I find this very interesting reading, so let's keep it going if
you agree. It only takes a few days on the Internet and this will
have reached 75% of the public in the U.S.A. Seniors need to stand
up for what is right, not what the politicians want or big
Corporations want.
The disillusionment on the Internet is becoming increasingly
repetitive - the country's backbone is waking up. Will they listen?
Or do we have to embrace the radicals she mentions?
This was sent to Mr. Rand who is the Executive Director of
AARP.
(THIS LADY NOT ONLY HAS A GRASP OF 'THE SITUATION' BUT AN
INCREDIBLE COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!)
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. Washington has 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.
Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive
all communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING??? Someone has broken
into our 'house', invaded our home without our invitation or
consent. The President has insisted we keep the perpetrator in
comfort and learn the perp language so we can communicate our
reluctant welcome to them.
I DON'T choose to welcome them.
I DON'T choose to support them.
I DON'T choose to educate them.
I DON'T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or
clothing.
American home invaders get arrested.
Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy
privileges on American soil that Americans do not get?
Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed
and others only have to break & enter to be welcomed?
We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great
country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there.
He meets more people than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all
the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip
yielded only ONE supporter of the current administration. One of us
is out of touch with mainstream America ... Since our poll is
conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than one which is
power driven.
We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing
list, and will encourage them to do the same. With several hundred
in my address book, I have every faith that the eventual exponential
factor will make a credible statement to you.
I am disappointed as hell.
I am scared as hell.
I am MAD as hell, and I'm NOT gonna take it anymore!
