>>Dear Mr. Rand,
>>
>>Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership
>>in AARP by the requested date. I know it is not what you were looking for,
>>but this is the most honest response I can give you. Our gap in coverage is
>>merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith.
>>
>>While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have
>>long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer
>>endorse it's abdication of our values. Your letter specifically stated that
>>we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not
>>ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED
>>WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to
>>embrace. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything
>>presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and
>>long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is
>>the philosophy which spawned our 200 years of government.
>>
>>Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic.
>>We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power
>>we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a sense of
>>belonging which we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the
>>Obama administration and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood
>>pressure my medical insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of
>>interest there!
>>
>>We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding
>>forces that we expected to map out our senior years and leave your ranks with
>>a great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of
>>knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our
>>membership. There are numerous other organizations which offer discounts
>>without threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities.
>>
>>This Presidential Administration scares the living daylights out of us. Not
>>just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage. But even
>>more importantly for our children and grandchildren. Washingtonhas rendered
>>Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare
>>tactic. I have never in my life endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet
>>now I find myself listening to them. I don't have to agree with them to
>>appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity
>>presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist mindset in
>>power. Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic
>>uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the
>>freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities it requires.
