4. Here in South Jersey, Philly area

After the Medicare fiasco, never thought that I would say this. GO AARP GO.

PS. used to work for AARP, back in the mid 90's, actually called C-Span with Novelli, spewing when I worked for them, they actually cared about their customers. Remember, AARP, signs 7 year contracts, maybe, if we can, invade them, and get new contractors, CEO, etc, it will be better.

I left to work on, gasp, Wall Street. They went down hill , when they decided to negotiate new contracts years later.

If anyone wants to get the AARP coalition, please contact me. It is up for grabs every 7 years, wanna guess why the GOP duped them with Medicare and now are against them?

6. Please, please! I'm all ears.

Or pm me if you don't want to post.

I'm fascinated by what you're saying!

5. Cool! Too bad it's made...

...by a troop-hating organization that wants to force each of us to get married to a same-sex partner.

If you are talking to me, I can give you some info., but don't know how to pm and I am going to bed.

Here is what I know. AARP contracts are a 7 year commitment. When I worked there we kissed the seniors butt, sometimes at over expenses. It is a contract that is re-new able every 7 yrs.

When I worked there, Prudential had the entire contract for 14 yrs. When the bid came up (after I was gone), must have been a Repub, the negotiation went to, US Healtcare, Hartford Group and another Insurance Group. It was weird, cause I knew people from the divestitures. They have never been the same, before, they split their clout. I think the Repubs, used their divide and conquer, and succeeded. AARP, under Prudential, really kissed the butts of seniors when I worked there, it is a shame, that the corporate ho took over.
