TOTALLY ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES THEY HAVE NO DECENCY, AND TO THINK THAT MANY OF THE SENIOR CITIZENS BELIEVED THE CRAP THEY HAVE BEEN PUSHING FOR YEARS ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY ARE READY TO JUMP INTO A MARXIST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT RATIONS AND DENIES HEALTHCARE BASED ON AGE, HEALTH, AND ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY. SO IF YOU ARE OLD, BAD HEALTH AND UNABLE TO WORK OR HAVE TAXES COLLECTED FROM, YOU DONT GET ANYTHING. I THINK THE CONGRESS AND ADMIN IS MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE. IT WILL COME BACK AND BITE THEM IN THE BUTT COME ELECTION TIME.

I just turned 50 and was at one time considering joining AARP. This proves that I made the right decision not to. The benefits you recieve do not make up for the damage you cause by joining them. Cancel your membership and join AAA or some other organization that will be of benefit to you, not ignore you.

America you voted for the mess you’ve gotten yourself into.
You were led like sheep by the media, an eloquent candidate with unproven solutions to “change” and now it’s too late.
I so admired this country, equal opportunity for all and hard work brought its rewards. How things have changed, we’re becoming a nanny state, surrendering our liberties to a central intrusive authority and soon, no longer in charge of our own destiny.
Brilliant Americans, so much admired by the world as staunchly independent free thinkers, how could you have been so misled?

This is exactly why I quit AARP 2 years ago. They’re nothing but a leftist, liberal mouthpiece for the dumbocraps.

They’re a front to help seniors to *vote* the right way…libtards.

from Dr. Mengele, ooops, Dr. Emanuel/Wertheimer/Persod’s COMPLETE LIVES SYSTEM…

“When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.

Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years. Treating 65-year-olds differently because of stereotypes or falsehoods would be ageist; treating them differently because they have already had more life-years is not.”

NOTE: CLEARLY THIS SYSTEM IS CALCULATED TO *FAVOR CHILD-BEARING YEARS* OF INDIVIDUALS (AGE 15-40), IN HOPES OF PRODUCING MORE LIB-T@RDS TO PERPETUATE THEIR NEW WORLD ORDER!!! LOL!

“..The conservatives know how to “fix” healthcare, but the libs won’t let them…”

Ok. So what are these ideas?

AARP = ACORN.
ReaganWater.blogspot.com

I do not think the AARP ever really represented the Seniors or their Families. This meeting just shows what happens when workers and those who have diginity dressing well are treated by the Socialist Fascists and their Brown Shirts when confronted by people who are not following the Obama Fascist Agenda.

That miserable soul represenging the aarp is the type that’ll be managing health care descisions..
can you imagine coming up to her counter at the national health care office and trying to get something answered?

my mother is 86 years old and not political. The other day she told me that it feels like we are living in a dictatorship. She called her representatives and left messages. She’s never done that before.

we do need to be involved. it IS our country. Wwe owe a debt of gratitude to all those who sacrificed to keep this country free and to the future generations of Americans.

This is incredible. I operate a Medicare Supplement Site and hundreds of people are canceling their AARP medicare supplement insurance in favor of more conservative companies. My website and company, Medicare Supplement Shop (MedicareSupplementShop.com) is happy to help you move.

We are not happy with AARP!

Sincerely,
Cris Brines

CANCEL AARP MEMBERSHIP AND QUIT VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS OR LIBERAL REPUBLICANS WHO ARE TAKING AWAY OUR LIBERTIES!

How can anyone want a Gov’t run Healthcare System when the Gov’t can not properly run the Veterans Admin Hospitals – our vererans are not treated and left to die. Is this what we want for all Americans???

I’m with CommonSense on this one. Join any arbitrary group that starts with “A”, like ACORN.

Some may consider AAAFP. (The American Amalgamated Association of Fudge Packers)

Precisely why my parents tell them to shove it when they are requested to join.

Please do not hesitate to visit my Medicare Supplement website at http://www.medicaresupplementshop.com if you would like to change your Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Insurance.

I have been pestered by the AARP since I turned 50 a year and a half ago. I was smart and knew they were a
Marxist organization and was not interested even though they give you a few perks. My politics is more important to me than saving a few bucks in a hotel stay. BTW, I told them in a phone call to remove me from their mailing list and the membership solicitations stopped by gee, they put me back on it lately. Make them go away!! And you too Mr. PINKO Danny Glover!!

AARP IS A CON JOB. DONT WAIST YOUR MONEY ON THAT CROWD. ALMOST EVERY ESTABLISHMENT WILL GIVE YOU A SENIOR DISCOUNT IF YOU ASK. LEAVE THE CON JOBS BEHIND — ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY.

I already cancelled my membership to AARP.
I did so after I discovered AARP never really
represent me or anything I stand for.

It took awhile for them to stop sending e-mails and regular mail.

Imagine their faces when all these people cancel their memberships!

“Please do not hesitate to visit my Medicare Supplement website at…”

What a opportunistic scum. Can’t make enough money on the day job?

I canceled my membership. These guys suck.

There is a conservative alternative to the far left AARP.

These people could be your grandparents and parents. These people are the people that they are calling mobs. Shame on you congress. Senior citizens take your voices back. Her job requires her listen to her consumers and and she refused to have a thick skin and listen and then carry on with her points. By the way, the aforementioned is the first lesson of communication-being a listener. This crowd was not raucous, by any means compared to other groups. Take your money back from AARP and tell your friends to do the same. For the people and by the people, the constitution points to these as being our rights. Dissenting is as American as Apple pie: The Revolution, the Civil War; the Civil Rights Movement, Port Huron, Cindy Sheehan, and the Protestant Reformation were all dissenters.

I Dropped 3 lbs of Body Fat Per Week by Obeying this 1 Ancient Rule!

AARP has been too political for me… they keep mailing me stuff but I never intend to sign up with that “union”. This video just confirms my thoughts.

I never joined AARP because of the ultra-liberal views. However, I am a member of American Seniors Association which I believe is more conservative in its point of view. If you dump your AARP membership, you might check this one out or others like Conservatives for Patient’s Rights that is advertised heavily on Fox News. I apologize if someone has already posted information like this…

I’m a shill who works for an insurance company.

I can’t wait to take advantage of some of you on this board.

Money is what I worship.

I’ll say anything you want to hear.

The Greatest Generation had to fight Nazis and Fascists – Hitler and Mussullini; now they are going to have to fight again against the new Fascists – Obama and Pelosi. They are doing and want to do everything that Hitler and Mussulini did as they implemented their socialist agenda… Maybe the old veterns should take up arms and storm the Congress and White House just like they did in 1944??

I canceled my membership in AARP years ago when they honored Harry Belafonte, a good singer but anti-American. AARP is a far-left organization and you don’t need them unless you’re far-left. As for their famed discounts, Auto Club gives the same.

I called this afternoon the AARP telephone site and they know nothing of this woman. They have heard of this and are very upset that someone who says represents AARP would act in this fashion. They are concerned and are looking into the matter. From what I understand I am not the only one who called and complained.

After 11 years as a member of AARP, I called and cancelled my membership tonight. They didn’t appear particularly concerned, but if enought people also cancel perhaps they will get the idea!

I’m part of the run amok private sector. I have such hubris, I might wind up in prison.

Money is what I worship.

I’m the kind of pathological criminal that causes the rest of you to have to finance more prisons. Suckers!

Has anyone noticed there are no solutions provided for here? 60% of bankruptcies are medically related. What does that tell you? Do you have any clue as to the effect the baby boomers will have on health care or lack of health care in the next 40 years? Do you think Gerber, Schwinn, Atari, station wagons, Nike, professional sports, the Chrysler minivan, the housing boom (that’s just been interrupted) are just blips on the radar? It’s the boomers..The pig in the python. Don’t you understand that large companies are just another form of government? Tell a bank you don’t like their fees. You’re willing to pay all kinds of money for outrageous gas prices and believe the market is working. You pay with a credit card and pay 45 cents for the convenience. Isn’t that a tax? It’s easy to cancel a membership to AARP. Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and not cash your social security check? Every time you endorse that check you might as well sign it “hypocrite”. We just endured the most disastrous, inept, and embarrassing government ever in the history of the U.S. 2 tax cuts for the wealthy, A trillion dollars of debt, dead and wounded soldiers, an economy in absolute shambles and where was George Bush the last 3 months of his presidency while the house was burning down? Wisdom is proven right by all her children.

I can’t believe you people,,,this is about millions with no Health
Coverage whilst the HMO’s make fortunes..you are all mindlessly brainwashed
into thinking its communism..its not communism, its corporate facism

What an ass … I will be cancelling my membership. See! I can be a butt too.

Awe C’mon you stinking old people brought this on yourselves and deserve this situation. All these years you’ve brought nothing but more expensive everything. And your the first to whine like crybabies at even the mere thought of payback. I think it criminal that you believe you deserve to be paid for not working 35 years just because you showed up for work for 20 years. I think it criminal that you actually believe you deserve to be paid 2, 3, 10 times, or more, than what you paid for your house for having lived in and worn out your, um, “real estate investment”.
All the good your “greatest generation” has done is overshadowed by the train wreck you have left in your wake. If you want real change try selling that big house and stuff and use it to pay for your old age. PLEASE!

AARP keeps sending me mail asking me to consider joining them as I’m approaching their membership age requirement. I keep sending it back marked “Return to Sender”. When the American Nurses Association decided to back B. Obama because he was, what they had decided, the answer to health care reform in this country, I cancelled my membership at the state and national level. When I emailed them with my decision and explained why, I got a very irritated-sounding email in response from someone at the national level who felt that I was “needing more education” on how wonderful Obama will be for health care. I replied with where I figured she could stash that “education” and that was the end of their attempts to indoctrinate me into the fold.

They are o well dressed. Is this the group Nancy Pelosi was talking about?

Get you friends and neighbors to Drop AARP….they no longer serve the people.

How can the ARPP leaders back a health bill when they do not know what is in it. There are exactly like our congress to many pages to read, but we are for national health care. Good bye ARPP!

Hi, I’m another unscrupulous salesman. I’ve come to prey on you. I need money and my day job doesn’t cut it.

I believe that as a senior citizen on Breitbart are the perfect group I can take advantage of.

Money is all I care about.

Wow, brat in diapers (such an appropro name!)…I surely can’t wait for you to get old. Karma can be a real b**ch, and I hope she finds you and levels a good one on you when you’re one of those “stinking old people”. By the way, your diaper needs changing – I can smell your stench clear across the country.

I am glad this is happening. I canceled my AARP membership several years ago and they still keep sending me renewals. I believe they sold seniors down the river years ago when Bill Clinton raised taxes in Social security benefits and AARP said nothing.
By the way their auto insurance promotion of lower rates is also a scam.
Geico and other large companies are several hundred dollars per year cheaper insurance.

I left AARP years ago because of its political bias. Questions! 1 How are the officers of AARP “elected”? During my membership period I was never offered the opportunity to vote. 2. Doesn’t AARP promote the purchase of health insurance through a major provider?

I didn’t join AARP because they are in bed with Hugo Chavez Obama. I hope all the fools that voted for this guy are having a serious case of buyers remorse. I didn’t spend over 20 years in the military to watch the Constitution shredded by a bunch of Liberals that don’t give a rip about the average American. I wonder what bennies AARP has been promised?

Don’t let Obama kill your Mother & Father, write your Congressman and say no way!

AARP has always shilled for the Democrats. Never got a red cent of this 86 year olds money. Put your faith in Jesus; politicians and Democrats are gangsters.

Those people are too well-dressed to be taken seriously.

Note to all those who want to drop membership in AARP! There is a conservative counterpart to that organization.

JB:

I’m trying to figure out how cashing a Social Security check is being a hypocrite in your eyes. For the amount of time senior citizens have been working, they’ve paid FICA taxes – just like you and I do (unless you don’t work). So if I’m paying the tax, I absolutely have a right to have the money returned to me when I come of age to claim those dollars. I’ve been working for (counting high school) almost 30 years. When I start getting my Social Security checks, you can bet your behind that I’ll cash those checks with a clear conscience. Nice strawman argument, by the way.

I resigned my AARP membership about four years ago. They are everything I am against. I found a conservative alternative to the AARP. It is “American Seniors Association” and can be found at PO Box 47650, Atlanta, GA 30362 and http://www.americanseniors.org. Don’t forget the .org.

AARP sold out on the Second Amendment (that’s when I canceled) and now they have sold out seniors in ObamaCare. Seniors KNOW this… AARP has been promised something in return for this massive sellout of seniors. But then, AARP was always just an insurance company masquerading as a service organization.

Just hung up with AARP – canceled our membership. Never did us a bit of good other than taking our money. I got tired of looking at the liberal folks they plastered on their magazine.

AARP is a manipulating, controlling Political organization. Whose members WOULD BE WISE to RESIGN their membership, and tell them (AARP) TO GO POUND SALT !
AARP GO SUCK ON NAZI PELOSI’S GUM’S

I, like my father before me, never did join AARP. It has always been like any other liberal give away program. They offer all sorts of goodies and discounts to bring in the folks who care about that stuff and then use them as AARPs foil for political gain. Unfortunately, they have always been on the liberal side of the ledger and do not represent the views of their members. They stand for the ideals and desires of the leaders, not the people they supposedly “represent”. Just like congress has been doing for years. I don’t remember the organization, but there is a more moderate alternative to AARP. Check it out!

I just mailed in my AARP card with a note indicating AARP has become a political prostitute. It needs to examine its principles. I’ve had enough.

Obamacare includes Planned Grandparenthood.
Wheel in your clunker grandparent for cash benefits for you.

Cancel your AARP membership and join Christian Seniors!

Disregard my link above.

I’ve decided that I want to sleep with a clear concience tonight.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I quit AARP when they made Castro-kissing Harry Belafonte Man of the Year. This is a front for ACORN, and so is League of Women Voters.

Well now older folks can you see what your precious AARP is really all about? Pushing any and every liberal agenda regardless of what the membership that supports them thinks.

Cancel you AARP memberships and tell them to shove it along with all their “programs” they are selling you and profitting off of.

Then join the NRA and by a gun because it is about to come time to TAKE the country back. When government no longer listens or acts in the way the PEOPLE want them to it is time for them to be removed. I don’t care if it is by vote or eventually by force the end is near for what we currently have as “Leaders” and no amount of Secret Service can save their sorry asses when they finally push the American people past our breaking point.

Let the Revolution begin and lets get on with it so we can restore this country to what it was meant to be FREE!

I should feel great: I have been a non-member of AARP for all of my senior years. But I can’t feel good, because so many good people bought (and I mean “Bought”) into their sales pitch, their multi-one size fits all promotional schemes, and now are betrayed and sold down the river. Because of AARP’s political activism, their leaders a$$-umed they would be exempt from the “unintended” consequences of “boot licking”. But, the members are smarter than they thought. Madoff investors: take note. In Middle Class people are not dumb. (sometimes naive and too trusting), but they live by the mantra: “Fool me once,shame on you” ; fool me twice, shame on me”!) Now we have our Congressional “leaders” calling us “Nazis” “a Mob” (this from people who are part of the Las Vegas, Chicago, Acorn, mob mentality). As God is my witness, I will continue to speak out, lawfully assemble and demand answers to questions about the bills before Congress. And, if I am targeted by the likes of Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Axelrod, Rahm,etc. or any other member of the Obamamob,I will be sure to send the facts to the FISH LINE, (wrapped in yesterday’s newspaper coverage of the POTUS’ news conference). I’m too old to be scared by pathetic politicians!!!

My wife and I are soon to retire from teaching. We thought about joining AARP. After seeing this – AARP CAN KISS MY %&%!
Sounds like ACORN has taken over AARP!

Remember this in the next election cycle, folks. Vote, and Vote for anyone who is not a Democrat.

If the video doesn’t load, here is a mirror that works: http://tinyurl.com/lzwx7v

AARP is a disease

Does anyone know where the full video is. I kinda want to see what kind of BS they were peddling.

