Your ad about cutting Medicare and Social Security are bogus,  Are you not listening, both parties agree that there has to be some changes made in these programs in order for our children will be able to utilize them.  Anyone who is over 40 will never be affected by any change.  The changes that will be made will just ensure that it will be available for the next generation.  AARP's in Obama's back pocket, and he has allready taken a huge amount of money out of Medicare, he has appointed a panel to decide who gets paid what, and now they want to put our health records on line.  The VA was responsible for a lap top being stolen that had thousands of names, SS#'s, addresses, etc on it, that info could have been sold to anyone.  Thousands of keypuch operators will be handling our info, can we trust them all.  NO!   I had to sign a permission slip in order for my husband to be privy to my medical records.  We have a right to privacy.  And, for your information, there is a law in the Health Care Act that states, starting in 2013, if you sell your home you will have to pay 3.5 percent sales tax.  And AARP supports this law, doesn't seem to me they are watching out for seniors.  I do not want my dues paying for ad's that scare people and lie about it, I am not renewing.  AARP is totally liberal and will probably be a 2nd rate organization in a couple of years if they keep up this crap.  The last COLA from SS was under Bush, and it was ove 5%, he probably seen the handwriting on the wall, with Obama taking over.  Meanwhile, the congress and senate got large raises. Before you people keep making judgement, study, read and find out exactly what is going on, listen to all sides not just AARP.
