Amazing part is that they are shocked by it. I expected the people of UK/France/Germany and Italy to rise against TPTB a year ago. As far as I can tell, the people are late. Hopefully, not too late. (And maybe Greece too.)
AARP has a HUGE voting block. (They are actually just 1 big giant insurance agency.) Their "name" is being used in ads against Rep. Tom MacArthur (R). I would think they would have to approve the use by/endorsement of TM's opponent. Seems AARP has joined the ranks of the Global Totalitarian Socialists. This could be a big problem. Just be aware of affiliations behind the scenes of ALL businesses, charities and "community" organizations (Scouting, Sierra Club, Animal Welfare charities, even products you buy like cars, shoes, diapers and food and beer and even Churches [Lutherans promoting/facilitating/sponsoring unlimited "refugee" resettlement to USA]). Be careful where your money REALLY ends up.
PS. Bank of America and other banks are starting to denying loans, financing and service to people who own guns or even contribute to the NRA. (Get PO money orders and snail-mail them for contributions. You put it on a card and "they" will know to whom you have contributed and how much.)
