Shame on AARP! this months magazine has Condi on their cover

[Mari333]

I almost gagged when I opened my mail..whats wrong with them? Condi Rice on the cover of AARP magazine..I had to tear a whole section out of the magazine before I could read it so I wouldnt have to see her face..shame on them!

1. But they're not partisan.

They're really, really, really, really, really not! I swear!!!

2. How much of our tax dollars went into buying that cover selection.

This administration is all about projecting an image of "success". Who knows what all they've bought with our money to that end.

This administration certainly doesn't look out for the elderly's interest, now, does it?

3. I couldn't believe it!

I tucked it under some other papers thinking maybe later I'd read it later. I'm not sure it that time will ever come. Makes me wanna puke looking at it.

4. I wrote to them and told them of my disgust

[e-mail]
Let them know I do not want to see traitorous liars on their cover.

5. Maybe AARP liked Condi's role in the run-up to pre-emptive war: maybe

I won't renew.

6. I told AARP what I thought of them...

when they backed *'s insane Medicare-drug-supp. plan. I politely explained that I thought they were vile, filthy, Nazis and requested that they remove me from their numerous obscene mailing lists. I haven't heard from them since, and I used to get their garbage weekly! Never underestimate the power of a courteous, respectfully-worded letter. I would literally rather die than be associated with them.

10. I left AARP also when they backed the Pharma bill

and let them know why..then I rejoined when they started fighting Bush on Social Security..and then they go and put that whore on the cover..what were they thinking/

[DrDan]

12. I left them also - and also let them know why

I refuse to rejoin as long as Novelli is still a part of that org - he is just another bush-pimp

7. Thank you!

I had the same reaction and have been considering dashing off a letter to the editor about the glorification of Condi. It's disgusting
:mad:

9. It's WAY too late in the day to be courteous to the enablers of fascism!

If we don't tell them how we feel, how will they ever learn?

8. I know

I threw it away immediately. EEE-yuk.

[NV Whino]

14. Don't throw away

Write refused on the cover and return... at their expense.

11. AARP lost me as a potential future

member when they sided with Bush on his ridiculous prescription drug plan.

[Straight Shooter]

15. Same here.

I used to filch AARP mags tossed onto the counter at the Post Office because I wanted to know what was in store in the future as far as good deals that might be available. Then, one day, I read an article with a big Happy Birthday Newt Gingrich salute, with his smiling mug featured. It was then that I decided if they were so stupid as to honor that man who served his wife with divorce papers while she was recuperating from cancer surgery, that I didn't want to deal with them.

Then along came the drug plan and they pulled the earth in over their grave.

13. Too bad I can't quit again.

They lost me a long time ago.
