Anti-Second Amendment, pro-abortion and never saw a liberal candidate or cause they didn't LOVE. An organization that is much more in line with our conservative philosophy is the AMAC http://amac.us/ This is also a good source of information: https://www.soundmindinvesting.com/articles/view/seven-alternatives-for-seniors-fleeing-aarp kd

Anti-Second Amendment, pro-abortion and never saw a liberal candidate or cause they didn't LOVE. Plus they are a major front for an insurance company. While engaged in insurance sales with their left hand, the right hand was busy running TV ads supporting Obamacare and criticizing the same greedy insurance companies. And they say irony is dead. Be not weary in well doing.

They kept sending me stuff and I would write on the back telling them to stop, put return to sender on front, and send it back. Didn't do any good. So, I wrote on the back of their letter..."You supported obamacare and my insurance premiums went up $484/per mth-- you pay my premium and I'll join-- otherwise stop sending me this schit!" That was about 4 mths ago, and so far, no more mail from them. The next one, and there will be a next one, I'm gonna try Seafire's trick... attach return to sender mail on a something under 70#, and let them pay postage.
