When it comes to AARP I am a single issue voter.
NO!
I used to be a member. Then, several years ago they came out in favor of gun control legislation that was a move toward abolishing personal ownership of guns.
I wrote to the President of AARP and pointed out that as I became older it became even more important to me to be able to carry a firearm for self defense since I couldn't expect to successfully fight a mugger. Accordingly, I felt that an organization that represented older people should support having older people authorized to carry firearms.
The President wrote back and insisted that AARP would devote time, energy and lobbying effort in Congress to try to end personal ownership of guns.
I didn't wait for my membership to expire; I resigned immediately.
Regarding AARP discounts, in my travels, making hotel reservations on line, I have never found an AARP rate that beat AAA. And, besides, AAA gives you travel guides, road service for breakdowns, great rates on insurance, travel agents for cruises, discount tickets for attractions and lots more.
No to AARP forever!
