60,000 AARP members cancel

According to CBS News, 60,000 AARP members have cut up their membership cards and mailed them in with their resignations over the organization's position on health care. While the AARP insists it has not officially endorsed any plan, they seem to favor ObamaCare because they have taken no position. Senior citizens are leading the charge against ObamaCare because it proposes to gut Medicare.

Many former AARP members are joining the American Seniors Association, which is outspoken in its opposition. Their website invites AARP members to mail in their torn-up AARP card and receive a 2-year for 1-year membership in ASA.

YouTube has a video of an AARP meeting in which an AARP representative refuses to listen to the audience, leaves the room, and then returns to take the microphone away when the meeting does not disperse. Very funny but disturbing too. See this along with the comments.