PBS ran a program about 25 years ago about CPUSA. Communist Party USA. The program showed the history and activism of CPUSA. Toward the end of the program, the CPUSA representatives declared that the next place they were going to take action was with senior citizens. If you look at what AARP has stood for you’ll find that they are pushing the CPUSA agenda and they support senior citizen ONLY when it goes along with the communist revolution. I have always refused to give them my money.

Finally, MAYBE, the Americans are waking up after being lulled to sleep by the likes of Walter Cronkite!

AARP has become just like the large labor unions. While their members are older and tend to be more conservative, the organization is flaming left wing liberal. The only reason most seniors join AARP today is because they want to take advantage of some of their senior health insurance programs. If Obamanomics and Obamacare become the norm in America, as AARP is heavily promoting, there won’t be any AARP health insurance and no reason for members to pay dues to AARP. They can’t be so dumb that they don’t understand this, but they don’t care. They just want their socialist agendas for America, no matter what the cost to the people. Its time for us all to just say NO and quit AARP. They can’t force us to continue paying the dues and without our dues they can’t promote their agendas, unlike the Unions that do force people to remain as members.

If the wicked witch saw swatiskas, it was the emblems from her uniforms

just cancelled my aarp membership.will join NRA.

There is an alternative, The Christian Seniors Association.

We keep hearing “47 million Americans are without healthcare”.

Reality:

o 15 million of those are in this country illegally…not “Americans”
o 17 million can afford healthcare, but chose not to spend their money on it.

That leaves 15 million that really need help. 80% of the population must change for the 20%? Huh?

OMG! What’s next? Socialized medicine! Snitching on your neighbor? Gov’t. having access to personal bank accounts? Is this the 1930’s?

I will never belong to AARP.

Who would not walk out when the place reeks with the stench of communism? Ask yourself why the government is so bent on selling you a healthcare system that is inferior to the system we already have? Do you want your teeth to look like the british? Do you want to run to Mexico to get quality healthcare like canadians do when they travel south for treatment? Do you want bureaucrats to decide your treatment instead of doctors? Are you that stupid that you would hand over every ounce of your freedom to the likes of Barney frank and Nancy pelosi? Do you want a government that has destroyed the education system to also destroy healthcare? Wake up idiots. Everything the government promises has price attached to it, be it taxes you’ll have to pay or freedoms you’ll never regain. The more control you give them, the more they will want. This is the time to say enough.

To bad too many of proponents don’t do any research into this abomination. This is the same debate that raged over Medicare in 1963 with Wilburm Mills, Claude Peppers, and Robert Myers center ring of the three ring circus. In the end they all declared a 1% payroll tax on the first $6,600 in income would cover the cost of the program for 25 years. Still uncertain they declared that if there were shortfalls in the program they would simply adjust the income cap upwards. That really lasted a long time. For you proponents: What are those figures today?

They used a 3.5-percent annual inflation rate, with government actuaries predicting that the cost of a day’s hospital stay by 1985 would be $155 and that the hospital insurance portion of Medicare would cost a paultry $9 billion by 1990.

The actual average cost of a hospital day by 1985 was over $600; instead of $9 billion, the hospital-insurance program cost $63 billion in 1990. Today we sit on top of a $74 trillion liability that will only go up and will likely bankrupt the country. Now we are going to a national program for EVERYONE?!?!?!?!? And people believe the Tooth Fairy’s estimates?!?!?!?!?

Start with a good basic primer like Steven Hayward & Eric Peterson’s 1993 classic “The Medicare Monster.” Link is: http://www.reason.com/news/show/29339.html Then study the fiasco in Tennessee with it’s TennCare program, brought to them in 1994 by team Hillary. TennCare has set that states education program back 30 years, as every available dollar is funnelled into that program that once boasted that over 98% of all Tennesseans had medical coverage.

http://www.AmericanSeniors.org looks interesting too as a alternate to AARP, make your own judgement.

Seniors, and prospective AARP members: it didn’t take me two days of AARP membership to figure out AARP is moveon.org with a travel benefits program.

If you read the bios of the leadership, you’ll see you are part of a very left wing organization that shares Obama’s government solution/government control mentality.

When is the last time you were contacted by these people via email survey or other form to determine how you felt about the SPECIFICS of the various plans being discussed? Never.

Instead, AARP urges its membership to send form letters to Congress that are simply platitudes like “I support health care reform now!” Based on the large number of well meaning but ill informed members, AARP then claims its membership wants Obamacare.

Ditch that organization as fast as you can. There are others out there who represent Seniors, and some even have travel benefits.

The thing these conservative buffoons are afraid of is a plan thet might succeed and show their entrenched idiocy for what it is: Hereditary ignorance.

I have reported you all to flag@whitehouse.gov

What you are saying here is double-plus un-good.

I have read though alot of these posts and I have to say I am PROUD to be an American right now. The sleep beast that is our society of whites, blacks, browns, Christians, Muslims, Jews, male, female, young and old is starting to wake up. It’s not that Obama is black or even a Democrat that is scaring people. What is scaring people into waking up is the BLATANT disregard for the Constitution and power grapping that is going on. The Bush bail out was a bad mistake and failed. Obama’s bail out was an even bigger mistake and isn’t even coming coming close to what was promised. It doesn’t take a genius to see that letting the companies fail and letting the economy take the hit then adjust for it. To see that its better to analize what failed while the markets adjust then put BETTER regulations in place that are actually ENFORCED. To see that raising taxes during an economic slow down instead of cutting them doesn’t promote recovery. To see that the preview of things to come is acually now happening in California with Liberism run amuck. No it doesn’t take a genius to see this it just takes open eyes. AND AMERICAN EYES ARE OPENING.

PS Please report me to the Brownshirts. Have a BLESSED Day

I just turned 50 and have been getting AARP propaganda for a few months. Also solicitations from the NY Times. Everytime I get these mailings, I drop them in the mail with thier prepaid envelope empty. Postage to be paid by the addressee ..ie. AARP and the NYT. I hope that rather than just trashing the mailing the baby boomer generation decides to hit them where it hurts. The bank account.
Drop thier prepaid envelope in the mail empty. Maybe they will get the message.

DCitalian tells us:
“The crowd was very rude…don’t hijack a Town Hall meeting, point your fingers at an organization that fights everyday for your interests.
“What we have here is 80% of the population that does have healthcare saying, “I don’t give a rat’s a** about people who don’t have healthcare. Go f yourselves.”

-I didn’t hear anyone saying that. Nancy, did you hear anyone using such foul language? Pelosi says she did. Pelosi also saw swastiksas – and the people smelled of astroturf.

AARP also supported Hillary’s disasterous attempt at socialist health care back in 1993. I vowed to never join that leftist organization when I became eligible and I have not. It is run by far left loons who are using the money to advance the agenda of the radical left.

Been receiving AARP membership invitations since I was 49, still didn’t join now that I’m 50 because they seemed left-leaning. My suspicion is now confirmed and I will NEVER join this socialist organization.

Well… honestly I can’t wait until Obamacare is passed. I’m so sick of Blue Cross.

JB Aug – 6 – 6:38
You conveniently “forgot” to point out that the reason Social Security (a PRIVATELY funded retirement plan ) ran into trouble was because DEMOCRAT Johnson, STOLE the trust fund money to finance his “Great Society”. Jimmy Hoffa went to prison for doing that to the teamsters pension fund.

Did anyone notice the AARP reps using the Obama talking points? “Insurance companies are making 80 million in profits” …Sorry BO, that ain’t gonna work anymore, I’d rather an insurance company make profits keeping me alive than the government lose money telling me when to die!

AARP has never truly been for seniors but made millions of dollars for it’s founder. It has never stood up for seniors. It has always advocated my government largesse that means more taxes. I suggest the members cancel their memberships in protest! Whenever I get a temporary card and request for membership in the mail, I return it to AARP using their postage paid envelope. I suggest more do the same. BTW, I am 70 yrs young and have managed quite well without AARP!

I actually have tears in my eyes. We are the generation of people who worked and slaved and paid into these broken systems. “They” used our money to fuel their socialist agenda and buy voters and never once wanted to do anything other then continue down the nanny state road. I cancelled my membership when it was clear they were backing Obummunist. Those of you waiting on a refund, don’t hold your breath, they never sent mine. The two obots with your liberal talking points, STFU. I noticed that some of you have a parent(s) like mine, 81 and in disbelief that there is actually someone worse then FDR and Jimmy Carter put together. The most eye opening issue (after this) is finding out that the schools are teaching lies to our children. They have no clue what Nazi really means or who Hitler really was. This is truly scary.

I ain’t union now and surely won’t become one after I retire! Why would a retired person join a union? I am a member of the nations smallest minority and have always done OK on my own as long as the government stays out of my way.

I am an I-N-D-I-V-I-D-U-L-E American Citizen.

And if you haven’t figured it out yet by the name I really am quite gay. I only come here because DailyKos and DemocraticUnderground are down right now and I can’t find anyone else to dump on since my lover man won’t talk to me anymore.

For anyone interested in an alternative to AARP check out ASA – Americans Seniors Association at ASA at http://www.americanseniors.org. It claims to be a CONSERVATIVE ALTERNATIVE TO AARP. Don’t take my word for it, check it out yourselves.

Gondren…another brown shirt. All you need is a whistle…”JUDEN JUDEN”.

read the aarp disclosure page its states that they AARP DOES NOT MAKE HEALTHCARE RECOMMENDATIONS TO INDIVIDUALS YOU ARE STRONGLEY ENCOURAGED TO EVALUATE YOUR NEEDS BEFORE MAKING DECISIONS THAT IMPACT YOUR HEALTH AND MEDICAL NEEDS WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING ENDORSING THE OBAMA HEALTHCARE PLAN????????? CONCERNED

What a well-fed chunk this AARP rep is. Why Shouldn’t the audience speak up when the gal misspeaks for them?

This is a perfect example of how people are beginning to voice their frustrations about the government in general. Both sides of the proverbial aisle always try to downplay opposition to whatever hairbrained legislative scheme they’ve cooked up; the most recent being Pelosi and Boxer making the assertion that any opposition to their plans for healthcare are nothing more than paid protesters from the Republican party or the corporate world.

It will be clear to those who watch this video however, that Pelosi and Boxer’s assertions are hot air at best. Our Founding Fathers would be proud of these Patriots who are finally standing up and saying “This far shall you come, but no farther.” Eventually, the citizens of this country will have to stand up against any overstep of the gov’t – from either Democrats or Republicans. For any meaningful change can come from the Citizens, and only the Citizens.

It’s a right wing conspiracy!!! Lol. These people kick ass. Clearly aarp has been bought and paid for by Obama.

Dennis – what makes you think these articulate people are misled? I take them at their word; they’ve been around long enough to know what they are talking about. This video makes me proud to be an American. The older population has been seriously underestimated by the Obama administration and I for one am going to enjoy watching this fight.

“pushy MOB???? …Rodger is that the way you view an emotional protest more than 200 years ago called the “Boston Tea Party”…

I have a question.

If a liberal group disrupts a town hall when a Republican is speaking its called free speech.

If a any group speeks out against the current administration its called mob rule.

Now I know I am just some bitter American clngings to my guns and religion but I also know how I was raised.

So the questions here is ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????

Please put the crack pipe down, put the lids back on the pill bottles, unless its time for your meds if so please take them and get a clue. Rights do not apply to some more than others. You cannot have it both ways. Anyone and EVERONE has the RIGHT to disagree with this plan. Last time I checked most Americans want healthcare reform NOT goverment take over of healthcare. There in lays the real debate.

I cancelled AARP after they blindly supported Hillarycare many years ago; they presumed to speak for me. They do Not!

AARP is an insurance company. They pretend to not be an insurance company. They are a fraud. Just like Obama is a fraud. Obama is a Joker and the joke is on us.

I am thankful that our senior citizens are waking up to the dangers inherent in any form of government mandated healthcare – for THEM. These people are articulate, well-educated, and probably generally pretty quiet folk. They have enough experience to know what’s going on. They must be very dangerous to those trying to push this healthcare “reform” down our throats. That is why they are resorting to ad hominem attacks – attacking their person, rather than their arguments.

I don’t know much about AARP but from what I’ve read and looked up after watching this and read some comments. Wouldn’t AARP actually stand to lose money from a national health care plan??? I know they’re a Non-Profit but most of it’s income for advocating comes from endorsing healt insurance companies and that they’ve actually been in heat for endorsing past bills due to a conflict of interest where they’d gain from some of the medicare legislation. How do they benefit from Obama’s plan????

Due to the ongoing INVASION of our Nation, the following AMERICAN CITIZENS, no longer need access our Health Care System.

http://www.ojjpac.org/memorial.asp

http://www.voiac.org

On the phone now to cancel my membership.

AARP is SO BOUGHT. They are completely in bed with Pelosi, Reid and Obama. Who can you trust in Washington anymore????

[you said]
Gondren…another brown shirt. All you need is a whistle…”JUDEN JUDEN”.

I thought that was the joke. The email address is your whistle.

OBAMA AND PELOSI are trying to destroy our country. WAKE TFU. This health care bill is nothing more than a virus to infect and destroy our healthcare system. To give 50 million illegals the same heath care as americans means WE WILL SUFFER, OUR CHILDREN WILL SUFFER AND OUR ELDERLY PARENTS WILL DIE FROM GOVERMENT NEGLECT. WE donot have the doctors or facilities to cover all the illegals and welfare poor with the same care hardworking americans should have.

I love these people…

The AARP has become nothing more than another lobbiest group that has sided with this corrupt and inept administration along with such radical groups as Acorn, Code Pink and the unions. They are bought, part and parcel by the administration to push its agenda without concern for its members. Its only real concern is our member fees. Since when do we work for the government and AARP. It should be the other way around. I’m also going to cancel my membership. P.S. They said that they are not endorsing the health plan, yet they ask all of us to. WHAT BULL.

AARP really flashed its ass. I am in total agreement with the consensus expressed here. Unfortunately, I think the dems in Congress will force this down our collective throat.

The cat’s out of the bag…. The professional staff with AARP is a group of socialists!

It is impossible to cancel your membership. I have not paid dues for ten years, and they still carry me as a member. They need the NUMBERS for their lobbying effort. Your name is on the books forever….just do not send money….

We’ve cancelled our membership. It never was worth much anyway.

I was so disillusioned with Americans last November 5th when the Messiah-In-Cheif was elected. Reading these comments has restored my faith in America and it’s senior citizens. We are the silent majority in this country and we need to tell our friends and families that “this is not your father’s Democratic Party anymore.” Please don’t waste your vote with isolationist Libertarians either. We need to take back the Republican Party from the McCains and Specters who are more interested in retaining their Congressional Healthcare than representing their constituents. BTW, Breitbart needs to monitor these comments and restrict peurile and foul name-callers like c_a_bigscrotum.

They should fire that rude FAT ASS that took the microphone.
She can’t handle the truth!!!

Cancelled membership in this organization when I finally realized all you receive for your money is a poor magazine and lobbiests who suck up to democrats. AARP is not for Senior Citizens, its against them.

I have never felt like AARP was doing anything useful for seniors.As far as I can tell, they’re in the insurance business and using your dollars to send solicitons. I have been once and left because they were using my money for political purposes I didn’t agree with. I rejoined after some years and my subscription has just expired. They will never be able to count me on their rolls again.

AARP is nothing more than a money grabbing outfit to support the high living
lifestyle of the so called leadership. They don’t have any interest in helping
seniors, just want all the money they can get for another steak dinner with
some lib rep or senator. Glad I quit them 20 yrs ago.

I will never join AARP. I have received solicitations for years. I have known for years that AARP is loaded with liberal freaks. May they all burn in hell. The organization is a fraud. They are the scum of the earth. Destroy your membership cards. Stop supporting the fraud that is AARP. Don’t be fooled by these crooks. They will never get a dime of my money. Stand up and fight the lies. AARP is for fools.

Oh My Goodness….They put down the military, and then call police stupid, send out the message to turn in their neighbors for not agreeing with them, call concerned citizens a “well dressed” mob and then throw the eldest of our American Patriots under the bus…All they have to do next is kick a few dogs and they have pretty much upset the entire nation….Unbelievable!!!

