Buyer beware! I attempted to join back in December, but never received any information either by email, or by postal mail telling me that I was now a member. The $16.00 yearly fee was taken out of my account, but not interaction from AMAC at all. I called the help desk twice and talked to two very nice people, but still no response. I have now asked paypal to get involved to resolve the issue. I hope that AMAC isn’t as poor at providing the services they offer as they are a getting people signed up. I really don’t want to sign up with AARP but am greatly disappointed with the service thus far. You can’t be taking people’s money an not providing any interaction with them. Better get your act together or you will fail miserably as a alternative to AARP. Sorry for being harsh, but this is NOT a good customer relations practice.
Sorry, my last post should have read “costs and accessibility ISSUES…”
AARP has tried to MAKE me take their membership, sent me cards, enrolled me “free” without my permission, etc. AARP can take a hike. I am a Life Member of the NRA and AARP has taken endless anti-Second Amendment positions. I know they support ObamaCare and according to Steve O. from previous posts, it’s not being called socialist by those of his political persuasion (he calls himself a “moderate”, which means liberal). However it maintains a Big-Brother-esque REQUIREMENT for insurance purchase and gives limited choices of “private plans” that meet government guidelines. Having worked with government contracts for decades I can promise you that the GUIDELINES are where the devil resides in this. Look, we could greatly lower the costs and accessibility of health care by allowing citizens to purchase insurance across state lines, as Ron Paul has suggested. This injects serious competition into the whole argument and takes government out of the equation. If you don’t cover something, customers go elsewhere. If you charge too much, customers go elsewhere. Eventually the laws of supply and demand bring better insurance at lower costs than any REQUIRED government plan. Glad to see AMAC is available
I have read all the comments posted and was most impressed with the comments by Steve O. So much so, that my husband and I have decided to go with AMAC. Thanks Steve!
Where have you people been for the last 25 years?? I quit the AARP about 20 years ago for several (and mostly obvious) reasons. I recently heard about the AMAC and am investigating it. You all seem to be “me” oriented — You judge based on your personal needs or wants. Just because you say something is so does not make it so. Alll of you should try looking for the Truth. Your wanting it to be so or thinking it is or believing it is does not make it so…
So all knower and seeker of wisdom, please tell us what your beneficence deems agreeable about AMAC.
Guess what? Medicare is funded by the “payroll tax cut” that was recently extended for 2 months. The only tax cut I’ve seen the democratic party support. I guess the president wants to position himself as being in favor of tax cuts. It really does not make sense to cut the only funding source for Medicare when the system is going broke and then claim the republicans want to take your Medicare.
I googled “Alternative to AARP” and your sight came up along with another site. ASA;. I am glad we have other
options besides AARP
AARP does not reflect the politics and values of most of it’s members! We are conservative! Most older people have become moreso as they age. I used to be a liberal Democrat in JFK’s era! The Democrats’ politics are not the same as they were back then. They are Socialists today and only God knows what they will become in the days and years ahead – Communists? Just saying…
What on earth is “socialist” about Obamacare? It is based almost entirely on the PRIVATE insurance industry.
You might as well say that the loud rants on this so-called “conservative” site about cuts to Medicare are “socialist” since Medicare and NOT Obamacare is the real SOCIALIST system.
That’s right, I’ll say it again. The GOP just does not get it yet. Medicare IS a SOCIALIST system.
Steve, socialist or not, medicare is optional, Osamacare ISN’T. Guess why some might consider it to be socialist. Obviously, a person of your intellect wouldn’t understand.
You’re right – Medicare IS a socialist system. Also, it’s way out of control, can’t sustain itself in its current form because it’s inefficiently run (see Social Security, USPS, etc.), so it’s costs will continue to escalate. Sounds like YOU just don’t get it.
ObamaCare is government controlled. It’s set up so that whatever private insurance there is, will be put out of business because the government will do it cheaper to the customer, but more expensive to the taxpayer. I don’t know if that’s socialism, tyranny or what but it sure isn’t free market capitalism! Yes Medicare is socialist too and needs to be amended and eventually eliminated. So, i’ll give you a B for being partly right.
How ’bout some manners on this site. Such rudeness is inexcusable. I guess the “O” stands for “Omniscient.” Of course ObamaCare is not socialist—–initially. But the end result IS. Five or ten years down the road is when the competition goes away because the insurance companies can’t just raise taxes when the money runs out.
