Dear AARP - Thanks But No Thanks!

Dear AARP:

Thank you for your kind reminder that I am eligible for membership to your organization. I must however, decline your generous offer as I really don’t see how AARP can help me. As I recall, you were once known as the American Association of Retired People. I, however, will never be able to retire. Therefore, I couldn’t possibly be eligible to join your organization.

You have been such a powerful force here in Washington as a lobby in support of individuals of certain age through pension, social security, and Medicaid advocacy. However, in all your terrific efforts to increase benefits and funding to help our parents and grandparents, you forgot about protecting us; the children and grandchildren who were footing the bill. As one those who is standing next in line to receive the benefits of your efforts eradicating poverty of elders and discrimination over generations, I believe you had a responsibility to ensure the solvency of the very system that supports it.

Therefore, I will not be remitting my $16, $43, or even $63 dollars for a five year membership with the self addressed stamped envelope you so kindly enclosed. It’s too bad, that Magazine sounds like it has some cool tips and discounts for those traveling the country. What with hotel specials; RV insurance; and those great deals on vitamins from China, it sure sounds like the good life.

I will end with my thanks, but no thanks for your offer! Keep sending me those cards and offers, however. I can only hope in my own small way, I help you go broke sending me these offers, one envelope at a time!

Regards,

"NO" Is not a bad word! Our Founders used it frequently!

I'd like to point out to those who think that being the "Party of 'No'" is a bad thing, the following:

Let’s take a look at the concept of a party of “No” in American historical context, shall we?

The Bill of Rights to the Constitution of the United States of America:

1st Amendment: “Congress shall make no law…”
2nd Amendment: “…the right of the People… shall not be infringed.”
3rd Amendment: “No soldier shall…”
4th Amendment: “…shall not be violated and no warrants…”
5th Amendment: “No person shall…”
7th Amendment: “…and no fact tried…”
8th Amendment: “…shall not be required…”
9th Amendment: “… shall not be construed…”
10th Amendment: “…powers not delegated…”

American government was DESIGNED to be a government of “No.” That’s why it’s called a “limited government,” of "enumerated powers," of which 'healthcare' is NOT one.

Dems want an unlimited government, but let’s not pretend that wanting America to be a government of “Yes” is either a good idea or a historically accurate representation of the country in which we live.

Viva la Brown!

10 Darn Good Principles I Can Live With!

Republican leaders — are mulling a 10-point test for potential electoral candidates. The passing grade is 8. Score 7 or less, and you get cut off from party funds and endorsements.

(1) We support smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill;

(2) We support market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run health care;

(3) We support market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;

(4) We support workers’ right to secret ballot by opposing card check;

(5) We support legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;

(6) We support victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;

(7) We support containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat;

(8) We support retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;

(9) We support protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and

(10) We support the right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership.

Joe Wilson for President! The Last Honest Man In Congress!

I have never given to a political party before in my life...but this guy deserves my spare cash! I forgive Joe Wilson for breaking decorum in the House. I only wish he'd shouted "BULL SHIT"!

Give to Joe's campaign!
