Dear Chuck22234: My wife had membership in the AARP for many years, and all she ever recieved from the AARP organization was return envelopes, asking for donations. From my perspective (husband) the AARP is more, or less an organization for the wealthy, not the middle class, nor poor American retirees. This is a perspective of my own experience with AARP. Not that we expected anything in return for our membership, only senior citizen retiree support in the political arena, of which i feel we weren't even receiving that from our monetary donations. Since the AARP usually went along with political decisions detrimental to retiree policies. so i figure all we were buying with our AARP membership donations, was a good feeling big'brother AARP was looking after our welfare, not adding to it. Sorry to say, but that is the honest truth according this AARP past supporting member. i feel, when an organization such as AARP doesen't live up to it's promises to paying members, that organization deserves less than praise, hence this message!...