I’m sending all of your names to flag at whithouse.gov ;)

AARP is all about killing their insurance competitors and then the gubmint can put them in charge of a sector – kind of like union dues where you have no say in where the money goes. Haven’t given to AARP in a long time – they have always been way too political!!

http://www.aarphealthcare.com/common/disclosure.aspx

After watching this video clip I am cancelling my membership immediately. AARP is clearly demonstrating they are more interested in pushing forward their agenda (and the governments) than they are about listening and addressing the concerns of their paying members.

It’s about time our government and in this case the AARP understand they work for us not the other away around. I’m done with the AARP.

We need to take back our government.

a bunch of miserable old farts that have helped take our country to the point it is today & they still want a voice on how it’s going to effect younger generations!?? I think not! they already made a huge mess out it…time for them step aside & let others have their hand at it. complain, complain, complain…where have they been during the last 20+ years? oh – that’s right…there wasn’t a black president then – only mostly warmongers.

we need change – not the same crap, another day. medical rates & insurance rates are at an all time high because they’re raping us & charging what they can. There’s no real accountability & regulation to keep them in check…they’re all about maximum profits…not healthcare. A gov’t program will help balance this disparity. I wonder how many of these loudmounths yelling at these meetings have actually read the bill…you know, the thing they’re criticizing others their reps. for (which btw – our reps. have staffers…the staffers read it & are to bring attn. to matters).

This video made my day! God Bless these people for standing up and speaking out!

Praise the Lord! The sleeping Giant has awoke! Stand up to these LYING POS’s. REID, POLESI, FRANK, OBAMA-The-HUT, DODD, MURTHA, ROSS, vote them all out of office! Let’s send them a message they CAN understand! We are sick of the lies! LIES, LIES, LIES!!! They come right out and LIE in your face! The gall of these people! They work for US, they do what WE say, not the other way around! It’ll be a cold day in He11 before they socialize my country! NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GREAT MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! THEY MUST BE STOPPED!

FROM THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE – READ IT! — IT IS OUR DUTY! The people have spoken!

- Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Well I begain a new 5 year membership 4/15/09.

Bige for Single Payer–
You are a prime example of the mis-informed ignorant people who support Obama and this administration. You can’t opt out of Medicare. You pay for it all your life and I don’t mean your working life. When you have retired the goverment takes more money out of your Social Security to pay for Part B which is the part of Medicare for doctors visits. Get this, my Medicare premiums cost more than the insurance I get through my employer and it does not have all the restrictions that Medicare has.

I quit AARP today. I hope a million people do. Think if the impact that would have.

Cancel today!

I canceled my AARP membership after watching this. AARP was more than happy to accept my cancellation and refund my membership fee. I told them about this video and that their health care reform website information page was one-sided and explicitly supported the so-called “public option” without any critical analysis of the potential drawbacks. AARP’s leadership, I’m afraid, believes its membership to be mostly liberal and either senile or stupid.

I was more insulted about the way that the “organizer” treated our seniors and veterans…like children. It was despicable. The Orwellian bureaucrats will think they know what’s best for you if this legislation passes. And how in the world can this person say “that the AARP does not endorse this legislation” when they said in the beginning of the meeting that they “advocate” it!

I always give money to AARP when they send me a membership application. I dump in about 50 pennies, some old washers and bolts and send it back to them! For the lurkers out there who have to bash seniors instead of offering something of value, I think your mother just called and said you can come out of the basement for dinner!

We cancelled our membership tonight after seeing how condescending those AARP reps were to the people in Dallas!
I am OUTRAGED that an AARP employee would unplug a microphone on a US Marine!!!!

“Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.”
Just ask the pharmaceutical cartels and the health insurance companies!!
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF CORPORATIONS OR “THE GOVERNMENT” IS PICKING YOUR POCKET? WAKE UP, YOU MORONS!!!!

SINGLE PAYER NOW! LET’S JOIN THE CIVILIZED WORLD!

I’m guessing it would surprise few to learn that AARP’s CEO, A. Barry Rand, maxed out for Obama in 2008, giving $4,600 to the president’s campaign committee and $4,300 to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint production of the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.(from “Obamacare could kill AARP” by Mark Tapscott, staff writer at the San Francisco Examiner, July 29th.) Tapscott also wrote, “AARP’s leadership has outsmarted itself by going all out to aid President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in their drive to nationalize America’s health care system.”

And I’m supposed to trust that Barry Rand and his executive cohorts at AARP have my 67 year old back?

I’m not happy to see this having happened, but it does not surprise me. I’ve
long had suspicions about the AARP, and this confirms it. Either from their
beginning, or at some point having been infiltrated, it does appear to be run
by people with a left-wing leaning agenda, and using their membership dues to
push such agendas. An infiltration scenario does not surprise me either.
The universities and colleges, the public school systems, the state and local
governments, including local controlling bureaucracies such as building permit
departments, etc.etc — Have all been fully infiltrated and staffed with left
wingers. What is going on now, has in my opinion, been planned out and worked
on starting many years ago. These people are intelligent, very good actors,
and have wanted to change our country to their socialist state –
For a very long time. But they have had to be very coy, manipulative, and
intricate in their making it happen. Our constitution has presented a very
difficult thing to overcome. But they slowly have successfully used the system,
they have successfully gotten votes for themselves in part by sucking people into
government subsidies, and from the wealthier, corporations, on down to the poor.
All votes for them, once those who have been sold on or promised a bill of goods
start receiving the subsidy money.
Remember what Nikita Khrushchev said openly to us in the 60’s? “We will crush
you from within”.
Like many of you, I have worked hard all my life. I have never received a dime
for free. I put myself through college. I worked my entire life till now, age
59, in my own small businesses. I played by all the rules, I was responsible,
I never cheated or lied, and I treated people with respect and consideration. My
end result comes from learning to late that the system, as it has been
engineered, was something entirely different than what I had been told. It is
set up to work against anyone like myself, trying to make a living in a small
business, regardless of how diligent one is and how good one is in what you do
in your business. So now, after all the work, all the ‘never quit’ stamina, and
all the sacrifices over my life to “hang in there”, I am yet again facing having
little, and with little hope at this point to make anything better. This economy
and this housing market has stripped my wife and I of most all of what we have.
Unlike others, we have no retirement funds waiting for us, excepting
‘So-so security’. I drive a 30 year old truck, which after all my years taking
care of it, is on it’s last legs and rusting into the ground. And..it is my work
truck, which when I have work (heh) in my remodeling business, helps put the food
on the table. We watch a 19″ crt tv. We do not have a stereo. We go on no
vacations, or any such ‘extras’ in life. We live in a 900 sq. foot house, better
called a cabin, and where we just do what we can to make do. Only extra we do
have is an internet connection, which is integral to trying to do my business,
and sell our old home. This is not whining or feeling sorry for myself. It is
just fact, and I know there are many others in the same boat or worse.
I see hidden agendas, but also greed and corruption from government, federal
down to local. But I ALSO see greed and major self-centeredness in my own
neighborhood and local region, from ‘regular folks’, and with people on all
levels of the economic scale.
I am very disappointed, disgusted, and about to say ‘I quit’. But maybe not,
since I have joined so many others in writing this comment. And I will still
vote. But while I can be stripped of much, lied too, etc – I will NOT allow
my own mind to also become ‘owned’ by these sorts of people. They cannot have
that. As for health insurance? I can only afford private major medical. No
dental, no vision. And keeping even that is uncertain. While I do not agree
in having the government take over health care, I do believe there is huge
damaging greed in the current health care system, and insurance industry.
And these people have been sucking so much away from people for many years.
Maybe it’s time all of us stood up, and for real. You know?.. The real
‘Sleeping Giant’.
God Bless Our Country, and all freedom/constitution loving Americans.

This was phropesied in the Bible.

Verily, I say, in those days, Moe came to be upon the land. And, Lo, Moe begat Larry. And verily, I say, Larry did begat Curly. For in those days, many were born unto he. And, verily and Lo, Curly begat Moe Howard and unto him many blessings were born and of he and his servants. In those days, it came to pass Moe, the brother of which is Larry and Curly did have a covenant with the Lord, thee and their many servants. But Lo and verily, Moe heedeth not the words of the Lord and Moe smiteth his brother Larry upon his crown. Lo, verily, Larry was offendeth mightily and Larry did he smite his own bretheren on the crown. In those days, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Curly kneweth not his brother Moe and spaketh against he. The Lord above was sorely vexed. Yea, Curly was cursed by the Lord and kneweth not of his brother Moe. He kneweth not of his brother Curly, nor of his brother Larry. Yea, Curly did smiteth both brothers with the jawbone of an ass. Many vexations rose to heaven above. The Lord rebuked the brothers for sins in those days. Curly did curse the land and he did smiteth the brothers of his own flesh. Smiteth he and rebuketh them and lo, verily, they curseth mightily of he.

How arrogant to hold a meeting with your members and not listen to what they have to say. AARP isn’t there to tell seniors what to think, they are there to represent seniors and this heath care bill is anything but good for seniors. These people aren’t mobs. They remind me of my parents and grandparents. They’re average, law-abiding, tax-paying citizens who want to be heard on this issue.

The AARP’s treatment of its own members, and the Democrats absolute disdain for CITIZENS, makes my stomach turn. The radicals have taken over, are out of touch with most of us, and care nothing for this country other than securing their own power.

Since when is it ok for a politician to label a private citizen as a “nazi”? This is disgusting.

Now is the time to cancel that membership. You have no excuse.

All of this was foretold in the Bible:
Verily, I say, in those days, Moe came to be upon the land. And, Lo, Moe begat Larry. And verily, I say, Larry did begat Curly. For in those days, many were born unto he. And, verily and Lo, Curly begat Moe Howard and unto him many blessings were born and of he and his servants.

PLEASE SENIORS I BEG OF YOU!! GET YOUR MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT ELSEWHERE!!

How dare that orchestrated(Reid) mob of swastika carriers(Pelosi)interrupt that poor woman that was trying to explain what is best for them!?!

She came all the way there with her microphone cord and folder and those maniacs wouldn’t stop asking their darn questions.

Clearly all delusional retirees. Quickly Keith Blubberman get to your keyboard and type some witty blathering for the 4 people that watch MSNBC and then to emphasize your point and to be hip and snarky you can toss your papers at the camera.

Ahhhhh that will show those fringe rightwingers.

I AM A 61 YO RETIRED CITIZEN. I HAVE ONLY ONE THING TO SAY AND ALL SHOULD TAKE HEED. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF THEIR GOVERNMENT —- GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE AFRAID OF THEIR PEOPLE. WE AS CITIZENS OF THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD MOST STAND AND MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD VOTE VOTE VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR KINGDOM.

AARP is just another democrat PAC and has increased it’s donations solely to the democrat party gradually over the years for fear of being found out. I found out and I am NOT a member of AARP and will not ever be part of that organization or any organization who supports just one party. The unions do that and look what the administration is doing for them. In 1999 an official in the Florida AARP heiracy introduced Al Gore as the next president of the united states and he did this openly and dared the old folk to chanllenge him on it. They didn’t but thankfully Gore lost because of his stance on guns. What was ironic about this man’s upport is that Gore is the one who cast the tie breaking vote to tax social security. A real help to members of AARP wasn’t he.

Don’t believe the hype, Seniors. The insurance vampires want their blood money. Tell them to go to Hell.

HAVE ALL OF THE OFFICIALS/SPOKES PERSONS AT AARP READ THE HEALTHCARE BILL?????? IF SO, THEY ARE WAY AHEAD OF OUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES………………WHO HAVE NOT/BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION, READ THE BILL, LET ALONE UNDERSTAND IT. AND WE, THE TAX PAYING PUBLIC ARE SUPPOSE TO LET THESE ‘LOONS’ DECIDE OUR HEALTH CARE??????? I THINK NOT!!!

Why would anyone listen to a woman with huge hips lecture them about healthcare?

Why would anyone join AARP. I turned fifty this year. I have received much junk mail asking me join AARP.

I will never join. I’d rather by a six-pack with 10 bucks a year.

Bravo to the folks at this meeting! You can see so clearly the paternalistic attitude of AARP, and this woman at the microphone, who takes her microphone when she leaves, just like a little boy takes his football home when his friends “disobey” him.

I am a young guy, but watching this video, and the others where people of all parties are rising up against the wannabe one world government tyranny, I think it’s the old folks who need to teach the young TV-watching idiots a lesson on how not to be a conformist serf! Way to go folks! Obviously, AARP is a sell-out organization, who has no concern other than paternalistically and condescendingly spoon-feeding some government horsesh*t to old folks, because AARP thinks they can get over on them.

Patrick, you would rather seniors had absolutely no political power? Your blind hatred of the AARP is bizarre. The health insurance companies are spending billions to demonize universal health care. Are you on their payroll?

Is the mob? Dressed to nice, no saging pants, no butts hanging out, no bust popping out. No profanity? No physical attack, no pies thrown ( I think these ladies know how to bake a pie too)
Dropped AARP when they supported all the tax increases in Calf during our past election.
They are dedicated to the DNC not what is good and right for members.
I honestly think the leaders in this group are there just to pocket large sums of money, and support the DNC with massive donations and voting blocks.

If I we’re a member of the AARP, I’d hand that FAT A$$ bit(h my cancelled membership.

When petitioned to sign the Health Reform, congressional members on the finance reform committe refused to pass the bill through the senate. Do see the refusal on the home page. The refusal is the hypocrisy that has me steaming. If you continue to think that congress does not feel that they are aristocrats, watch and comment on the clip on the home page: dems refuse to sign amendment.

Well, by the end of next week AARP should be closing its door …. correct or are they going to need a bailout, also!

Are you telling me that that worthless piece of drek walked out on the meeting because she did not like what was being said. And they want me to join them….Bite me

We left AARP years ago when it became evident they were using our money for causes/candidates we did not approve of. They have totally sold out to the liberal lies!!

Seniors beware: Obamacare = Soylent Green.

AARP has been a supporter of the democratic left for YEARS! How could people not have seen that? At least your eyes are finally being opened. Continue to FIGHT!

@Don – you made a good point I didn’t consider before. Senior citizens already receive government healthcare and will not, as a class, contribute any of the taxes related to the healthcare spending so where do they come off being in such strong oppossition? They do come across as hypocrites, because in essence they are saying ‘please dont expand government coverage that we benefit from to the class of people who will actually be paying for it with their taxes’.

Seniors,

Thanks for voting for us liberals. All we have done in the past 25 years is to scare you into believing that the Conservatives were going to eliminate Medicare and Social Security. The real laugh is that our new Marxist,Socialist,Power Grabbing POTUS will do all of that to you and you won’t be able to stop it.

I wonder what would happen if a few 1000 marched on DC without a permit to protest this health care mess? Would they be cut down in the streets like in Iran and called a mob?

Unbelievable, you Republicans are beyond belief in your extraordinary efforts to prevent the poor, uninsured and the elderly from having decent health coverage. You have the outrageous gall to demonize the AARP in just one day for dubious reasons, after the many decades of work they have done on behalf of the retired. Get your filthy hands of our nations retired people, and get the heck out of Dodge. Don’t come around these parts, no more.

The Dems are trying to give themselves reasons not to listen to us. The Tea Parties, the Concerned Citizens, and those that just don’t like this option are speaking out and because the Dems feel intimidated they make excuses and close their ears. This is why we are not getting things done. The videos of people shouting happen only after much is already said. The yelling is always a last resort. Even Obama told his supporters to get in people’s faces and yell and argue with them. I keep watching clips of these Town Hall meetings on http://www.AmericanParchment.com and am surprised that the Dems are so stupid as to go national trying to defame those that are angry about this new bill.

Why are some people presenting healthcare as a false choice between insurance companies and the government? The speaker who said that his politics don’t matter — before going into a diatribe about those evil things called profits — clearly presented it as such. The president presents it as such.

Why not choose “None of the Above”? I don’t have any love for insurance companies. But I don’t have any more love for the federal government — which is an out-of-control mess that can’t respond to floods and can’t even manage a used car trade-in program.

