AMERICAN SENIORS ASSN. HONORS SENATOR CORKER
ATLANTA -- "U.S. Sen. Bob Corker is to be commended for declaring he would never join the AARP -- an organization he says 'has done as much to hurt our country for the long term as any organization that I know,'" says Stuart Barton, President of the American Seniors Association (ASA) representing hundreds of thousands of members nationwide.
"This national lawmaker's criticism of the left-wing AARP is much appreciated. We intend to present Senator Corker with our first "Defenders of Seniors Award" for his principled stand against socialized medicine as well as for exposing the AARP's betrayal of senior citizens and, indeed, all citizens through its blind ideological support of Obamacare," Barton says.
"The AARP sold out to Democrat congressional leaders and the White House. Senator Corker is the latest voice in a growing chorus of criticism of both Obamacare and its AARP cheerleader. Indeed, the AARP continues to lose thousands and thousands of members because it stabbed seniors in the back by supporting a huge Medicare cut, billions of dollars of new taxes on medical devices and prescription drugs, and government controls that destroy the traditional doctor-patient relationship," Barton says.
"The ASA continues to receive many torn-up AARP cards in our mail and our alternative group's membership is rapidly growing every day," Barton notes. "We salute Senator Corker, and extend to him a complimentary ASA membership."