How do I resign from aarp nd sign up amac?
Steve O sems to be angry at the way politics are being conducted.I wonder where his righteous indignation was for eight years as the news media attacked George Bush nightly , always going back to how he was not the elected President , but in some way ,stole both elections???
It’s that Emotional logic bull again…Get the people worked up over something they have no clue of…
I’m on Medicare and it now costs me 96.50 per for A and B and another 250 per for real coverage and the same for my wife…Isn’t medicare wonderful???
And I have to listen to some politician tell me how something I paid into for 54 years is an entitlement..
We know where the largest entitlement goes to..so I will gladly join AMAC
Perhaps you are the one that needs a clue.
At least at age 65 you are able to BUY insurance. Any policy at all is a REAL blessing.
First of all, if you have not shopped for a stand alone (not supplemental) private insurance policy then you will not know how much it costs. My co-worker who was laid off from GE with me two years ago for example had to pay $1400 a month for a COBRA policy to continue his employer plan for up to 18 months for his wife and himself. And, he was only 40 years old and in good health. My COBRA policy was nearly $900 a month. His mortgage was only $800 a month and my mortgage was only $600 a month. And that is for brand new 3 bedroom homes in Florida.
Now, you have also failed to address the pre-existing condition problems. How are seniors going to be able to buy any policy at all with a private company with a meager $600 a month “voucher” from the proposed GOP plan if YOUNG healthy people who CAN buy a policy and not be denied or dropped can only do it for twice that amount? Well? I am listening? And then we have the dropped coverage problem. What are seniors going to do who get sick and are then dropped by their wonderful private insurance provider?
And, not to pop your bubble, but I am most certainly NOT liberal. I am a conservative MODERATE who cares about other people besides myself. Are Canada or Germany socialist nations? I think not and I see a lot of capitalism at work there. As a modern industrialized nation, the USA could learn a lot from other nations that are doing far better for healthcare for their citizens. And so-called Omamacare is only a step in that direction. It is STILL based upon the private insurance industry.
Since you think your situation is unfair since you have paid your whole life into the system and still need a private supplemental policy,what would be fair? More money spent on you from Medicare? That is the REAL socialist position since Medicare is a socialist system.
And what about ME too who has also paid about $250K into the Medicare system? If the GOP and Tea Party get their whiny ways then I will probably have my Medicare cancelled entirely and then be denied a private policy by the insurance industry that will not take me on due to a couple of very mild extremely low cost “pre-existing conditions.”
Many others here have posted that I am a “lost cause” and that they refuse to “feel sorry” for me. Well, then, what about the millions of others just like me? I think they are all over at AARP where they belong since AARP boasts about 40 million members and Amac can only claim $100,000.
Based upon the number of posts by Steve O, I think he needs to go for a walk and get some fresh air. He spends way too much time on the internet.
Hey Michael F.:
He ‘works’ for GE who doesn’t pay any taxes, makes the environmentally unfriendly curly cue light bulbs, doesn’t pay any taxes with a chairman that also moonlights as a (failed) jobs czar for Bozo Obama. He can spend all day didling on his computer–no worries…
Have just been reading through these comments and it seems clear that Steve O is a liberal idealogue and he should be invited to move over the the AARP site where he can preach to the choir.
WOW I just finished reading all the posts thus far, I was with AARP, I have checked the insurance rates and laughed when they sent back a quote twice what I pay now and I have never had an accident, I hate the fact they do not want me to own a gun but I own 6, I fought to protect this country from all enemies and I continue to protect this country today, I consider AARP my enemy and have not been a member for over 5 years. I could care less about car rental discouts or room discounts, insurance you shove at me with every mailing I received, fight for my rights is all I ask, nothing more. I just joined AMAC for 5 years.
Steve O, who seems to have lot to say in favor of Obamacare, has a living sister with a large debt on her hands thanks to the old, admittedly imperfect, system. Under obamacare, she would have a much smaller bill, but, alas would no longer be alive to pay it, as the expensive treatment would no longer be available, since those private policies will soon go the way of private college loans.
You missed my point entirely. A private policy that denies coverage, drops coverage, or commits breach of contract is not better than no private policy at all.