People need to be put back in charge of their healthcare spending, as much as possible. The chief reason healthcare is so expensive now is because people have no incentive to be frugal. Don’t tell me I have to choose between Blue Cross or Uncle Sam.

I’ll choose myself. And you should too.

“We don’t need to be involved in the string arguments and the horrible things that happen to people. And I have some of those same stories but…this is about freedom…” Huh?

Wow, that says a lot.

What a load of crap you Republicans are going to be cursed for what you’re trying to do to this country.

I like the way they glazed over the $80,000,000,000 profit from the insurance companies. Wow.

TO DASTUPIDVOTE REGISTERED DEMOCRAT IDIOThttp://www.aarphealthcare.com/common/disclosure.aspx

All of you who now disavow AARP and cancel membership should have known better than to join in the first place. I didn’t join — their socialist/elitist/marxist political stances have been obvious for some time. But better late than never: some people have to be hit with a board. Americans will do the right thing … eventually! I love ‘ya anyway; your hearts are in the right place, but your thinking is a little slow.

AARP – acronym for Anti-American Revolting People (the people who run it, not most of the unsuspecting members).

That woman running the meeting was a classic, fact denying liberal who can’t stand any opposition. Probably a “teacher”.

Make sure all your older family members and friends DON’T join this terrible organization.

England is in ruins, Canada is in ruins, Japan is in ruins, Germany is in ruins, France is in ruins, Spain is in ruins, Brazil is in ruins, Panama is in ruins, India is in ruins, China is in ruins, and America is doing just fine.

I canceled my membership during the last Administration, when AARP hosted Harry Belefonte who loathes this country and makes his views known. AARP loved him anyway. I wrote AARP, and sang “daylight come and me want to cancel my membership”!

Forget AARP. Join the NRA!

AARP = obama bootlick

Give back your Medicaid & Medicare. No Social Security for any of you. We will eliminate all traces socialism in the U.S. today.

More proof that Americans are Dumb.

HA HA HA HA HA HA

http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?storyid=107690

ASA is gonna benefit from this BIG time.

“There’s a sucker born every day”.

Why in Hell could you people not see the wacko and left wing agenda of such a hidiously corrupt group as this aarp is.

This organization wll make some Obama type of an apology very soon in an attempt to avert cancellations, but this organizationa will fail.

I can’t believe the ARROGANCE of these people.

If you think they’re bad now, wait until they sell you out to Obamacare and hold your life in their hands.

We cancelled AARP Aug 6 because of their HealthScare endorsement. Member over 5 years. The lady that I spoke with said that she was required to ask why I wanted to cancel my membership. She said she knew but was required to ask. I ask her way she thought I wanted to cancel and she said because of the you-tube video, she had two hours to go on her shift and was overwhelmed by cancellation requests today.

Tavi, two things.

1) Part of the reform is trying to realize hundreds of billions of dollars in savings in Medicare. If you read Sen. Kennedy’s column in Newsweek from a few weeks ago, he explains how — by cutting out services that are currently covered by Medicare. Or look at the President’s comment during the ABC special…when he said that some aging patients shouldn’t get pacemakers, but painkillers.

2) The other thing to keep in mind is that Medicare (as well as Medicaid) is going bust. I would think that seniors and everybody else would look at that and think that the last thing we should be doing is taking the failed model and extending it through other sectors of our population.

I gather these two things are behind a lot of the trepidation that seniors have. Personally, I think point number one is pretty politically gutsy of President Obama. The costs of eldercare have long been a source of a lot of the healthcare inflation. And with the Baby Boomers aging, it stands to get even worse.

But, politically, it’s tricky (but gutsy) to tell senior citizens that we’re spending too much on them and need to cut out services they’re presently receiving. That’s a big reason public funding of healthcare in general has long been a bad idea…it doesn’t mix well with politicians who need votes.

Hey Folks – Wake Up! The AARP has been a left leaning liberal organization for years. For them to support this horrible health care bill is an abomination. This bill is going to siphon off about 300 billion dollars from Medicare. How can the level of care remain the same for seniors? What happens when the government run healthcare starts running short of money – you get healthcare rationing! Who gets rationed first – people over 55!

Hey Progressives: You have awakened a sleeping giant. We are now your worst nightmare! We have learned all of our tactics from you on the left. We will not be quiet any longer. We will not sit on our behinds any longer. We are now proactive and we won’t allow this government to take away from us the America we so love.

Greg W
De Pere, WI

The folks in that meeting are Great Americans. This government of the wealthy, political elete are going to face a political giant! The American People!

We do not exist to serve government. Government exists to serve us.

I’ve carried you oldsters my entire life, with medicare & socialist friggin’ security…if you love the private sector insurance companies so much, I will do everything I can to see your medicare eliminated!

Then lets see if your precious private sector will insure your pill-popping, arthritic, artificial-kneed, diabetic, overweight, high-blood-pressured butts!

I’m 50 years old and can’t get insurance…but you people seem to think you’re so special that I should pay for yours!…you’re not Americans, you’re leeches.

Where is the social justice for those of us who are tired of pulling the wagon full of NO LIABILITY VOTERS. Many of us have been pulling this wagon for 30-40 years. We have seen no improvement from the great society legislation of the 60’s and now the left just wants to add more social spending. Washington is punch drunk with power and we need to drop kick all of these people out of Washington in 2010.

Greg W
De Pere, WI

You all are now watching the death of the old AARP…like the NAACP… they are losing the real people.

Chris said: “Give back your Medicaid & Medicare. No Social Security for any of you. We will eliminate all traces socialism in the U.S. today.”
*******************

As somebody who is in his 30’s, I would gladly and quickly opt out of both Medicare and Social Security if I was given that chance. Between the two of them, they cost me 15.3% of my income. If you let me save 15.3% of my income over a 45 year working career, I flat guarantee that I could provide a far better retirement income for myself and a far better health insurance package than what these two dinosaurs offer — plus I’d be able to leave a nice lump sum behind to my heirs.

If somebody averages a $50K income over their work career, socking away 15.3% of their income (or $7650 per year), for 45 years with an average annual return of just 6% will yield an account worth about $1.7 million. With that amount of money, somebody could *easily* replace their $50K income, buy a terrific health insurance policy for the rest of their lives, and have a nice chunk of change to leave behind to their kids.

You want to give me a chance to opt out? I’m in — today.

BTW Chris,

Medicare and Medicaid would be unnecessary if congress hadn’t borked Social Security.

Take a look at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_(United_States)

It’s a fascinating read.

note the 1939 amendment that made SS “Pay as you Go” instead of the original locked fund it was supposed to be. Had they never changed it, they would either have more than enough, or it would have failed completely. Either way, it would be better than what we currently had.

and one other note, I’d be happy to opt out of SS, Medicare, and Medicaid as long as Big Brother is willing to give me my taxes back from the last 20 years.

The AARP representative pulled the plug, just like Washington wants to pull the plug on all seniors when they get sick.

As long as I can take my money with me, I’ll be glad to.

The man who spoke near the end of this clip is right…the American people have been asleep at the wheel for too long, and the politicians in Washington, both Democrat and Republican have taken advantage. However…WE THE PEOPLE are waking up! And we WILL be heard! They can try to spin this all they want, and try to call us names, and suggest this isn’t really America speaking…we ALL know the truth and it’s spreading…that’s how revolutions begin…and a new one is coming America…Be prepared. It’s time to remind Washington that they WORK FOR US! And we CAN fire them…
As for AARP…CANCEL your memberships, and any insurance or anything you have with them or any of their affiliates. They’ve sold out…they’ll get the message when their funds dry up…

Hey Chris …I worked hard all my life gov took money in form of taxes from my paycheck that were to go into medicare …so I payed for it…

now if the government wants to give me back the money I put in with a nice say 50% interest well fine I’ll get my health care with that..

And once you cancel, the Republicans will turn their backs on you, because you gave up all your power.

I’m not sure folks like this lady realize what they’ve become. In the words of Bob Dylan (to add to the irony):

In a soldier’s stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I’d become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I’m younger than that now.

Mama’s, don’t let your babies grow up to be Republicans . . .

Skorch: The elderly have paid into the system their entire lives, not by choice, but by force. So shouldn’t they have a right to at least a promise that they can get a return on their investment, even if SS and Medicare provides a paltry one at that? Remember, the older folks in your neighborhood when you were a kid? The ones who drove by you while you were playing outside — on their way to work. The ones who maybe stopped at your lemonade stand and put a few nickles in because you were cute and they wanted you to have something? Well, the were working not just to put food on their tables, and to be forced to pay toward Social Security, they were also paying taxes that put you through public school, whether they had kids or whether their kids were grown and out of the public school system. And their tax dollars made sure you had a community center and a pool and a library and the occasional parade and a park with picnic benches and police to keep you safe. Your politicians didn’t do that — those people you call oldsters do that.

Thing is, I’m 40 and I get that and I appreciate all those things my forbears did. Do you ever think of anyone other than yourself and your problems? There are programs and people who help those who have no insurance, but you have to stop complaining and being so mad you see red to see it.

It is encouraging to see people who work for a living (or have worked for a living)starting to get some news coverage for standing up to this wave of socialism headed our way. Of course, if there were a liberal outcry by losers and latter day hippies, the major networks would be all over it.

That giant sucking sound you hear is AARP memberships getting put in the round file, never to return. Good riddance.

Well, the Republicans can turn their backs on me all they want — so long as they leave me alone. I don’t look to the government in that sort of way. But if money is power (and it is), then me taking my money with me is not “giving up all my power”, but taking it back from the grubby hands of the taxman….Republicans and Democrats both.

Like I said, I will gladly leave the whole thing behind — and not ask a thing from Medicare or Social Security or anything else along those lines — if they’ll let me keep my money and do with it what I please. Those programs are rotten deals for people…and they’re about to get even more rotten to keep them “afloat.”

Have you seen the latest from the admin to protestors!

http://speakmymindblog.com/2009/08/06/obamas-administrations-message-to-healthcare-protesters/

I quit AARP for this very reason. I don’t want a retirement organization who is trying to influence legislation. I want them providing support for their members.

I am ready to join another retirement organization.

Fair enough, Scott. At least you aren’t acting coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs like Marvo.

Woo-hoo! My Americans are awaking. A mighty Army. Guess they left their swastikas home????? If we don’t do it, this may very well be our last opportunity. They think we are all acting “stupidly.” Just because someone is over 55 or 60 doesn’t mean then are sheeple. Same for southerners, Texas, Okies–we are not dummies like these “edecated” sheeple herders think we are. Rise up. Don’t shut up. Trust your instincts and your Lord. I believe we can be delivered from the man who would be the messiah (if he could – which he can’t). God bless America. I love you all and I’m a long time patriot from back when it was popular to be a patriot. Nice to get a little blood flowing through our bodies again. Don’t give up. It may get worse. We’re dealing with true evil and a power-hungry bunch of people who think our lives aren’t worth as much as theirs. Pride goeth before the fall. With God, we will prevail.

I’m 67 years old and I regret that I have never joined aarp, It would give me great pleasure at this time to tell aarp to cancel my membership and put it someplace dark and damp!

I guess by “listening session” they meant that the members were supposed to listen to the AARP person (and keep their mouths shut). Funny me, I always thought a listening session meant that you the person at the podium listens to the people in the audience. Otherwise, just call it a speech or a lecture.

Cancelled my AARP membership.
AARP is in the hands of ACORN and Obama’s nazi goons.

Remember: OBAMACARE= MURDER OF OUR PARENTS AND THE ELDERLY!!
DEFEAT OBAMA NOW, AS HE SHOWS HIS BC AND ALL ID DOCUMENTS OR QUIT!!

I work for United Health Care AARP Medicare RX prescription drug plans… and I find it absolutely hilarious that corporate has to hear what the members have to say for once, and they can’t even take it! This is what I have to deal with ALL day due to the decisions people like “Sam George” make. Medicare and especially AARP, are screwing these poor people over. I am dreading when I turn 65.

Did I mention I am actually gay? That is why I know when Marvo is acting kind of gay. Give me a call Larse. You can take care of that Matthews tingle in my leg tonight.

wow, even if the audience was unfriendly the AARP representatives were really unprofessional. If they wanted to calm their members and keep them happy they failed miserably with those two up there. It sucks and I would hate to be them in such a situation, to be put on the spot and questioned by angry, confused members, however this is what they need to do. They can’t blow off those that don’t agree with them and just stop a meeting because they don’t like the questions. They just sent the worst message to their message and to the nation.

Well, now, I am not saying it’s a bad think AARP got its butt slapped. Maybe they do need a wake up call and to listen to their customers. Having said that, don’t throw the baby out with the bathe water either. God knows, the Republicans want to tear this nation apart and prevent the poor, the uninsured and the elderly from getting good health care. I can’t help but think this is exactly what they want.

This video is direct evidence that AARP does not care about it’s membership.
I think those that are members cancel and request a refund.

The AARP is sending me waves of mailers and invitations, but sorry, I will never join their Union. They can’t represent me nor can they reflect what I’ve nurtured for a lifetime, my independence and my self-reliant, right-leaning values. They will never see a dime of my monies. I’ve known for years that they are a lefty-looter organization, and they, like most other Unions, are much too cozy with those politicos promoting ever-increasing forms of social welfare. The AARP preys on older folk who might not be as strong-willed as they should be…or, were.

That particular woman running this local show should be immediately fired. AARP’s entire top-shelf management team should be replaced, if this particular action is condoned with no response. AARP will either clean house, or I recommend that you can cancel your memberships.

There sure are a lot of peop;le who hav e poor group skills. Once that bad attitude women took her Mike and left some commanding preseces got people’s attention. I exp;ect a new cadre of leaders to emerge from Teaparties.

I am 55 and will NEVER join the AARP. They have always been a left-wing, big government, spend, spend, spend organization. They don’t care about their membership, as was certainly proven here by trying to push people around. They only care about power.

AARP is only good for one thing, discounts and I can get those elsewhere.

This is why I throw away the AARP applications that routinely arrive in the mail. I am a nurse and there is nothing worse (besides “cap and trade”) then this government healthcare idea. I have said since the beginning that “that man is dangerous.” There are so many people suffering right now, why in the world would we want more added. I do not want the government in my bank account or to have access to my medical records. I do not want my government telling what I can receive in care and when. In a way, the crazy people in our government that refuse to listen to people, are telling the truth—–partly. Yes, we would be able to keep our doctor and our insurance the way it is—-until we can’t! It will not cost that much at first—-until our insurance companies go out of business—then you will have no other choice. Even if you opt out, you will be taxed—-and increasingly taxed—-and increasingly taxed. I do want to know what will happen to those that are homeless that do not get taxed? Right now we treat these individuals and often they are hospitalized—-I guess we will still pay for them and everyone else too.

Never joined AARP for reasons posted above. I don’t need their 10% hotel discounts enough to send money to an organization that has supported every left wing piece of legislation for decades. I’m sure the leadership are former 60’s protesters. How do you find out about these town hall meetings in the first place?

I am hearing that the Unions and ACORN are sending anti demonstrators thugs to police the town hall meetings. This is it, our defining moment. It is now or never. Do not let these people intimidate you, stand firm; I call on all of you to pack these meetings and protect each other. Do not be shouted down, speak your mind! we are Americans! They will be defeated at any cost…

It looks like one of the site administrators hijacked my name. How unprofessional. No other site has done this to me. Isn’t it time your supervisor fired you?

“The Painful truth” is as it is said “painful”. We are not just seeing the lack of leader ship we are put in the position of reacting back in DURESSED CHAOS. With the experience of age on my side is not always the great comfort seeing the level of frustration of how we are falling from the opportunistic leadership and whole sale rape and pillaging of our Republic. AARP an organization that we had known and trusted to represent us against special interest groups as the voice of the senior citizen is careening down the wrong road and they wonder why we have lost our trust. Why does it come as a great surprise that we may have legitimate questions? It is sad that this stage of information seeking is portrayed as a bunch of irrational ranting public activists hindering the progress of the sanctimonious left.

