I cancelled by membership more than 10 years ago when I realized that AARP was run by a select group of people, most of whom would not qualify for membership, for their own gain. As an AARP member, you will never have the opportunity to vote for the leadership here in Florida, much less the national officers. You will never hear dissenting views presented. AARP has never been about representing older Americans, but rather about making money and promoting the Democrat Party.
