Don't Threaten Me

Dear AARP,
I cancelled my membership with your association because:

I found you were receiving millions in kickbacks from insurance companies
You don't represent my opinions and views
You send out more junk mail than credit card companies
You write a chintzy newsletter
Your leaders don't own up when put on the spot
You are a lobbyist organization raking in millions on the backs of the senior citizens of this country
The more I learn about you the less I like you

Please quit sending crap in the mail.  I don't want to be a member of your association.

Can you believe it?

I can't find a thing to gripe about!

I have expressed my views on paying forward for a new power plant. I guess since I am going to be hungry in 2012 I need to go ahead and pay the grocer for what I will need.

I have expressed my views on people making statements without checking their facts.

I have provided links to the Health Care Reform Bill so readers can express their opinions in a knowledgeable way.

In fact I have pretty much sounded off on everything happening - just my opinion!

There is one point of interest found in an article written by Andrew Odom with the Barnesville Herald Gazette that made me smile. AARP has lost 200,000 members as of 2008. Perhaps they are not representing their members, but remember that is only a drop in the bucket to their total membership of around 40 million. There sure are a lot of old folks around!

Have a happy day!

Belle