If there is ever a time we need accountability, diplomacy and clearness of goals it is now. We have as Americans faced adversity before although it has never been so organized as it is now. Our focus should be that “we the people” are the same as the ones who were being served to when the framers of the constitution carefully considered what our Republic goal should be. It seems that our direction seems to be the lawyer up of America with clever wordsmith and interpretive direction. How have we become so in need of a 1200 page edict to outline our daily needs and resolutions? Understanding that a man with many words has opportunity for many lies is not good communication. We need more than “In God We Trust” we should be in harmony with the America we trusted able to operate with commerce, with tolerance, with assimilation, and very importantly with consideration of the pursuit for liberty, life and justice for all. Not the edicts that are being leveraged and sent to us with great condescension now. We know our America; we will take it back and will emerge from this very painful learning experience if it need be with out the Senators and Congressmen who have so willfully let us down.

Well folks, here’s what it looked like to me — the AARP person wanted to present what they were thinking. Before they got a whole sentence out, they were constantly stopped by folks shouting from the room. What folks fail to realize is that AARP doesn’t sponsor legislation. They haven’t supported this legislation, but they are advocating for seniors. The folks in this meeting look to me like people who won’t listen to anyone unless they agree with them.

We live in a Republic. We have representative government. You all had the chance to vote for elected representatives. If there has been a change in this country it is because the majority were tired of the mismanagement and lies we faced throughout the last eight years.

I just turned 51 and have been debating joining AARP for the benefits. But after seeing all the stuff they are supporting, FORGET IT. They are a bunch of MORONS up there .. SHEEPLE is what they are. I am going to wait until we have some CLEAR LEADERSHIP in Washington and at the Helm of AARP. You lost me!

DaStupidVoteGOP: “All of this was foretold in the Bible: Verily, I say, in those days, Moe came to be upon the land. And, Lo, Moe begat Larry. And verily, I say, Larry did begat Curly. …”

You don’t say.

Have you read Matthew 12:36? The part that says, “Every idle [read, 'foolish'] word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment”?

Lauren…that was wonderful!! Mind if I borrow it??

Rich seniors have there’s and basically are saying screw any one else. I think very dangerous on there part. Take your government back? You lost get over it. AARP is looking out for the seniors in the coming years.

The AARP is nothing but a bunch of radical left-wing socialists! I’ve been getting mailings from them to become a member, information on insurance programs, etc. I refuse to join and fund the leftist, anti-American agenda. The AARP is only it for the organization and really do not care about its members or the folks that are retired.

Notice to AARP members, time to resign your membership and burn those membership cards!

HOW DISRESPECTFUL!!!

It just pisses me off how she waddled off in the middle of these elderly people asking questions. Asking questions and wanting answers, because many are scared and most are worried about this plan coming down the pipeline.
I’m not of AARP age, and when I get older no way will I align myself with these bureaucrats. I’m going to forward this video to all elderly people I know.

Kevin: “If there has been a change in this country it is because the majority were tired of the mismanagement and lies we faced throughout the last eight years.”

And you’re advocating more of the same … just of a different variety of fouling up further, right? You don’t get it. It’s not Left vs. Right or Republicans vs. Democrats. Read the Anti-Federalist Papers and see what those folks predicted would happen in this representative government you are now advocating.

Don’t you believe it for a minute. There is no problem for me to be gay and if I like Larse and his pink underwear that is my business.

Haha. She says, “you know sir, you’re not really running the meeting…” She thinks SHE was running the meeting when in fact she was just a case of the Inmates running the asylum…she being the wacko. Boy, she was rude.

and might I add – these dems reap what they sow…and it looks like THE CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST!

Dear Coty: There are few rich seniors. Haven’t you noticed? The economic crisis shredded their savings and investments — all of our savings. Now there was some massive redistribution of wealth — out of the many’s hands and into the few. And, what’s more, to add insult to injury, Obama and Congress are making the most of the crisis — typical power-hungry politicians that they are. And I don’t doubt for one moment that Republicans and Democrats are living high on the hog while we worry over our futures.

Lopar, I have about giving up talking to Conservatives. There are so many idiots like you here. They lie, play dirty, don’t understand irony or pretend not to, and they react violently when violence is not called for. Get enlightened, pal.

Hey DaStupidVoteGop,

Your boss called and said to tell to stop playing with the computer and get back to mopping the floor you SEIU loser!

Dave Pace: “Also at my new dentist two weeks he numbed my mouth and then went to his office and talked personal business on the phone for 40 minutes! I got up and told him his conduct was unprofessional right in front of his staff. I asked for my records and he initially refused, until I informed him that patients are entitled to their medical records under federal law. He then made up stories and put it in my records to cover his patient neglect.”

Sounds like you took control of your health care — bravo (no sarcasm here). Would a government-sponsored health care program allow you the liberty of speaking your mind to your dentist and then taking charge of your medical records? I would hope so, but it’s highly doubtful.

The AARP people conducting that meeting were absolutely appaling in their level of arrogance and dismissiveness! I’m a little bit in shock to see the condescension with which that horrible woman treated the MEMBERS of AARP who had the nerve to have their own thoughts and opinions on issues that affect themselves.

This is like a microcosm of how our government is attempting to treat all of the citizens of this country at this time. It’s just astounding. AARP will be losing membership dues from this family as of tomorrow morning. They are VILE and disgusting.

RE: the real DaStupidVoteGop August 6th, 2009 – 10:56 pm
Don’t you believe it for a minute. There is no problem for me to be gay and if I like Larse and his pink underwear that is my business.

If this is some random nut, I don’t care. If this is an actual site administrator, running this site, you should be fired, fool. And, believe me there a line of people to take your place if that happens.

Now, go dress your Mammy.

What are all these old nut jobs ranting about? Most of them will be on medicare soon, or are already on medicare! Yet they are freaking out wanting to deny other people what they have — government, i.e public- option health care! All the AARP lady said was that everyone could agree that the current situation is unsustainable and the old cooks went mad!

And to the loons who say if they opted out of social security and medicare they could provide a much better retirement for themselves – maybe so, maybe not. What happens if 10 years into your scheme you get sick, injured, or become permanently handicapped and can no longer work? Wonder how fast that nest egg you’d been working on will last. Social Security on the other hand is there for people in those situations, providing benefits for disabled workers and their families. Or what happens if you die early? Will your family survive on what you saved up so far? Again Social Security is there in those situations as well paying survivor benefits to spouses and their children. It’s much more than just a check you collect in your old age – it is safety net that so many people end up depending on who never imagined they would have had to.

Oh and by the way – even if you pay for private disability insurance, the first thing they FORCE you to do when you become ill or injured and must start paying you – they require that you file for Social Security Disability benefits – if Social Security approves your claim then your private insurance gets to offset what they pay you by the amount of social security you collect. All insurance of all types SUCK!!! They are middlemen who’s sole exsistence is to DENY people payment WHENEVER POSSIBLE

DemsBlow has just about every point right-on. All ‘Common Sense’ thinking Patriot’s need to work harder than ever (get into at least 3-LLL DNC faces per day and concentrate over the next month and get into the faces of these arrogant LLL’s.

The Gangster’s in DC have been destroying our Nation since our ubber-leader, Jimmy Carter. His terrible administration and federal bureau tactics, their performance in the late 70’s, with interest rates over 20%. Now this @@shole admin. is trying it again, only this time in spades.

We look upon JC as the local hemorrhoid with ears. Jimmy, please contribute the Carter Center to Grady Hospital, It will quickly become a productive research facility and you can go back to Plains on the next bus. You can only come back when you’ve got a semi-trailer chuck-full of large roasted salted peanuts and 40-cases of refrigerated Budweiser to share. Otherwise you best stay out of ATL for the duration.

I’ve been an AARP Member for years, but, I’ve decided to let my membership lapse because over that long period benefits have become scant or worthless. Some have been priced out-of-reach. And. Let’s face it, AARP is nothing but a sales marketing agency for select commercial health and life insurance plans, cruise and travel scams. The, of all things, we find that the AARP has backed the BHO Health Care legislation. Legislation that will never be paid-off before the total destruction of the US economy. What the devil are you people thinking?

Why is the AARP allied with the DNC and the Single-Payer Health-Care Plan? You all know that this cornerstone agenda dictates severe limits on 50+ seniors and goes counter to everything we expect for our medical teams. A federal bureaucrat will decide who’s going to operate; when they’ll operate; whether you even deserve to have the operation; and every 5-yrs. chec

DaStupid: What was dirty about what I said? No lies there. Oh, well. You have a low threshold for frustration. Tip: Drop the lazy side of the argument, then — you run out of ammo quick.

I am absolutely amazed at both the arrogance and the ignorance of these two people who where representing AARP. The heavy set blonde was irritable, condesending, snappish and just all around unpleasant. The poor fellow that came behind her was woefully ignorant. Of course the insurance companies made profits. Insurance is a nothing more or less than a bet that you won’t get sick and have to actually use it. Millions of people pay for their insurance each and every month and rarely, if ever, actually use it. That is how profits are made. Payments going in, payments not going out. It is simple really, but clearly it didn’t occur to Mr. Genius.

I was very proud of this group of people. God bless them all!

When I grow up, I want to be just like them! IrishKay,(3:57)you are wonderful!

I successfully cancelled my membership tonight. Make sure you ask for your dues back. They will transfer you to another rep for that. It is all pretty painless. They did not even put up a fight. I will be getting a check in 4-6 weeks.

Kick ‘em where it hurts – in the pocketbook. They were worthless any way.

This lady and the guest speaker were not qualified to present that meeting properly. Instead of being considerate and listening to opinions and saying ok we`ll pass it on to the leaders of the AARP they pressed without consideration and the guest speaker didn`t make sense, his statement about how much insurance companies were making and saying they were denying care is the reason they were making so much was a silly statement. He also said this is not about his political stance. What he said was exactly his political stance impressed forward to the people there.

Lopar, you are the lazy side of the argument.

I never joined AARP and I’m 63 years old. I could see through them years ago. There used to be an alternative, but no more. Art Linkletter was involved with that one. Could someone kindly start a Patriotic non-partisan similar organization, pretty please? I’d join and I bet loads of others would, too.

Quite a listening session huh? So typical of hateful Democrats.

-DaStupidVoteGap (aka, Frankie Bean, you can call me Beanie)

Guess the left aren’t open-minded to other people’s opinions yet again.

Folks, as with most organizations, the AARP has changed over the years. Instead of being at our service, it now thinks we are here to serve them. The old days of expecting this lobby group to support it’s members has passed and it now only has one master – itself.

I’ve been a paying member since I was 45 even though I could not get benefits until I turned 50. I was proud to belong to an organization that was created to protect older American’s interests. My friends, those days are gone. We can only stand up for ourselves. AARP now is merely a shell of its former self and it is time for us to take our dues and put them where they will actually do some good.

I’m resigning my membership tomorrow. I urge you all to consider doing the same.

Hey! Stop impersonating me! My Mom’s gonna freak! I’m already not allowed to go see the Jonas Bros. You’re going to get me grounded for life!

Cut it out!!

All you have to do is research who headed up (CEO etc) AARP. THE LIBERAL LEFT WINGERS…everyone of them! I quit them years ago when I discovered who they were. Unfortunately, the health care plans will pass the Senate because of the Reconciliation Rule that the Dems will invoke the day they get back from summer camp. Were all screwed

Socialism; A good idea until you run out of other people’s money!

Okay Frankie Bean, how did you hijack my name? Is the security on this site really THAT weak? Or, are you a site administrator who is bucking to get fired?

Turned 51 this year, my email queue has an email from AARP every week soliciting membership. They can kiss my A$$ now. I wouldn’t give them a penny for this tyoe of representation.

Uh, Steven, you ever hear of disability insurance? Life insurance? I’m telling you, I could go through the rest of my life drunk silly and do better on my own that I can do with SS and Medicare.

And the whole idea of a lump sum (whether through life insurance or whatever) is to fund an annuity for permanent cashflow. In other words, it doesn’t run out. It’s a goose that lays golden eggs and will continue laying golden eggs so long as it isn’t killed (ie, by spending the principle).

I swear, the level of even the most basic of financial understanding I encounter is astounding. Go run the numbers — they couldn’t be more obvious. SS only replaces about 36% of your working income — and leaves ZERO in the way of wealth to be passed down to heirs.

When the audience disagreed with her comment,the AARP spokesperson asked for courtesy and went on to discourteously say:

“This might be fun for you, but this is not what we are doing today.”

Was this young lady once an activities director for a nursing home?
AARP tends to hire young people to direct the old people around.

these people were actually treated with very little respect and the woman holding the meeting should be reprimanded . that being said …..these people are clueless.doesnt anyone see the video ? hello ? dont you people notice they are all seniors and are probably all on medicare . they are ranting against a program that they use every day …im sorry but thats just dumb.

why dont we ask this question to everyone on this board …..would you be willing to give up your medicare coverage ? i have NEVER met a senior who would be willing to give up his medicare coverage….so the fact that they oppose a well run program is just idiotic.

the last man to comment needs help….i believe he stated he was a marine ….he is covered under the VA.

i have to hand it to the gop ….they have taken a group of people and just confused them to the point where they oppose their own coverage.lol.
just say no ? understand what you are saying no too.

We work so hard and have little time to counter the “progressive” education he receives from his “enlightened” (read, brainwashed) teachers. Honestly, there are days I can’t believe he’s our son — it’s as if an alien has taken over his body. Even since the election. Sigh. That’s a discussion for another day. Now I’m off to get Frankie some warm milk, that always soothes the savage socialist-lite.

Do sleep well. And don’t take yourselves so seriously. This, too, shall pass.

Best,
Mommy Bean

Why are you surprised? AARP has never represented middle America and has never represented the people they claim to represent. They always have been a puppet for the liberal left. They will take your money with one hand and they will give you the finger with the other. When you join AARP, your money supports the politicians who have values very different from the majority of people over the age of 50. I have thrown away every promotional piece they have ever sent. I will always do so because my money will not be given to support values that I do not hold. Cancel your memberships!. Get your supplemental insurance somewhere else and let them sink into the cesspool from which they arose!

If the health welfare was so good for everyone as the politicians say, why won’t they join into it?

Okay Frankenbean, that was actually funny. But, I still think you are sloppy taco meat fillings that’s missing its crunchy shell.

This is why I never joined AARP. It is run by a bunch of Liberal, Left, Democrates. They will not listen to a conserative voice.

Read up SCOTT 11:21

President Barack Obama said Saturday he wants to help pay for his health care overhaul by slowing Medicare and Medicaid spending, but hospitals, medical technicians and others are resisting.

The “speaker” stated that AARP endorses neither candidates or legislation. I think she is full of it. Google it yourself or follow the link. If you google it you see the multitude of endorsements they have made.

AARP endorsement:

From Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/21/AR2009062101924.html

Barry Rand, chief executive of AARP, will join President Obama at the White House to announce the endorsement of an organization that boasts 40 million highly engaged, politically active members.

Laterz.

I am still gay and proud of it so you people are not going to intimidate me. Really. Just really.

I just received my renewal from AARP. After hearing their disdain for the members they are supposed to represent, I will no longer be part of just another governmental rubber stamp. We may be senior citizens, but WE ARE NOT STUPID! I am proud of these members who have the courage to speak out against being railroaded into a government health care system that does not have our interest or our health in mind. They simply think we will roll over and let them lead us to the slaughter. We will not be taken for granted and WE WILL NOT ROLL OVER! Long live America, and long live freedom!

The woman conducting the meeting at the beginning needs to learn to respect her elders. She is an AARP rep. after all.

I love seeing the Grey Haired Gang in action.

TIME TO DUMP THE COMMIE LOVING AARP ON IT’S BIG WIDE BUTT! Danny Glover is a spokesmen. Do you have to know anything else??

Bunch of worthless socialists.

to the few who insite stupidity on this site , your shameless.
the bottomline is a SENIOR on medicare will NEVER give up his/her medicare …never.
to the few clowns that say they can do better …..let me guess your also the same crowd that would have taken all social security funds and invested it into the stock market …..we know how that would have turned out .

hello seniors ……how do you feel about that great republican idea ….taking your social security and throwing it in the stock market ? imagine that brainstorm .

seniors educate yourselves……..its very simple .

would you want your grandkids to get the same coverage through a medicare like program ? dont they deserve the same health coverage ?

