Recently I read where you said you would not be a member of AARP because the association does not let the country face our problems head-on. You are rich you do not need AARP or what it provides its members and by default every person older than 50. But you miss one very important reality. Neither AARP nor any other lobby group has influence unless you and your fellow senators and representatives sell your vote. Lobby groups depend on the fact that all politicians are dishonest, immoral and unethical. You first take care of yourselves, second those who give you money and last and by all means least the voter, if it does not cost you anything. If you do not believe it look at your senate retirement; look at your health care plan. We all see it. Why don't you? Does the culture of the senate so corrupt its members they actually believe they deserve it?
The AARP protects the sheep (its members) from the wolves (you and all members of government). The founders of our country never expected professional politicians. They "stood" for office because "running" for office was demeaning and degrading. Which we know is precisely what it is. So get off the back of AARP and get busy. When you and your compatriots stop selling your vote the lobby groups will be out of business.
