AARP … Exactly who do they represent?

AARP has come out in favor of the healthcare plan. The video below demonstrates how connected the organization is to the members. When the members tried to ask questions the AARP reps decided to close the “town hall meeting” down. What exactly is a town hall meeting? In the Obama era it appears that we’re expected to sit down and shut up. Who do we think we are to question what they’re doing? I’m not quite a senior yet. I certainly will not be joining the Democrat shill AARP. It looks ;like the people who ran labor unions have moved on to the AARP. I guess they followed their members into retirement. Thank you to everyone who is standing up against this treatment. The AARP should be ashamed of the behavior of their reps. If you belong to AARP call them at 1-888-OUR-AARP and cancel your membership today. Even the telephone number is laughable.

    As AARP is a private organization, they do not “represent” (in the political sense of the term) anybody. There is also a difference between running away when tough questions are asked, and shutting down the meeting when people start interrupting the speaker. She said that questions and comments can be brought up after she was finished talking, that is just bad manners on the part of her audience.

    AARP should represent its dues paying members’ wishes or at least entertain their opinions. That’s why the audience was so agitated. They were not aware that the organization had already made up its mind. This is what I have found with labor unions over the years. Dues paying members were never a part of the political decisions. My mother worked in factories her whole life. Paid ILGWU dues for 50 years. She wasn’t political but that didn’t stop them from supporting every Democrat to come down the pike. Now in her retirement she receives a lowsey $90 per month in retirement “benefits”. Now their health plan might be bankrupt. Sorry but I think if you are a dues paying member of a group your interests should be represented.
