AMAC vs. AARP – Battling for the Hearts and Minds of Seniors
|
 If you haven't chosen AMAC over AARP yet, here's why you
should.
During the first debate, President Obama touted the support of AARP for
ObamaCare several times, clearly tying them together.
Further proof that they were working in concert can be found in recently
released emails between the White House and AARP operatives. As the emails
show, AARP threw their tremendous power behind the legislation despite the
fact they were getting calls overwhelmingly against it.
|
|
In fact, on September 20, 2012, Kimberley A. Strassel of the
Wall Street Journal
wrote:
|
|
"Thanks to just-released emails from the House Energy
and Commerce Committee, we now know that AARP worked through 2009-2010 as
an extension of a Democratic White House, toiling daily to pass a health
bill that slashes $716 billion from Medicare, strips seniors of choice, and
sets the stage for rationing. We know that despite AARP's awareness that
its seniors overwhelmingly opposed the bill, the ‘nonpartisan membership
organization' chose to serve the president's agenda.
|
|
The 71 pages of emails show an AARP management taking orders
from the White House, scripting the president's talking points, working to
keep its board ‘in line,' and pledging fealty to ‘the cause.' Seniors
deserve to know all this, as AARP seeks to present itself as neutral in
this presidential election."
|
|
AARP refuses to take a formal position on the Independent
Payment Advisory Board ("rationing board") portion of ObamaCare
and even defends some aspects of the board. Given the negative impact that
the IPAB will have on seniors, this is unbelievable (but sadly, not
unexpected).
|
|
AMAC is against the harsh provisions in ObamaCare that give
the Federal government complete control of our healthcare. It destroys the
best healthcare system in the world, takes 716 billion dollars out of
Medicare, and has the power to restrict and ration our medical treatment.
|
|
AMAC is fighting to keep our right to receive treatment from
our doctors without the interference of Federal bureaucrats.
|
|
Big government experiments like the "stimulus" and
ObamaCare have only increased the uncertainty and instability, and are core
reasons for the persistently high unemployment rate and why the household
incomes of Mature Americans have declined so much. Still, your government
continues its spending spree.
|
|
AMAC, The Association of Mature American Citizens, believes
we can do much better. As a steadily growing alternative to groups like
AARP, and with an expanding influence in the nation's capital, we aim to
champion the interests of Mature Americans, seniors, and prospective
retirees. We believe in religious freedom, free enterprise, and we support
common sense solutions to our nation's largest challenges.
|
|
Bottom line – Our livelihoods, our families' future
prosperity and our standards of living should not be threatened by bad
policies emanating from Washington, DC.

AMAC
Fights for You!

Dan Weber, President and Founder of AMAC, delivers remarks
with the House GOP Doctors Caucus the day the Supreme Court decided to
uphold ObamaCare. Standing with Dan are (from left to right)
Representatives, Paul Broun (GA-10th), John Fleming (LA-4th), Phil Gingrey
GA-11th), Joe Heck (NV-3rd), Ann Marie Buerkle (NY-25th), and Tim Murphy
(PA-18th).
|
|
As AMAC continues to grow and build a presence in DC, we're
able to stand up to the tremendous lobbying power of AARP on behalf of
concerned conservative Americans like you.
|
|
A senator told us, "You have got to grow AMAC!"
When we asked him why, he said, "You don't understand, when AARP comes
to our committees they say they represent older Americans. We know at times
they really don't, but because of their numbers we have got to listen to
them. When AMAC has one million members we can tell them they are not the
only one we will listen to."
|
|
AMAC can do something AARP will not do – we'll help replace
the horror of big government "solutions" with common sense
solutions. Now, more then ever, we need your help! 600,000 patriots have
already joined AMAC. Please help us reach our goal of 1,000,000
card-carrying AMAC Members!
