I agree with this also, Vernie. I think the AARP has sold out its members. From what I have read, many have torn up their membership cards and have returned them to AARP. I tore up mine about 8-9 years ago when they didn't stand up for seniors.
However, I'm not buying into the "let grandma die" rhetoric at this point in time. I'll wait till a REAL bill will be voted on, where all the lawmakers have come to a consensus, instead of a mix mash of 4-5 bills.
As to the AARP, it seems from what I saw on TV that they are signing new members faster than those who are jumping ship because more baby boomers are coming of age. The new members haven't tracked the activities of the organization like many of the older members. i think with the AARP, it is more about numbers than results for seniors.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