And then we have the pre existing condition problem. My current health status is excellent. But since I have a genetic condition that caused a few benign tumors, I can currenty not buy a private policy at any cost or any deductible due to these pre existing conditions. They go back at least 10 years on health history and I had a few weeks of inhaler use for mild asthma 7 years ago. Because of my denials, I can not be insured against bankruptcy for things like cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. And we are taking about policies with a $10K annual deductible. My annual health cost for physicals, dental, and prescription drugs runs less than $1K. My BMI, blood sugar, and cholesterol are all excellent. Yet I was denied by every company I applied at. Soon the insurance industry definition of a pre-existing condition will become “your father had colon condition…” That is the staple and mainstay of Obamacare that I have bought into. I want the right to be insured, to pay my own way, and at a reasonable and sane cost due to a large pool of policy holders.
It is the Democratic party that is pushing to make cuts in Social Security and Medicare, Steve. I’m on CREDO’s mailing list and they are asking people to write their DEMOCRATIC Congressman/women to tell them not to make cuts.
If Congress had not “borrowed” the money from the Social Security fund, we would not be in trouble today.
If the government didn’t drag it’s feet going after those who perpetrate Medicare fraud (and there are many), it could be that Medicare wouldn’t have its problems either.
You sound like an obama employee.
No I am not an Obama employee. I am a happy AARP member who WAS a 30 year Republican who is thoroughly disgusted with the politics today over this health insurance crisis. And I don’t think any Democrats are pushing to privatize Medicare. That is all GOP hogwash as far as I know. The Democrats are caving in to some cost cutting demands to the dismay of many progressives and have offered up some funding and cost controls for Medicare. And if you want to get concerned about cuts and cost controls then just wait until the GOP gets it way and privatizes Medicare. If they overturn the pre-existing condition healthcare reforms seniors who have health problems will be destroyed in the process. It is a matter of the lesser of two evils. Cuts to some payouts and more out of pockets for Medicare, or privatization of Medicare and BOTH its associated cuts to benefit payouts together with denyal of coverage or unaffordable policy rates for seniors wth pre-existing conditions.
Here, have another coolaide!
Cancelled everything AARP after the latest ad campaign, now joining up here. AARP represents the most extreme left wing of the Democrat party, and they are abusing their membership by doing so. A senior citizen’s organization should represent all seniors, by being neutral. I don’t think AMAC sounds neutral, but at least I know that’s what they stand for. AARP is not for me, and I’ve started telling other conservativ seniors the same thing. Get out of AARP.
Maybe they are not “abusing” their members. Maybe their membership wants to stand up for their hard earned benefits and fight back when it comes to GOP plans to cut social security and medicare. Do you REALLY want a private medicare plan? Do you REALLY think you will be able to afford it with a $600 a month voucher? (A laid off co worker currently pays $1400 a month for a COBRA policy and he is only in his 40′s) Do you really think that many seniors who get sick will not be denied coverage or have their plans dropped after they get sick? Only Medicare has the track record for the lowest rate increases and lowest overhead cost for the last 20 years running. It is not an extreme left wing “liberal” concept to want to collect on the benefits one has worked a lifetime to earn. Now, if you want an “extreme” advocate then by all means go with Amac. In 20 years when you can not afford your priviatized healthcare policy at least you might have learned a lesson and will know who to blame.
I don’t want anything even remotely resembling Obamacare socialized medicine. A co-worker of mine left for Canada this week to say his goodbyes to his dying father—-cancer. He’s over fifty so Canadian medicine (socialized) will not offer a surgical solution. That’s where we’re headed with our “leader” at the helm.
Just how is Obamacare “socialized medicine”? It is based on the private insurance industry with most people paying their own way. It is the furthest thing from socialized medicine that one could imagine.
And I’ve got news for you. Medicare is socialized medicine and it works! It has lower overhead rates and low policy cost – the lowest in the industry. There are many advantages to having one set of administrators instead of hundreds. It keeps overhead down and under control.
And I’ve got news for you. If you are worried about “death panels” and cancer treatments, just wait until the private industry gets its hands in the pot.
