I refuse to join AARP because
1. don't want junk mail and junk offers
2. savings aren't any better than others have to offer
3. politics are extremely radical and not good for the nation as a whole.
If there were an organization promoting the needs of those over 50 that took a neutral stand on all none age/health issues, I'ld probably join. I don't see AARP changing in my lifetime. I can't think of one of their major issues I agreed with. For age and health problems, we need solutions promoted that are fair to both old and young. Our children will have to live under new laws longer than we will.
BTW, do you ever wonder how they get your name and address to mail their junk to?
AARP, enough already.
