Tell you what I did when I read this email from Shonda. I dug my AARP
membership card out of my back pocket, stuffed it in a stamped
self-addressed envelope to Attn Tom Nelson. AARP c/o the Democratic National
Committee, PO Box 96585 , zip 20077
I wonder how many they will get. I wonder if the DNC will pass it along.

See, this is what I mean. For every 100 emails we send, another group is
gathering forces to undermine what we do and why we do it. It is just as
much these that we have to fight as it is those in Congress who are bent on
destroying us as a nation.
More than 110,000 Emails from AARP Members Have Urged Their Congressmen
to Take Action
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire- USNewswire/ -- As the House of
Representatives renews consideration of legislation to help bring relief to
America, AARP Chief Operating Officer Tom Nelson issued the following
statement:
(Logo: http://www.newscom. com/cgi-bin/ prnh/20070209/ NYF043LOGO )
"Boomers and individuals already in retirement are being hit the
hardest as the markets remain unstable. The value of their homes are
plummeting, their retirement dreams are dying and they feel as though they
can do nothing but watch their children's opportunities become more and
more limited.
"Over the past few days AARP initiated a call to action through our
online community to urge our activist members to contact their elected
leaders. The response has been strong. To date, these members have sent
more than 110,000 emails to Congress to tell them that the cost of inaction
is a price they are not willing to pay. Their voices have joined the
countless others who are saying 'Enough is enough.'
"This is not about saving another Wall Street investment bank -- it's
about protecting our futures. The financial security of millions of people
hangs in the balance. Doing nothing is no longer an option. Our elected
leaders in the House must put partisanship aside and stand with their
constituents who are demanding action."