My sister had a 1 million dollar policy. She got cancer. Because the doctor said she was “terminal”, the insurance company denied her the coverage AND the treatment. She went ahead with the treatment anyway and wound up with a $350K bill. She had a miracle and was cured. The insurance company still refused to pay because they did not authorize or “approve” the treatment. She went bankrupt, had her credit rating destroyed, and nearly wound up homeless. She got a lawyer and sued the insurance company for breech of contract. She won in court but only after paying thousands of dollars in lawyers fees. And her credit is still destroyed.
If this what you want in your old age, then by all means go with a private insurance policy instread of Medicare since you think “socialized’ medicine is so “evil”.
Perhaps you should take a look at the history of flood insurance to get an idea of where obama care will take
health care in this country. The only flood insurance available in this county today is govenment flood insurance and it looses a ton of taxpayer money every year. I want to add that I do not believe social security and medicare started out as a ponzi scheme but there is no other accurate way to describe what it has become. In one of your previous posts you take exception to giving oldsters expensive treatment to extent their miserable lives for only a few months. Problem is, son, who gets to make the decision of who should or should not get treatment and what should be paid for said treatment? Would that be the “death panels”?
I don’t get your point about government “death panels.” The private insurance industry has had them for years. The whole concept of policy payouts is based upon “death panels” and “limits” to coverage. You only get covered up to the limits you are insured for and that is only IF and only IF the insurance company “pre-approves” the treatments. So your point on being afraid of government “death panels” is lost to me. Yes there has to be a limit. We can not afford to have infinite payouts with no limits. There has to be some sense of reason. My sister’s case is very very VERY different. She had a $1 million dollar PRIVATE policy and her treatment cost $350K. Do the math!!!!!!!! She was WAY below her policy limits and the PRIVATE insurance company still refused to pay out. If she was not below her limits and the company refused to pay up I would not be posting here. If we let the GOP privatize Medicare we WILL go straight to having the “death panels” you so fear.
And, social security is NOT a “ponzi scheme”. It is expected to be fully solvent for at least one or two more generations. The problem is they keep stealing money from the trust fund to pay for the deficit that they are so afraid to raise taxes to eliminate. We have a $1 trillion plus debt so far for the Bush wars alone and it is expected to grow to $3 trillion by the time we are done. They steal from my retirement entitlements to pay for crap like that. And, yes I am ENTITLED to collect. I have worked and paid into the system over 40 years so far.

SteveO:
You really ought to get to work!
Today I decided it was time to look for an alternative to AARP. As a conservative, I’ve become tired of AARP’s liberal views on so many topics, not to mention their constant flow of advertising emails.
I decided a few years ago to switch to The Hartford Insurance Group for my automobile insurance. AARP was pushing this insurance provider as one who accommodated the needs of seniors. Well, the rates started off very reasonable but have increased every year since, and that’s with no accidents or tickets. I now pay much more, at only 53 y/o than I was paying before I switched. So now I need to switch again. Shortly after I switched car insurance, I checked into insurance on my home. I received a very reasonable quote so decided to switch. A couple months later they send me a letter saying I have to replace the roof on my barn (which didn’t leak) and fix some siding on the back of a shed, all within 10 days or they’d cancel my policy! I ended up going back to my original insurance provider.
It seems to me AARP is NOT advocating what’s best for seniors, but rather what’s best for their pocketbook and the liberal agenda. My membership with AARP runs out in a few months and I will not be renewing. I’m definitely considering AMAC.
I hate to pop your bubble, but at first blush it seems to me Amac is into the same marketing crap. I mean, if you are unhappy with your insurance company why blame AARP? They are two different organizations. I do not get my insurance through AARP because I found a better deal outside of AARP. However, I still find all the info on health and doctors and medical care and retirement lifestyle and pending changes to our hard earned benefits highly useful. It is well worth the $16. And frankly, a true senior adovcate association should be non partisan. AARP is much less partisan than Amac – in my opinion. But if you want partisan bias and all its associated cuts to senior benefits, then by all means support Amac. Then when you have problems with your private health insurance denying coverage or claims in your old age you can repost and blame Amac. LOL
Gary says no cuts? What about the Republican plans to privatize medicare then? They are proposing a small voucher that willl not be nearly enough to cover current expenses for medical insurance. And, what about seniors with a preexisting condition then? If the current reforms are overturned what happens to them when Medicare is privatized? Do they just get denial of coverage or coverage “offered” at rates so insanely high they would be impossible to afford? And, Social Security IS solvent for at least the next 30-40 years. It is not a Ponzi Scheme. The problem is they need to stop borrowing from our hard earned entitlements. And the reform we need is cost control related. We need to stop offering thing like “experimental” cancer therapies to 85 year old terminal cancer patients at a costs of $350K just to prolong their agony for another 3 months of low quaity “life’.
