Janette used AARP as a "conservative" example of a group supporting Obama care - but seniors are jumping that ship like rats off of the Titanic!

  • As many as 60,000 AARP members have left the group in protest over its stance on healthcare reform, CBS News reported on August 17.
  • “I'm extremely disappointed in AARP,” declared Elaine Guardiani, a 14-year AARP veteran. Retired nurse Dale Anderson was with AARP for 12 years but now says, “I don't wanna be connected with AARP.” These feelings were echoed by other members who attended an August 4 town hall meeting sponsored by AARP. A YouTube video of the meeting shows how much frustration AARP members are experiencing with the group.
