WASHINGTON (AP) — About 60,000 senior citizens have quit AARP since July 1 due to the group's support for a health care overhaul, a spokesman for the organization said Monday.

AARP is strongly backing a health care overhaul, running ads to support it and hosting President Obama at an online forum recently to promote his agenda to AARP members. However, the group has not endorsed a specific bill and says it won't support a plan that reduces Medicare benefits.

Hopefully, more and more seniors will tear up their AARP membership cards.  Although they say they haven't "endorsed" a specific bill, it is clear that they are in support of Obama's plans.

0 should have known better than to mess with the Baby Boomers. Those folks know a thing or two about political activism.