Steve O.,
There is more that you need to know.
More than likely, for those between 45 and 55, the retirement age will simply be extended and proportional for that 10 years. Since you are close to 55, it may only extend your retirement age for SSN to a few months.
We can either fix this or watch it go under. The demographics on this issue are staggering. I haven’t heard ANYONE propose cuts, simply increase the retirement age/s. With the extention of life expectancy and the baby boom coming of (retirement) age, we have no choice. Unless you think Greece it the model we should be following.
The lying and misinformation on this issue has got to stop. Our country’s survival is at stake.
Couldn’t have said it better Gary!
I will consider Amac to be a advocate only when they stand up and fight the current cuts to Social Security and Medicare that are being pushed by the Republican Party. I have worked a lifetime to claim my benefits and will be on a restricted income when I retire. I have a preexisting genetic condition that will prevent me from affording my own insurance too. At least AARP is active in the fight to prevent these cuts unlike Amac who will toe the party line even it it means people like me stand to lose big time in the process. And it is very unfair to say that people who are above age 55 will lose nothing and people under age 55 will take the hit for them. I am currently 53.
Do you mean the cuts to medicare that obama care will make?
“Obamacare” is based largely upon private insurance for non seniors and cost control for Medicare. Do you seriously think that the private insurance industry will not impose cost controls on seniors when Medicare is eliminated and they have to pay for their own policies with a $600 a month voucher? And how will that not destroy the private industry? Lets say a person starts paying a company at age 65 with a $600 a month “voucher”. How much is the policy going to cost for that company to make their profit? And, how much is that private company going to take in and for how many years until that senior dies? And how much will they pay out? The numbers simply don’t work. And it will result in hatchet men in the private industry hacking benefits in a manner far worse than the cost controls Obama has proposed. Remember, the average senior has earned about $250K for the Medicare system during their working lifetime. If they buy a private policy with the GOP $600 a month “voucher” how many years will it take that private insurance company to break even? The numbers don’t work. And remember, the average senior will collect about $350K in Medicare benefits as things stand now. And remember, the overhead costs for Medicare are a fraction of that of the private insurance industry. So either way it ends up, cost controls WILL happen. Face reality.
I don’t like what AARP stands for. My wife & I have members in order to get the low cost automobile insurance. Does AMAC offer this advantage? If so, we would gladly dump AARP membership.
I am looking for a serious organization that will be my advocate, as a senior citizen. I don’t care a hoot about an organization arranging travel or other commercial enterprises. I think an organization that is also into developing plans for life nsurance, health insurance, or a pharmacy benefit cannot act in my best interests – if the main purpose of the organization is to be my advocate on issues and providing me with information. So if this organization is into providing a travel service, secondary health care plan, pharmacy benefits, and life insurance, this is not for me. That is why I quit AARP. I would like a forum for discussion, information, and an organization that will advocate for me and other conservative seniors. So which are you?
I have been an AARP member for years but didn’t renew 2 yrs. ago. I don’t get anything from the membership except a 10% discount on hotel rooms which aren’t honored on weekends when most people travel & a magazine I seldom read. I get at least one piece of mail per week trying to sell me life insurance & at least one trying to get me to renew my AARP membership. AARP sold us out over & over so I will never renew. Membership has continued to increase in price. AMAC sounds like a better plan. I would rather they spent all that postage money & money spent on salaries & paper etc. on something more useful to members.
How is it that there is only ONE negative comment about AMAC in this entire comments section? Are you screening out those who disagree and just happened to miss one? Let’s be fair here and present both sides.
I agree with Mr John. I do not want to join AARP so I looked for alternatives. How do we know that this is a good alternative when the first date seen is March 5 2010
URGENT AMAC webmaster!…You are doing the website, company and cause harm by not displaying these responses “most recent at top”…the website gives the impression of being outdated and not maintained!…why should anyone have to scroll to the bottom of the page to read recent, exciting and positive responses?…this is common sense front page stuff.