I will still not be intimidated for being gay. Really. Just really. I won’t.

I’m nearly 70, have not joined and will not join the AARP simply because it’s primarily a left-wing political organization; I’d as soon join the AARP as I would the Communist Party. AARP provides some benefits to members, but I have no intention of contributing to the AARP’s unvarying support of hard-left legislators and legislation.

Read up SCOTT 11:39 you POS libtard

President Barack Obama said Saturday he wants to help pay for his health care overhaul by slowing Medicare and Medicaid spending, but hospitals, medical technicians and others are resisting.

After this condescending performance by the AARP representatives, every Senior in America should realize that AARP does not represent them, has sold them down the river, and should cancel memberships if they have them.

The way the AARP rep behaved, you can see she was part and parcel of the campaign to demonize legitimate dissenters and push ahead with the Democrat agenda. She treated the audience members like garbage and showed the true colors of this organization.

Is anyone else alarmed that the Administration can’t bring forth any arguments to support this bill? And know they want you to snitch on your neighbor?
That’s CRAZY!
Why can’t they just show us the numbers?
Why must they insult and demonize the American public?

For shame

Please cancel your membership

this is INSANITY!!

I am in love with Frankie Bean. I have stirrings in my heart that I can not deny for him.

i cant believe how this country has turned into the me….me…me…me…crowd. you have seniors on medicare which is socialized care funded by working americans …fighting to deny working americans the right to access affordable health care…..unbelievable.

i now understand the term compassionate conservative …………..farce.

to some of you ……get over it a black man is president ……the civil war is over.

I am so angry that my Depends adult undergarment has severe leakage! Stop this madness now!!

Overview of Obama Health Care Plan

Unbelievable stuff. Yes I agree there are some wackos out there but sadly many are representing us…kinda in Washington. Check out a great conservative news source http://www.smartypantalones.com

I looks like AARP was offered a dictatorship position in Obama’s Healthcare cabinet. I guess they’ll be raking in tax dollars with a captive audience of the enlisted elderly pretty soon. Raum’s plan is coming together nicely.

:D

Bart’s doing the sucker feed for ratings…

Scott you might expect to get something back from a program you paid into your whole life like medicare. So I will be happy to get out of the program just refund my money with interest. The only problem is the fund has no money and you could refund our money. So take your smart As- idea’s back to the Dems and give me my money back……

The liberals have woken the sleeping giant!! We are not going away and we will not forget.
The arrogance of our elected officials and the media is astounding. Don’t let up people.
It’s about time we get together to do some community organizing! I don’t need to get paid by
union thugs, encouraged by republican opperatives, or lead around by special interest groups.
I am an American and I don’t like what I see. That’s all the motivation I need. I just heard
today that union thugs will be bussed into the town hall meetings. So, it’s OK for a union
to protest, but it isn’t OK for the average citizen? We are on a dangerous path.

Do not trust AARP to be empathetic to the people they serve. If you can imagine AARP as being more of an ACORN type of organization than one that truly cares about the people then you’ll have a better idea of who AARP really is. If there is a way to find out the political positions AARP has taken in the past I strongly believe you’ll see a liberal bias. I’m 58 and I have called AARP several times to stop sending me their crap. I don’t like them. Be very skeptical of them.

I wondered how long it would take Scott 11:50, the libtard, to get around to calling everyone a racist. They have no other argument so that is all they can come up with.

President Barack Obama said Saturday he wants to help pay for his health care overhaul by slowing Medicare and Medicaid spending, but hospitals, medical technicians and others are resisting.

Great to see so many standing up against this health care legislation, it will lead to rationing of health care – the government will decide who and what will or will not be covered, could force pro life physicans to perform abortions and all of us to pay for more abortions – even worse than roe v wade

I’ve been reading many posts here for the past 1/2 hour. You folks are true Americans! You are making me proud to be an American. Maybe there is hope, and hope for uplifting change after all.

I canceled my AARP membership years ago. The programs they were endorsing as well as political support were things I could not support. Glad to see this tape showing how AARP really feels about it members.

Cancel your membership.

I will NOT be renewing my AARP membership!

BarryBonds – so Barry, you think it is wrong of insurance companies to turn a proit – but thanks to them we actually have the best health care in the world – yes, we do – WHO ranks the US #1 in deliverables, that is the actual care we receive. We get knocked down on costs but then Canada doesn’t spend one red cent on research, in fact the US bears the brunt of the research costs for the whole world..we do most of the research and the world benefits but then that means we end up with most of the costs and silly rabbit, don’t think people will vote for your favorite disease of the week to be a research project when they see it as a tax..and we use our healthcare system far more than any other country..use something and the costs go up..drive the car and you spend more on gas etc..and then we get knocked down on longevity and infant mortality but all that get explained away by immigration…Japan is Japanese, America is a mix of ethic and racial groups, some who just came to America with no previous medical care..so I for one am glad we have healthy productive insurance companies that have given us the best health care in the world…now if Americans would just get our side in gear and get obesity, teen pregnancy, abortions, smoking, drinking, violence, overuse of the system (we don’t need to see the doctor for everything!) tort reform (getting the Democrats away from the trial attorneys will be a test!)under control we could really bring costs down with out this artifical endevear that Congress and Obama are trying to float..
I just read an AP news release on Yahoo that the White House is providing guidance to congresspeople on how to control meetings and that the AFL-CIO is now going to be present to control the crowds – the AFL-CIO? Yep, the AFL-CIO! Talk about strong arming and thuggery…….

Didn’t the people get the news?!? To question the government is now racist and unpatriotic. They must be reported to the White House immediately!

I had to repeat this part of my last post because I just can not believe it..”I just read an AP news release on Yahoo that the White House is providing guidance to congresspeople on how to control meetings and that the AFL-CIO is now going to be present to control the crowds – the AFL-CIO? Yep, the AFL-CIO! Talk about strong arming and thuggery…….”
The WHite House is sending out the AFL-CIO…since when did the AFL-CIO represent any part of law enforcement or the people or any part of the so called Democratic process – what the heck is going on here????

Rememeber, to liberals, seniors are “shovel ready.”

Cancel your AARP membership!

This is exactly why I cancelled my membership that we have had for 12 yrs!!!

Socialist: A perquisite to becoming a Fascist
Fascist: What Hitler was
Community Organizer: Hitler
Brown Shirts: Hitler’s “ACORN”
Obama: Hitler wannabe
AARP: Obama’s propaganda machine
USA: A once free republic changing to Socialism
American voter: The last citizen to bring change
American Veteran: The last American to restore freedom and the American Dream

WAKE UP PEOPLE! Don’t force it on our veterans to take back our country when you can vote now to preserve our freedoms our founding fathers gave us.

All of the hundreds of people here spreading disinformation about socialized medicine have been reported to the Øbama administration.

Get your things packed up into one suitcase only, his Acorn-thugs will be by your house in a little while to board you on a train.

Andy Rooney exposed AARP years ago. (google it). Also AARP recently paid a huge $51. million
settlement and had to divide into profit and non-profit organizations
because of the fees they receive for endorsements.

AARP has been a liberal lobbying group for years. I’m glad to see that more are beginning to see that. Anything they have mailed me ended up immediately in the circular file. Never joined, never will.

They are from Dallas. What do you expect?

I am so mad at AARP that I am going to vote against all Republicans for this.

If AARP is saying that the reason we need change is that the insurance industry is getting rich, why are they endorsing changing the health care industry?

You know how they are saying, that all these town hall meetings are just little disruptions, from some crazy people? I think someone needs to show them that this is not just a few “little” groups. Maybe those of us Americans that still believe in this country, can put together a Nationwide effort, that on November 4, 2009, the anniversary when all this mess started, people organize protests in Washington D.C., if they can’t get there, go to their State Capitol Buildings, if they can’t get there, go to their County seat, if they cant get there, go to their city’s mayor’s or Town Hall. That way, no matter where you are, you can get to a protest all at the same time on the same day. We need to show these losers, it’s not just a few people across the country being sent by some organization, that go from town to town, with a few signs. That this is a National effort, by the masses. We are not just a bunch of well-dressed, lunatics, that carry swastikas, or that are astro turf for the Democrats. Nancy Pelosi finally said what she meant, We The People are her astro turf, all they do is walk all over us. that is just how much she thinks of us. The people they are suppose to be working for. We need to ask them 1. Who do you work for, obama or the people? 2. If you work for the people why do you not vote the way the people want? 3. If you are not going to vote the way we want…We will vote you out, 2010, and 2012. I think they know this is coming that is why they are so desperate to get it done. They know they will not be coming back when those 36 seats come up for grabs in 2010. Hopefully, obama will afford them all end of Career Counseling!

do not throw away the AARP junk mail …

take out the BRM envelopes they send you and fill them with junk and put in the mail.. everyone benefits ,
The Postal Service with more mail volume and you. because AARP has to pay the postage by weight on all
BRM envelopes sent to them

The woman that moderated this is a fool, and an embarrassment. She should never have been allowed to be involved in ANY public policy forum on behalf of AARP leadership, and certainly not on behalf of the rank and file membership.

The AARP didn’t listen to their members. What’s that got to do with Democrats or Republicans? Let’s not make this partisan.

Anything I get from AARP goes in the trash. They are a complete JOKE. WARNING for people over 50: They are NOT looking out for your best interests.

I was so pissed when I saw this woman’s demeanor and patronizing attitude towards these concerned folks! AARP – listen up, there is no way in hell my 40 something generation is going to put up w/ that kind of representative in our faces in the future! Your organization has turned me off beyond repair after watching this rude woman parading around w/ a major “screw you” puss on her face. I swear if I was there I would have knocked her down a peg or two myself! Got it?

I spoke w/ my parent’s who are pulling out of AARP as you obviously do NOT have their interest at heart!

As for your representative “screw you, you miserable creature” Stacie!

When did we the people become peasants, and the Senate, House, and the President become the ruling class? I feel like I have awakened in a post-Republic state!!!

I quit AARP a long time ago, I had AAA anyway and it contains the same benefits. I was tired of seeing their pro-Dem agenda. I was sick of them showing movie stars on the front cover who had reached 50 – who cares? They have plenty of money to get face lifts and pay for servants and everything else they want – us regular people don’t need them thrown in our faces every month.
I applaud the seniors who refuse to sell out just to get some extra benefits. This older generation did not work and slave and fight Nazis and Communists so they could give our country over to Socialists just to get some freebies. There are ways to get better health care at cheaper rates, listen to Ron Paul, he probably has some ideas on the matter since he is a doctor, and a patriot. The problem is, we have no statesmen any more, only politicians. Actually we probably do have statesmen but the press destroys them as soon as they pop their heads up.

O.M.G., I can’t believe how RUDE the speaker was to the audience. This is just incredible and I fear an omen of things to come in regard to the health reform bill. NOT GOOD!

These geezers Rock! Go get ‘em Grannie and Pappy!

Stormy, who said you have the right to health care? That is not in the constitution. Presently I am unemployed and I am still paying my own health insurance. I have been taking odd jobs and am making probably around 20K annually right at this moment. But I saved money and didn’t go out and run up credit card bills, so I’m still able to survive. I’ve never accepted government care although I have qualified for it on more than one occasion. My father was a Pharmacist who is totally disgusted with government run health care (Medicare, Medicaid, and VA–he is a WW2 vet). No, you won’t get someone to give you free drugs (someone HAS to foot the bill, I suppose you want other people to pay for your drugs). You demonstrate the problem: we have even now depended too much on the government. Even some boomers think Social Security is supposed to take care of their retirement when it was never even designed to do that!

Oh, and to some other posters who have suggested opting out of Medicare? Lots of luck! You CAN’T GET INSURANCE if you are over 65 (except for supplemental). Thanks to Uncle Sam’s meddling in health care in the first place there are no options but government run health care for those over 65.

Are you paying attention? The government has only made the economy worse by trying to rescue private industry and to make it better! Where are they going to get the money to fund health care? Where are the new doctors going to come from? No one in their right mind would want to become a Doctor under a government run health system. The incentives of good pay are effectively destroyed. Especially since the cost for a medical degree is astronomical as is the malpractice insurance.

I turned 50 today and received my “please join us” mailing the other day from AARP. I don’t see how their support for the current incarnation of the health care bill is benefiting retired persons. Since they don’t support the efforts to benefit retired persons, they don’t need my money.

Now I will have more money in my pocket because I will never again send a dime to AARP. First thing in the morning, I will be canceling my membership. It’s too bad that when you sprout a white hair on your head you are treated as though you are disposable and worthless. Shame, shame on AARP. They can pat themselves on the back for their own demise. All of us worthless old people will show them we mean business. It’s about time we stood up and raised our voices. We’re tired of being tread upon.
No More!!!!

Most of these comments don’t make sense. I can’t believe how ignorant all of you people are on this very important subject of healthcare and insurance reform. I suggest you review this video, then tell me we don’t need reform or universal healthcare to keep costs down, people insured, and out of bankruptcy. This type of thing could happen to any of you, or your family.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKI9be55N00

This is why I did NOT join AARP. They have become a political organization. They do NOT Represent the Senior Citizens.
Did you see the woman running that show. She spoke to the seniors like they were children or fools. I am so proud they stood up to her. She left and then they had their own meeting Good for them. Everyone should cancel their memberships. What a scam AARP is. They are not looking out for their members. They are on another agenda. I am happy the Americans are rising up. Join together and stop the Government taking our Health Care and running it into a ditch like everything else they run.
I Am pround of these seniors, they are showing they are not sheep and they are not going to be pushed around.

I just joined the AARP after this – everyone deserves to be covered – I am loving this!!!

The curtain is pulled away from AARP. It is nothing but a big-government lobbyist, pushing for socialism in this country. While I am not quite old enough yet to join such an organization, when the time comes I will not join AARP. Obama’s socialistic healthcare plan will destroy our coverage, increase our taxes and result in the destruction of Medicare and the premature deaths of many seniors. Damn the Democrats to hell!

AARP has been sending me very inexpensive “invitations” to join since I turned 49 years ago.
Because their politics stink I ignore every invite, and I’d love it if someone could turn up
the AARP alternative organization that surfaced several years ago. I hear it’s a breath of fresh air.

Hey you oldsters – you really think insurance companies would cover you if there was no medicare? I’ve got some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell ya!!!

The AARP gets most of its money by far, not from member dues, but from government subsidy. The dues serve to influence people to be emotionally invested and to feel like they are joining together to making a difference. Plus they get more money.

In reality, the AARP hopes to keep the most consistent and reliable voting block from having to much of an impact in the “wrong directions”. Further more, they believe they can hood-wink those they see as a bunch of aging fuddy duttis that can be taken advantage of by infomercial style commercials and direct mail marketing.

Looks like things aren’t going as planned and the “fuddy dutties” aren’t taking the bait!

Still, if every member dropped out, the AARP would still have 80% of it’s budget. It’s time to expose the AARP for what it is. A slush fund for influence peddling, supporting ever more expanded and intrusive government.

Although the people in the audience certainly seem to mean well, I can’t understand for the life of me, why they are against universal health coverage, or something similar? Every first-world industrial nation on earth has it but our country, and, boy, do we sure need it! I know I do. I can’t afford health insurance and to eat, too. I guess enjoy eating a little bit more.

Thanks to Chet Aug 6 and others for the alternative to AARP. http://www.americanseniors.org
I signed up and will dump the tyrants and ask for the rest of my membership moohlah back. if no, I’ll yell like I’m learning how!! You guys are so great. Teaching the kids how to REALLY protest and how to GET RESULTS. We will win this one, and I’ll bet next election there will be a lot of sweating.

