"Yikes! I Might Be...Militia!"
Despite several statements to the contrary in recent months, it turns out that AARP, a membership organization that purports to represent the interests of people 50 and older, was behind ObamaCare all along. According to an article in The Hill tonight, Associated Press is reporting that AARP is planning to endorse the House version of President Barack Obama’s health care reform plan prior to it being voted on Saturday.
It was only three months ago that an AARP meeting on healthcare reform went “South” and the organization began losing members by the tens of thousands, prompting spokespersons to make statements distancing AARP from ObamaCare. A short while later, however, an AARP ObamaCare ad surfaced, causing many to question anew the sincerity of the group’s leaders on the issue.
Yes, after all of the posturing and shifting back and forth with the political winds, AARP is planning to formally endorse ObamaCare.

AARP has long wanted to endorse ObamaCare. It only distanced itself to stop the loss in membership. Now that they’re off the radar again, they’re back in Obama’s pocket.

You can’t get through on the phone…I’ve been trying for over an hour, keep getting a busy signal…hope their system crashes
I just sent an email to cancel my membership and will follow it up with a letter..
Neither are giving me the same satisfaction I would get by telling them directly …

I too am cancelling my AARP membership, and have joined AMAC, which does represent my conservative interests.
The leadership of AARP has proven themselves to be a liberal leaning group that endorsed expensive Obamacare, without the consent of their members.
AMAC (pronounced A- Mack) is one of the leading groups fighting against President Obama’s health care initiative. AMAC has organized “Tea Parties” and participated in rallies against expanding government and raising taxes.
AMAC is pro-life, pro Second Amendment, and thinks government has grown too large and powerful. AMAC feels our elected officials are ignoring the will of the people. The proof of this can be seen in the way Congressmen and Senators have been treating their constituents at the various town hall meetings.
I learned about AARP and AMAC at a reliable conservative News Site: http://www.NewsMax.com.