How come I never see ads about AMAC. I want my family and friends to switch. But they assume they can’t do any better then the other. You know at one point Amiga made a really good computer but they never advertised. It was all by word of mouth. They no longer exist.
While I haven’t seen one video Ad, I have heard many Radio commercials for AMAC on Christian and Conservative Talk stations. Knowing those who are most likely to join AMAC are most likely Conservative, they seem to be focusing their advertising budget where it will get the most results for the money Spent. Television ad’s or much more expensive than Radio Ads. I hope they read your comment and at least have a video TEAM working on Video’s that can be at least put on Youtube, and eventually I am sure they will run TV ad’s, showing the difference between AARP and AMAC, and Proving what AMAC can do, and what they have done. If your family and friends are Conservative or Christian there is a good chance they will hear their radio Ad’s. If they are liberal I can’t imagine them joining. I must agree with you though
They do need to begin with Video Ad’s to increase their range to reach some who don’t listen to the radio.
My husband and I were members of AARP for years, but an article in Bloomberg Magazine highlighted two actual cases of where seniors could get car insurance and health insurance coverage for considerably less than they were charged by AARP. Turns out the insurance companies give AARP a kick-back, and they receive approximately 70% of their operating funds this way. When they supported Obamacare, which really hurts the seniors, we cancelled our membership and sent them a blistering letter. They have been opposed to the Medicare Advantage plans since their inception because they don’t sell them and are competition. One of the men featured in the Bloomberg article went down to Washington and tried to visit their “beautiful building.” He was refused by the guard even though he was a member. AARP started out for seniors, but they have been taken over by the liberals. They no longer represent us.
i always send the s/a empty envelopes back to aarp,just my little way of helping them spend thier money.
I do the same thing,
Your blog has provided me with useful tips in the past and I come back here often to check for updates. All the best.
Do not trust AARP, so would not sign up for any of their offers. Very interested in joining AMAC and learning of the benefits of being a member.
Darrell, I too return the self-addressed stamped envelope from AARP. However I first stuff it as full as I can with pages from my NRA magazine….
Having read most of the mail, I too have recieved countless mail from aarp. However, I dont throw them in the trash. I use the sase envelope to mail it back. I call it Postal bailout.
I finally noticed that AARP was promoting OBAMACARE. It took me awhile, but here I am now with AMAC. I’ll be watching y”all. Don’t even THINK about going LIBERAL on us. We need someone who REALLY cares about seniors.
AARP is more of scareing of the seniors then helping them. They are very Liberal indee. When I heard about AMAC I read up on it & joined right after that. I am still getting mailings from aarp but it go’s stright into the trash can…

We joined AMAC to support them as an alternative to AARP. Let’s face it; AARP is nothing more than a marketing machine for dubious insurance companies (United Health is terrible!) masquerading as an advocacy organization (they sold us out by supporting the recent health care “reform” law).
AMAC is just starting out, so it is important to support it. As it grows I have no doubt they will be able to offer roadside assistance (that alone will put a huge dent in AARP) and discounts on insurance coverage that actually has value.
Regardless of roadside assistance and discounts, the real value of an advocacy organization that will actually *advocate* rather than sell out cannot be underestimated. The more that join, the more clout AMAC will have.
I am happy that someone has the conviction to give us an alturnative to AARP. The deception they have pulled on us members is horrible. I cancelled aarp.
Sorry Sofi, you need to educate yourself on Islam. Quote “When ye encounter infidels strike off their heads and make a great slaughter among them and of the rest put on the fetters(chains)” from the Koran 47:4. In other words slaughter non-believers into submission to Islam. Jesus Christ said “Come, follow me”
Mohammand says ‘Convert to Islam or die’. That, to me is a terriorist threat. Building a mosque at ground zero is as symbolic to the Islamics as was the Marines raising the American flag on Iowa Jima during WWII was to the USA. The message, battle won, war continues!
Sofi, I can understand your feelings but I think you missed the point. Most of us agree they have a right to build the Mosque- but is it the right thing to do? Wouln’t it be more compassionate for the mosque to be built where people would not be so upset? I saw a press release that said AMAC had reached out to the Muslim community by sending a letter to over 400 mosques asking the Imams to sign an accord on Religious Freedom. It said AMAC would publish the results when completed. That does not sound like they are bigots to me.