I was really upset by Obama at the AARP meeting telling about the end of life consultations planned for older people. Where do these freaks come from???? Imagine this scene: Hire “End of Life” consultants. Can’t be the doctors because they could be sued for conflict of interest :) That gives O a whole lot of “new jobs created” by the Ovomit Administration. Then, make the consultants wear UNIFORMS so when they come down the hospital corridor or knock on your home door, they will be easily identified. Suggest that the UNIFORM is a long black hooded cape and that the little silver pin clasping the cape closed is a SICKLE. heh heh heh. That would make any of us not want to have those consultants call on us again and we might sign anything to get rid of them. ALSO, there would be a whole industry creating new jobs for black cape makers and tailors to fit to the consultant, and of course JEWELRY makers to create the silver pins. DO YOU THINK THE Ovomit Admin thought about all these new job possibilities? I’d bet a silver dime if there were any, on it. God Bless You All for standing to this battle… it is another Revolutionary War requiring PATRIOTS.

I think we are the big dog being awoken like that famous old painting that warns pesky little dogs to LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE MORE POWERFUL.

Thank God I never joined AARP. I was tempted to join years ago for the hotel discounts you get for signing up. My husband understood they were simply an organization that promoted left wing policies and he discouraged me. I’m so glad!!

I have to say I watched a bit of this but became so insulted I just couldn’t watch any more. I am 51 years old and to hear this woman talk down to the people in the room just sickened me. Let me quote to you: “This might be fun to you, but this is not what we are doing today.” Is it just me or am I imagining what she is referring to. What type of schedule goes on at a nursing home? There is time for fun. I’ve often visited nursing homes and waited till the “fun” was over before I could take who I loved out somewhere. You people take it from there. Thank you for sticking up for what is right!!!

Good thing Dick Cheney isnt president anymore. With this health care quagmire he might of had George Bush order a shock and awe on the Mayo Clinic. Hand a world class economy to an idiot and his faithful blames the cleanup crew for the mess. A trillion dollar morass in the wrong country and no one in this forum cared. Now we can deal with more important things like birth certificates and AARP memberships.

Barry Rand Supports Obama’s Healthcare Plan
Wed, 06/24/2009 – 14:05 – George Orwel
President Obama has hailed a “historic agreement [with drug companies] to lower drugs costs” for older Americans, although some still doubted the government would reap in savings. The government wants to use the savings to pay for coverage of the uninsured.

This could be a boon to Medicare beneficiaries, and AARP praised the deal, under which the lobby for drug companies, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, said it had pledged $80 billion over 10 years to help “reform our troubled health care system.”

In a move that will please millions of Medicare beneficiaries, President Obama announced plans to cut in half the prescription drug expenses of those who fall into the Part D coverage gap, universally known as the doughnut hole. They would only pay 50 percent of the cost of brand-name medications in the gap instead of the 100 percent they must pay now.

The new benefit is expected to be part of health care reform legislation that Congress will consider later this fall. If passed, it will likely go into effect in July 2010.

Reforming healthcare is one of Obama’s top priorities because about 40 million Americans have no health insurance, and healthcare costs have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. He’s facing a big fight with those living off the current system.

Fortunately, AARP President Barry Rand is not one of them. In fact, Rand wants to help the president to get something for ordinary Americans. He was there yesterday when Obama unveiled the deal with Big Pharma.

We need more like him — a high achieving African American lending a hand to help pass this important legislation. After all, a lot more African Americans have no health insurance as a percentage of the general population.

I once wrote a letter to the editor for AARP’s membership magazine.
It was never published.
Instead, I was mailed a package of literature contradicting my viewpoint and encouraging me to follow their lead.
They’re Dictators.

Another thought… the Ovomit Admin talks about “owing” Unions and others for their support getting him into the Oval Office… are we missing something here connecting the takeover of medical insurance by the government WHICH WOULD RELIEVE CORPORATIONS and businesses from paying for employees health benefits? My that is a lot of money for those money makers who have many companies and many employees, for the rest of the corporations/businesses’ operating years.

Might be really helpful to find out the names of people who operated the campaign and gave more support than money… and find out what BUSINESSES THEY own and how many employees THEY have… and you’d see how much $ they would be getting as payback. Guess you always have to follow the money.

I am actually very surprised at the antagonistic attitude of the AARP spokes lady. She really needs time to find a new perspective on life in the unemployment line. I don’t know how many commentors are AARP members, but consider this. You quitting by yourselves is not enough, the people running AARP are political and you can’t “vote” them in. If you decide to quit that’s fine, but many of your friends and fellow AARP members may not be on the Internet and have not seen this video. I don’t know who submitted this video to Breitbart.tv, but I will make an offer to help transfer this video to videotape (or DVD) for distribution to AARP members, provided whoever provided this video gives their permission. I think the only way many people will be able to see this is if you give your fellow members the videotape so they can see the attitude of AARP towards their members for themselves.

There’s a reason I never joined AARP. They’ve been inviting me for years, and I have always round-filed their invitations, because it’s been obvious they were socialists. I recommend everyone who’s in AARP drop their membership immediately and demand a refund.

I’m proud of these REAL Americans. People who are patriots and will stand up for themselves and their country! I left AARP a long time ago because I saw how greedy they are and how many lies came out of their mouths. They mostly make money on their insurance commissions.

Regarding Obama, it’s sad, but he’s nothing but a “beard” for Wall Street. He’s a shill. He and his far-left are actually pushing a form of Fascism on us and destroying our Constitution. Mussolini back in the 1930’s said that Fascism is a form of government that merges big business with big government. And, that is exactly what is being pushed by the White House, Congress and the big financial entities (such as Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan) today. The Federal Reserve now has almost unlimited power and is backed by the Treasury department. TRILLIONS have been created out of thin air and pumped into the big banks. However, these banks are holding the money on their balance sheets and not lending to small business. Combine this printing money out of thin air, the unfunded liabilities such as Social Security, Medicare, etc., add to it this new Health Care boondoggle and we can see that hyper-inflation is right around the corner. The nations true debt according to the GAO is actually close to 99 TRILLION dollars. And, as the dollar falls in value, we are already seeing the price of oil rise and many commodities such as soy, wheat, etc. It’s sad to say, but every nation which has risen on the planet earth has at some time or another fallen. We, as a nation are about to fall… not from an outside invasion but from within. The path our leaders are now taking us will eventually lead to our self-destruction.

As seniors, we need to continually stand up and be heard and give good, honest guidance to the younger generation.

The woman attempting to run the meeting just displayed the typical liberal attitude, when you get tough questions that question your intentions, then run away, just like the dummycrat Senators are now beginning to do at the town hall meetings. Instead of facing the voters, they are now going to do their town hall meetings via telephone, showing the cowards they are. Just remember, a lot of them are up for re-election in 2010 and we can the final say at the ballot box and the likes of MADAM Boxer, Dingy Harry Reid and Queen Pelosi can’t do a thing about it.
Uh-oh, wonder if I will be “snitched” on at flag@whitehouse.gov. Do the words Nazi Germany and Brown Shirts come to mind?

The AARP guy complaining that health insurance companies make money and therefore people are denied health care is like complaining that the Dollar Store makes money so people can’t buy inexpensive cereals there. The head of the AARP an Obama crony makes $5 million or Micrsoft makes money so we can’t get all the software we want. They provide efficient and cost effective products. The government is going to make a lot of money off my years of paying into medicare and social security as well. And they will make more if they get to kill me by denying me needed medical care as I get older.
And of course, the government never denies anyone health care. Recall what was happening at Walter Reed a few years ago to wounded soldiers. What a scandal. And of course, no one gets denied health care in the paradises of Canada, England and Russia.
This may be the only country in the world, besides Israel who willingly treats Palestinians, where illegals can get emergency health care by law.

I’m disgusted with AARP. They represent the senior citizens not the goverment. However they defend OBAMACARE and tell us the members to
shut the %$^& up. Well I for one along with my four neighbors are
withdrawing from the OBAMAARP this very day and so should everyone else
who sends them their money. They are just a bunch of lying socialist.
JOE

AArp does not represent the freedom that our wonderful service men and women who sacrificed
their time and lives for us!

Michelle, Mrs. D, and Ruth all of you others who is having such a problem
with the proposed insurance plan. Please, could you tell me if you have
insurance coverage?

Daniel L.
I agree with you. I can’t understand for the life of me, why it is appearing that
so many are against universal health coverage,

Although I don’t like the video, I will still keep my AARP membership. You can’t throw out good representation based on just one fool. That would be foolish. I totally support AARP’s support of Obama’s health care plan. I want my grandchildren to be covered after I pass away, after I am gone and no more. I have battled too many times with big Health care insurance companies with very poor success. I’ll be darned, if I let my grandchildren have to go through what I have gone through!

The people in this video were inspiring. I have rarely been more proud of my fellow citizens.

I guess these are some of those nazi-sign carrying well dressed radicals sent by GOP HQ to hurt president obama. Lol, I guess you won’t see this on CNN.

20 years ago I cancelled my AARP membership…Much to my surprise a decade later I learned that I was still counted as a “member”. They need the “numbers”. It makes them look stronger. I wonder just how many AARP members are still breathing!
Actually the top managerment of the AARP thinks the name is AARLP…”retired LIBERAL people”.

The reason that so many Medicare users are upset is simply that President Barack Obama said Saturday he wants to help pay for his health care overhaul by slowing Medicare and Medicaid spending, but hospitals, medical technicians and others are resisting.

If you were dependent on Medicare wouldn’t you be upset too? Especially when they deny it right to your face.

AARP is a left wing organization which makes money by selling insurance to its gullible members. These creeps tried to recruit me and I sent them packing.

JOIN THE NEW AARP!! ARMED AND REALLY PISSED…..I hate the other AARP, was taken over by leftists once it got big!! Rememberm their spokesman Danny Glover loves Chavez in Venezuela, even wore red when shaking his hand!! Govt medicine for senoir healthcare in two words….drop dead!

There is an irony in the liberals attitude towards democracy in the health care “debate”. They claim that these town hall meetings are democracy in action and that the right wing mob is disrupting democracy and impolitely interrupting the discussion. These are the same people who did their best to make sure there wasn’t any town hall meetings in the first place. They wanted to see this “reform” crammed through in less than a month, while shutting of debate in the House, using reconciliation in the house to limit debate there and slamming the whole thing through before anyone had read the bill, just like cap and trade and the “stimulus bill”. For people so concerned with democracy and consensus building discussion these people are not very interested in gathering opposing opinions.

Keep pissing on our backs and tell us that it is raining and see where your polling numbers go.

What does Obama and his Marxist clowns have in store for us? Watch “Soylent Green” http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1296155071179146825

Now if that doesn’t scare the HELL out of you about Obama you are a Marxist too!!!

“Although the people in the audience certainly seem to mean well, I can’t understand for the life of me, why they are against universal health coverage, or something similar? Every first-world industrial nation on earth has it but our country, and, boy, do we sure need it! I know I do. I can’t afford health insurance and to eat, too. I guess enjoy eating a little bit more.”

That’s America’s problem, it would rather eat than take care of itself. “Let someone else pay for that,” they say. After all, somebody else is subsidizing your new car. Everything should be free. Hey, maybe China will foot the bill?

Many who are members of AARP do not realize how they are being used. Hopefully these discussions will wake people up and they will see what AARP has been representing all these years.
I don’t understand the rush to get something so important and costly rammed through Congress without knowing what is in it and letting those who oppose at least have their say. My family is suffering from this “have to pass now” stimulus package! This health care reform is going to cost us plenty too.

Years ago, a legislator put up a bill to commend one Mr. Albert DiSalvo for “his sterling efforts in the field of population control” and it passed unanimously. Who was Albert DiSalvo? The Boston Strangler! The legislator did it to show how the language of bureaucrats and govt. can obscure the truth. Why do I mention this? “AARP” “American Association of Retired People”—but of course, that’s not what it is at all. Its a business. It is a scheme to cheat seniors out of their limited incomes and sell them insurance that is not even competitively priced by and large and other stuff, and secondarily market advertising to those who further want to sell seniors more stuff they don’t need.

AARP is a lobbying group for its own PROFIT, not for the concerns of seniors. IF it really was a representative of “retired people” wouldn’t it have POLLED those people and said “WE’re your reps–YOU tell US how to go on this healthcare thing.” But no….they dare to tell their MEMBERS that rationing care, intentional govt. sponsored denial of care to speed death and reduce numbers of patients and all of the rest of what’s NOW going on in Canada and EUrope in all those so-called “industrialized nations” that Obama & Co dare to compare the US UNfavorably to—AARP dares to tell seniors “This is good for you. Honest it is. Now give us more of your money.”

The only way to stop these people is to BOYCOTT them–dont’ just cancel your membership and buy insurance from others, BOYCOTT the advertisers who support them in their magazine and othet outlets. BOYCOTT their sponsors and fellow travellers. MAKE THEM PAY AT THE WALLET for their scamming and shamming ways. MONEY TALKS, folks. Keep yours out of the hands of AARP’s liars and frauds who are only in this for their own personal gain. DO NOT buy the propaganda and hype. STOP SUPPOTING AARP AND ITS SPONSORS AND ADVERTISERS NOW!

A Message To “Martin” about your beloved grandchildren: This plan and the rest of the Obama spending program is CONDEMNING YOU GRANDCHILDREN TO A LIFETIME OF DEBT SLAVERY!

Consider this calmly, Martin, please: In about FIVE MONTHS, this President and his Congressional stooges have spent MORE MONEY than ALL OF THE PRIOR ADMINISTRATIONS IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY COMBINED!!! Start with George Washington. Move on through Adams and Jefferson. Abe Lincoln. Teddy Roosevelt. FDR. JFK. LBJ. Carter. Reagan. Clinton, Both Bushes, and all the less-famous guys you only know as names in history books like Fillmore, Buchannan, Taft, etc. etc. etc. etc. ALL OF THEM COMBINED! And in FIVE SHORT MONTHS these fools have already put YOUR GRANDKIDS on the hook for MORE MONEY and MORE DEBT!!!! What happens in the next 5 months? And the 5 after that? And you want to have these same fools who can’t handle a “cash for clunkers” program not only take over almost 20% of our economy but ENDANGER not only your health but that of your grandkids?

I sympathize with your frustrations. I agree reform is needed. But this is not the way, and it cannot possibly be paid for…not even by your grandkids’ grandkids! You love them, clearly Martin. But you do not treat them with love when you endorse a political powergrab that spends their money and that of THEIR grandchildren before they’re even born…all while putting in place policies already PROVEN TO FAIL just over the border in Canada and across Europe–policies, by the way, that have as their DIRECT INTENT the SHORTENING of YOUR OWN LIFE in order to “Save” in a system that hasn’t got enough money OR doctors OR hospital beds OR tongue depressors OR Asprins to take care of an added 45 or 50 million people, many of them illegal immigrants, many of them those in denial of their needs who COULD pay for insurance but CHOOSE not to.

Martin, if you really love your grandkids as I believe you do…WAKE UP! Don’t chain them to massive and endless debt in the name of “reform” that is not reform but destruction. Wake up! DO the math! HOW CAN SPENDING MORE IN FIVE MONTHS THAN IN OVER 200 YEARS EVER PAY OFF?

Will ” Most of these comments don’t make sense. I can’t believe how ignorant all of you people are on this very important subject of healthcare and insurance reform. I suggest you review this video, then tell me we don’t need reform or universal healthcare to keep costs down, people insured, and out of bankruptcy. This type of thing could happen to any of you, or your family.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKI9be55N00”

Good video, and it’s exactly why many are AGAINST the current proposed BILL. We not against healthcare reform, just against a complete overhaul of our current system. In these cases in the video, those people had an opportunity to appeal the decision, and they had the opportunity to present a lawsuit against the insurance company, and I am sure that if they did, they won. Try suing the government when the government refuses to cover a medical condition, or a needed treatment. And I am certain that the goverment plan will deny treatment because they do NOW. My mother has medicare, and has been denied certain treatments, as well as certain medications they will not cover. That will not change with the propsed government run system. Nor has any goverment official made a promise that the goverment plan would NOT deny treatment. In fact, they continue to talk about ensuring that everyone has access to BASIC necessary healthcare, no cadillac versions. What’s that mean? What is the goverment willing to cover and treat? Or, will you be simply given a pain pill to deal with your sickness, because, treatment will only help you survive for 3 more years. There are alternatives to fixing our system, instead of overhauling our system, the government can enact laws to fix what’s broke, without taking over the control of our healthcare system. Finally, the bill contains way too much that has little to do with covering the masses, but a lot to do with infringing upon our freedoms.

