Shocker: Thousands Quit AARP Over Obamacare
CBS News has learned that up to 60,000 people have cancelled their AARP memberships since July 1, angered over the group’s position on health care.
Elaine Guardiani has been with AARP for 14 years, and said, “I’m extremely disappointed in AARP.”
Retired nurse Dale Anderson has 12 years with AARP and said, “I don’t wanna be connected with AARP.”
Many are switching to the American Seniors Association, a group that calls itself the conservative alternative as CBS News.
The Seniors have finally figured out that the AARP is a left-wing front organization. I think they will bleed members unless they move more towards the center of the political spectrum.
Frankly, I don’t need a senior associaton to represent me but I don’t want one that works against MY interests like the AARP.

I don’t think posting a cartoon of mine that ran in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch several years before Barack Obama became president illustrates your point very well. In fact, it is very misleading.
I also don’t recall giving you permission to use the cartoon – can you please remove this?
Sincerely,

Your cartoon has been removed and replaced by a CBS video.

It was not misleading because the AARP is stabbing senior citizens in the back by supporting Obamacare – in a limited way.
However, since you are a left-wing ideologue, I am positive you don’t see it this way.