Where do I join? I canceled my AARP membership a number of years ago!
I will be 54 this year. When I do plan to retire, I know that it will not be with AARP. I took care of my 90 y.o. mother for one year (dementia & renal cancer), and it was a nightmare dealing with them. Their costs were outrageous! I’m in Illinois, so can I still join AMAC? I noticed that there was no listing for my state, and we could really use an alternative.
How do you quite AARP? I tried to navigate their website and found nothing. Called them. Nothing. I want OUT!
Stop paying their monthly bill.
I am 59 and a conservative American. I didn’t want to join AARP after the health care fiasco and was looking forward to joining a conservative alternative. But, now that AMAC has taken an active stance against the Cordoba House, I will not be joining. You have proven to be a bigoted organization who doesn’t deserve the patronage of decent Americans. Yes, I believe the people against the mosque are bigots in denial who think all Muslims are terrorist supporters. You can’t say you’re not a bigot, then portray the mosque as a monument to 9/11 terrorism. That kind of comment smears all Muslims, even the families of Muslims who were murdered on 9/11. Bigots care about their own selfish interests and only care about the Bill of Rights when violations of it affects them. I won’t associate with your kind of riff raff who are making it acceptable to marginalize the rights of Muslim Americans. I’m a good and true American who doesn’t punish all people with guilt by association for the acts of a few. May God have mercy on your souls because spewing venom toward our neighbors is not what Jesus would do.
I am also a Conservative christian and I have many Muslims as friends of mine. having read your comment, I can understand your sentiment, especially since I have so many muslim friends. I helped them with rent, and utility bills etc. While I do love them, I don’t agree with their Religion, although they are free to worship as they see fit, and I have never made any bad comments about their religion. They are my friends. However Many are against not the building of a Mosque, but the building of a Mosque so close to the 9-11 site, as it could be considered a shrine to 9/11 I quote a Devout Muslim “Also opposed (to the Ground Zero mosque) is Stephen Suleyman Schwartz, a devout Muslim and director of the Center for Islamic Pluralism in Washington.
Schwartz notes that the spiritual leader of the Cordoba Initiative, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, describes himself as a Sufi — a Muslim focused on Islamic mysticism and spiritual wisdom. But “building a 15-story Islamic center at ground zero isn’t something a Sufi would do,’’ according to Schwartz, also a practitioner of Sufism. “Sufism is supposed to be based on sensitivity toward others,’’ yet Cordoba House comes across as “grossly insensitive.’’ He rejects Rauf’s stance that a highly visible Muslim presence at ground zero is the way to make a statement opposing what happened on 9/11. Better, in his view, is the approach of many Muslims “who hate terrorism and who have gone privately to the site and recited prayers for the dead silently and unperceived by others.’’ — Jeff Jacoby
In your post based on your feelings that you feel others who oppose the Ground Zero Mosque you have called me, other Christians, and Even other Muslim’s BIGOT’s. You will have to pray about this yourself and see it’s at all possible that some of those who oppose the location of the Mosque might have a legitimate reason for opposing it
and are not opposed to Muslim’s. I assure you I am not, and I know for sure Devout Muslim’s who are opposed to it or also not bigot’s
To me this argument is as ludicrous as the argument that anyone who opposes President Obama is obviously Racist. I also have friends who are “Black” and I am Extremely Happy America has come so far from it’s Racist past that we have elected a Black man to the Highest position in the land.
That being said. I wish it had been a conservative black man, and not a liberal one. I don’t oppose President Obama for the color of his skin, I oppose what he stands for.
After being manipulated by AARP for so long, this new AMAC is wonderful breath of fresh air and the competition is good. Seniors are now given a choice instead of being controlled by just one organization to represent us in Washington and around the USA. Keep up the good work AMAC.
AARP has had its bluff on older Americans long enough. My father told me years ago that it was a liberal lobby that took your money but never asked for your opinion and therefore followed its own agenda. It has proved this theory many times over. I’m ready for this Conservative alternative! I’m joining TODAY !
I was a member of AARP for too many years but was disgusted when I read their articles praising Obamacare for senior citizens. I have done enough research on the subject to know they lie. Someone told me about AMAC; I found your page on the Internet, and am mailing in my subscription today.