Have you read the bill? If not READ the BILL.

Just a thought:

People who want to do things in a hurry without letting people read, digest, react to and discuss the proposed action…..are AFRAID.

People who are in a huge rush to push their plans through without proper examination and discussion are….AFRAID.

People who talk fast, want to act faster, and try to sell you something based on fear, confusion, vagueness, and the fog of intentional complexity in bills over 1,000 pages long all in a matter of weeks….are AFRAID.

What are they afraid of? Clearly theres’ something in there that will make you mad at them if you are given a chance to find it and not rushed and bamboozled!

Whether or not there indeed is a “healthcare crisis” in this country is open to fair debate. But let’s say there is. Let’s give that. IF there is, it did not suddenly and dramatically get worse in the last 5 months of ObamaNation. So….WHAT IS THE RUSH?

Clearly the hurry is not about wise policymaking or fair discussion. Clearly, the rush to action is about FEAR. And people who FEAR and have something they want hidden (maybe a LOT of somethings) are probably not working in YOUR best interest but only in their own.

Anyone who’s lived to be 50 and over in the USA in 2009 who does NOT know that is….childish. SO let’s act like grownups, pause, consider, and shut this rush to action down. AARP lives on money. Give them none. Politicians live on VOTES. Explain it to them–no votes for you if you vote for this. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Act like the mature, grownup citizens and patriots we are, folks. STOP THE HURRY! STOP THE SCAM. Shut this flummery down cold!

“for all those liberals that don’t like everyday citizens voicing their opinion”

Well, we all know that no liberals are everyday citizens.

For the all the Conservatives walking the walk to The Church and making a Ripple. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i_CAVQUDWM

We all know the church makes a ripple. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i_CAVQUDWM

AARP makes millions on health care insurance, then have a town hall and have a “volunteer” tell the people about “evil” insurance companies that make “80 billion dollars”. What BS. I am resigning from AARP, I have forwarded the AARP spam in my email to the “flag@whitehouse.gov” because it is “misinformation” and I joined the NRA last week. As soon as they have a town hall by me, I will be there. God Bless America. Not Obama’s God D**n AmeriKa, but God Bless America.

Do we get the Government we deserve?
Arn’t most solutions simply?
We need to take back our Country.
Step one would be when considering the House of Representatives, “The 435,” they all must go in 2010.

”Incumbents go in 1 O.”

THE INTENDED RESULT OF NOT REELECTING ANY OF “THE 435” IN 2010, is the HOPE, that the newly elected “Politicians” in the House (and ALL those policy makers that work behind the scenes for them) just might, when they start feeling the power and prestige of their new Offices, ask the question, AFTER READING THE BILL, is this BILL really going to benefit, The People?

Do we get the Government we deserve?

I don’t get how these people can be referred to as mobs. They were asking questions that were reasonable but were totally ignored by the liberal wench trying to shove this ill conceived brain child of the far left fringe down their throats. They deserve to know what’s going on. How do the liberals refer to these as mobs when every time that a republican tries to give a speech at a liberal think tank such as Columbia University, they get things thrown at them, they get shouted down, podiums are overturned, and stages are bumrushed? Those aren’t mobs, but people standing up to ask perfectly logical questions are. It’s not like they took over the meeting, the wench in charge of it decided to leave when she realized that these people weren’t going to drink the liberal jungle juice.

AARP better read what the letters stand for. My wife and I plus 4 more couples in my family,which I convinced to take AARP. We are all cancelling all of the programs we are in and that includes membership, supplemental insurance, drug program Med.D and the life policy they offer. As a group Blue Cross is giving all of us a presentation on what they offer. We have several other couples outside the family that will probably join us. You were good but stay out of politics.

My hamster is pissed, and he is canceling his AARP membership. I tried to talk him out of it, but he tried to bite and gnaw on my finger! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UX0p7uAW2s

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT RESIGN *********
DO NOT BE FOOLISH DO NOT PLAY INTO THEIR HANDS THESE ****** DO NOT
DO NOT DESERVE TO GET OFF THAT EASILY. IF YOU RESIGN YOU MIGHT GET TO VOICE YOUR OBJECTIONS TO ONE DUMB EXCUSE FOR AN EMPLOYEE AND LIKE THE REST OF THE STUPID ORGANIZATION THEY COULD NOT CARE LESS. THEY ALSO HAVE SHREDDERS AND THAT IS WHAT THEY WILL DO WITH YOUR COMPLAINT. MAKE THEM PAY FOR SOME OF THEIR LIBERAL DECEIT. KEEP YOUR MEMBERSHIP AND THIS WILL REQUIRE THEM TO CONTINUE THEIR EXPENSES TO MAINTAIN YOU AS A MEMBER. LET THEM SPEND DOLLAR AFTER DOLLAR ON ADVERTISING AND MAILERS AS WELL AS ALL OF THE PRINTING COSTS. EVEN THOUGH THE US MAIL HAS FALLEN IN QUALITY THEY STILL CAN USE THE POSTAGE PAYED FOR ALL OF THE BS MAILED TO YOU. JUST FEED IT TO THE TRASH CAN WHERE IT BELONGS AND IF YOU CAN AVOID USING THEIR ADVERTISERS MAKE THEIR OPERATING COSTS GO UP NOT DOWN AND ABOVE ALL REDUCE THEIR SPONSERS PROFITS. MAKE THEM PAY FOR ABANDONING THOSE MEMBERS THAT DO NEED THEIR REPRESENTATION

My hamster is angry and plans to dump his AARP membership. I tried to convince him not to, but he tried to bite my fingers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UX0p7uAW2s

Just to clarify, the seniors already have national health care – it is called Medicare. Though they may opt out of it, few do.

They just don’t want people under 65 to have national health care.

Medicare for all or medicare for none!

One thing that struck me was that the people who were holding the meeting did not appear to be over 50. I wonder how many of the people within the upper echelons of the organisation making decisions really are effected by retirement issues. I don´t mind young people being involved within an organisation willing to help out older folks, but, it seems to me that those who are 50…with full memberships…should be calling the shots. This obviously doesn´t seem to be the case.

I like to write in caps, because I am gay and want to be noticed.

The AARP isn’t worried about these Seniors. All they are trying to do is tow the healthcare Socialization line to secure themselves a position within the forming socialist bureaucracy.

This is why I won’t join AARP. It is nothing more than a political action committee and maybe their agenda is not your agenda. They don’t get one dime from me.

Obummer and the democrats are on Goon patrol.

Where’s the nicely dressed people and swastikas Nancy Pelosi was talking about. Looks like real American borne tax paying Americans’ to me!

The AARP sold out the eldery for Obama $$$$$$ plain and simple. They know OBAMACARE is just code for insuring illegals and letting the eldery expire peacefully without the care they need. That is Obamas agenda. NOW is the time to fight back!!!!!!

Anyone over 65 with serious (ie expensive) healthcare needs, Obama would like you to pick out your favorite color, music and movie and then get in line for the adventure of your life!!!!!!! No pushing while in line please. Remain calm.

THIS is America. These seasoned citizens have my greatest respect and admiration. God bless them.

OBAMACARE is all about refusing treatment to the 85 year old veteran from ww2 and spending the money on a family of newly arrived young illegal immigrants

Listen I hear AARP memberships being cancelled all over the country.
I hadn’t renewed mine but that was long before this even started….

Who’d a thought Soylent Green was not science fiction! AARP finally being shown up for the puppet of the great Bozo…no Obama Death Care, no fancy footwork passed as truth…rugs lie better…power to the people…they’ve awakened the sleeping giant…why should we be silent and orderly when our lives are at stake…speak up, speak out and keep on talking…they answer to us, not the other way around…Pelosi, go home and get your botox fix..you’re coming apart at the seams.

The AARP is an arm of the DNC. It is now clear.

We never joined AARP but they still spend money to send us their junk mail. Goes straight to the shredder. However, our parents cancelled after they saw this.

The only thing AARP will understand is money.

CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIPS!!!

Consider the following:

An objective of Obama-Care is to provide medical care for 20,000,000 illegal immigrants. Without more medical personnel the present service levels will have to fall. The expenses incurred for these new penitents will certainly increase the cost to the government —- but the president has said it must be revenue neutral. The only way to find savings is to reduce the level of care for those already in the program: no more bypass surgeries or joint replacements for those over 70; no more treatment for cancer (breast or prostate) for those over 65; no more cataract excisions for those over 60 —- the president says take the blue pill (morphine by any other name) and sleep your remaining days away.

AARP and Democratic politicians want to rush the bill into law before it can be thoughtfully examined. It is a big bill with lots of legalese (an example is ” … subject to subsection (d), in section 733(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 … “) but try to read it. It is available on-line in various formats. The Government Printing Office has the “official” version at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr3200IH/pdf/BILLS-111hr3200IH.pdf
The Library of Congress version is a little more readable http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3200:

Do not listen to any spokesman leading a Town Hall meeting unless they can prove they have personally read the entire bill and the cross references (subsection (d) of section 733(a)(1) etc.).

Talk about arrogance! I’m closing in on 55 and they keep sending me material for my recycling bin…Heck no, I’m not joining AARP! When the liberals speak out, well, it’s just people exercising their freedom of speech. When anybody who disagrees with them speaks out( including some angry Democrats who are smart enough not to buy in to the rhetoric…)oh, well, they’re ‘fringe extremists’ or ‘plants by the RNC’. Right. Can’t wait til the next election cycle! Do it legally, do it in as civil a manner as possible, but send a clear message! Kiss our wrinkled behinds!

Can you believe it? The Democrat Party is losing the elderly as a voting bloc. You think the Democrat strategy of saying “Republicans want to take away your Social Security” will work next election?

AARP has long been a promoter of all socialist, liberal policies and issues. From gun control to healthcare. I have never been or will I ever be a member or supporter of the AARP.

I stopped my AARP membership last year. It’s a parasitic organization whose sole purpose is to sell products to senior citizens and whose management lean toward the left. I suggest that members tear up their card and quit that useless organization.

I believe the AARP is finished. By endorsing Obama’s socialized medicine plan, which is heavily discriminatory AGAINST seniors, they have lost all credibility as a trusted source of information for we seniors. I have been a member of AARP for 18 years, but earlier this week I contacted them to tell them to cancel my membership and I cut up my card. I cannot understand why AARP sold us out, but at least they won’t be using my $12 a year to further promote whatever agenda they’re pushing.

The AARP is an activist liberal group. I resigned after they endorsed Hillary’s medical plan. Now they are in the insurance business and I’m sure they have received Obama’s gratitude & future benefits for their endorsement.

I am turning 50 next week. I got “my” AARP card in the mail this week. I wrote on the membership form that I would not be joining because AARP does not represent the values that I do. I put that with other paperwork from their mailing and mailed it back in the postage-paid envelope they provided. So – not only did they not get my money – they had to pay to hear that!

Don’t just not renew – you should write or call and cancel so AARP will KNOW why.

Also – I know that we got a cut up version of the video of this meeting, but it seems to me that the woman running the meeting was looking to end it from the beginning. She seemed spoiling for a fight. The “interruptions” I heard were polite and people trying to ask questions or dispute something they said. I think AARP thought that this was a way to show how “unruly” the crowd would be – but it has backfired. AARP just got the tables turned on them by a bunch of fixed-income seniors in casual clothes! You GO GUYS!

Cancel your membership today. Stand up and send AARP a message. The only thing that they will hear is the sound of member dues being erased. This organization should be out there fighting to the death for the rights and interests of seniors. Instead they come out in support of a health care plan that clearly is not in the best interest of their members.

FYI- You can get the same benefit AND roadside asistance from a AAA membership!
Same with an NRA membership, minus the roadside assistance (although with the NRA,
you actually get a group that supports the Constitution of the US).

When the AARP memberships started coming to my house, I ripped them up & trashed them…
They kept sending them, so I started sending them back empty, unsigned, and sometimes with
“nastygrams” (my word for notes of vehement distaste). they eventually got the message.

AARP is a group of Socialist?Communist sympathizers who want to get the Government to take
care of all Americans womb to tomb…(provided the Government even lets anyone have babies, that
are not on their “approved list”).

Chris E you are such a traitor reporting to the White House the comments on here of people that disagree you Nazi. You are betraying American liberties and freedoms by kissing the hand of the president and yes Obama is an idiot when it comes to healthcare and the economy so Chris E forward this to the White House.

AARP is nothing but an insurance broker anyway. They sell insurance to seniors and charge a $10.00 membership fee. Check out htere web site.

Absolutely unbelievable that a rep from AARP would treat a group of members like that. I can
believe that this type of treatment is occuring not just from AARP but from our government
representatives. We need to keep our country and all to fight the best way we can. All those
who want to make an impact to AARP should cancel their memberships. Those who are thinking
about becoming a member should not.

Before everyone decides to sign up and give AARP your money just remember this. The main thing you need to remember is how AARP has their own agenda.
I signed up for it once and got laughed out of places asking about discounts using their card.

I was informed that AAA gives great discounts for travel, insurance, as well as hotels and lots of other things. AARP gives you a card for $12.50 a year.
Most people are not aware that AARP’s insurance company of choice is AIG’S AETNA. Why would anyone want to support the company that helped put us taxpayers bailing out all the big shots? AARP only cares about your money. It doesn’t matter if you support all the “Let them eat cake” politicians in government or not. I don’t blame one group only, this is the making of all those that could not get a job if they weren’t a crook in politics. You show me one politician that is not on the take and I will show you someone that won’t have his job tomorrow.

Why do the politician have the right to make the taxpayers give them what we can’t have? By us affording them the top of the line insurance coverage we are telling them we work for them not the other way around.

Enjoy this line now, you will be finished working for the government after August. Before Bush it was the end of May. So we slave and pay for their corruption and they wonder why so many of us are losing everything? When I pay my mortgage for the year out of working for myself for a whole four months there is not even enough left for household expenses.

When are Americans going to get mad and take back our country from the thieves that hold power? Sad this is no longer a We the People country. Only big donors have the politicians ears. To bad America has crashed and is burning big time. Anyone that wants change needs to help clean house in WA. You can’t get change voting for the same people, you only get more corruption.

WHEN WILL THESE “POLITICIANS”, INCLUDING AARP, GET IT THAT THEY ARE SENT TO DC TO WORK FOR US!!! ALSO, WHY CAN’T ANYONE TALK ABOUT THE FAIR TAX?? IT’S REVENUE NEUTRAL, FOR THOSE WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS, DC GETS THE SAME MONEY AS IF IT WERE TAXED INCOME. INSTEAD, TAX CONSUMPTION, THAT WAY, EVEN THE DRUG LORDS AND CROOKS PAY THE TAX!! NO MORE IRS, NO MORE INCOME TAX, YOU KEEP EVERY PENNY YOU MAKE!! ONLY WHEN YOU BUY SOMETHING DO YOU PAY TAX. APPROXIMATELY 23% OF EVERYTHING MADE AND SOLD IS TAX DOLLARS. WHEN THE TAX IS ELIMINATED, AND THE 23% FAIR TAX IS ADDED BACK, THE ITEM IS PRICED THE SAME. READ “THE FAIR TAX” BOOK AND “ANSWERING THE CRITICS”. GO TO FAIRTAX.ORG

OMG Stormy you just made our point. Medicare, which is run by the government and bankrupt, doesn’t cover medication that you NEED and certainly can’t afford on you own. What makes you think the new health care is going to be any different? Thats really naive.

But I am sorry for you, and I hope you can get it figured out. Best Wishes!

I cancelled our membership on Tuesday after watching an AARP rep. lie on camera about what is and is not in the bill. I was on hold for five minutes with the “refund” line due to a huge backlog of calls. HA… AARP can do without my money. I can do without their junk. I urge you to cancel and make them do the paperwork. Then I received an email yesterday with their talking points which are full of lies. I forwarded the email NOT to the White House, but to selected commentators who needed to know what drivel AARP is putting out. We must be strong against fascism.
