When AARP started, one had to be 60 (sixty) years old to join. Then they found out how powerful they could be and decided to lower the age by ten years in order to increase their membership tremendously, what with the boomers getting into their fifties.

It’s a crummy organizaton, IMO, because even as a member one doesn’t have much, if any, say about the points they stress. One example was the thwarting of the catastrophic insurance plan put forth several years back. AARP scared the members out of what I believe, would have been a very good plan.

When my mother had a stroke 4 years ago I started organizing her papers and found she had auto payments to aarp for decades. It was suppose to pay every time she was hospitised she did’nt know what she was paying for. Finally I proved who I was and got access to her account,she had been hospitalised multiple times over the last decade for heart attacks stents bypasses diabetes and related issues.When I gathered all the records and submitted them I recieved a letter saying aarp will not pay out on anything over 11 months,she did not know for one reason or another and now is in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. The point is how many seniors have been robbed by aarp and how many billions of $$ does aarp save through seniors disabilitys and missfortune.They know what they are doing and usually there are’nt any witnesses.I can’t be sure of the discussion and promises that took place all those years ago and even if I persue the claim would’nt the state or facility lay claim to it since she is now on relief.
A couple of years ago I turned 50 and started getting the aarp crap offers in the mail and they can’t swindle me although they hurt my mother.Hopefully people will read this and heed the warning these people are the lowest bottom feeders on the elderly and are no better than any other corperate criminals. They prey on peoples misfortune and disability!

Ha! I used the business reply trick with phone books sent to the RNC last year, but did not think to apply it to credit card companies. That is genius, dude. I’m going to start doing it.

Don’t ever join this association.
AARP is the #1 stumbling block to entitlement reform in the country. Due to their size and clout they have and continue to stand in the way of any reform to SS, Medicade or Medicare.

They have become a leftist organization looking to do nothing but enshrine every mistake FDR and subsequent nanny state policy wonk ever made.

Reject them.

You know, they are no longer the American Association of Retired Persons … they’ve officially changed their name to just AARP. Guess their long-term strategic plans pointed to the fact that their prospect base would shrink considerably if they continued to target only retired folks.

I got this thing in the mail, and I’m 46! I actually wrote in big permanent marker, “I’M NOT 50 YET!!!” and put it in their business reply envelope, but then my wife smelled the marker and ripped the envelope open when I stepped away.

Ironically, I received my first invitation to join AARP when I turned 25.

True story: My MIL once did mistakenly refer to AARP as the “American Association of Retarded Persons.”

[...] Seems the magic age of 47 is when the AARP decides that they had better start courting folks. Joe is 47 and got one. Grumpy, too. I didn’t even bother to open mine. I promptly threw it [...]
