They are all so well trained to say and do just what is asked of them. I think I will write them to check out the message boards there and to check with AARP as to how many members they have lost today.

2. Disagreement with the corp. agenda... |
|
isn't reported. I looked at the AARP message board and most posts I read were negative and expressed disgust of the sellout of seniors.
I did check a site with which I wasn't familiar, called TVLies or TVMedia Lies. It states in black and white what I've thought for some time - we ain't getting all the news here. I saw it posted here in another thread.
(sarcasm on) Just focus on Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson and Kobe Bryant. Those are the important stories (sarcasm off).

I am aware of the backlash here, but is there any evidence of backlash from any other place?

4. Go to the AARP message boards, find the Medicare section.. |
|
Or any section. Go to www.congress.org and a lot of messages are being posted there. I know my congressmen's phones are very busy, and I had a wait time with them.

I meant, has the outrage expressed on the AARP message board been picked up anywhere?

7. Probably not yet, likely on purpose. |
|
I wrote CNN, MSNBC, and posted a letter at congress.org trying to get publicity.
They will have to get a lot of letters though.

9. Kicking and hoping some of the rest of you wrote them. |
|
If enough people write them, they may decide to be honest and cover it.
