You can belong to any organization you care to, but I think the political objections to AARP are overly reactionary. Interesting that several people say they like the AARP insurance programs (which were negotiated on members behalf) but don't like AARP. As they say - membership has its privileges.
Hi coach: I beg to differ with you I have seen them advertise on television, in magazines, etc. usually in the form of endorsements such as with UHC
You can label it overly reactionary, plain stupid or whatever you like but when I recognized that my dues were being used to advance their agenda and not "the people's" interest it made it clear that I was wasting my money
