Not that there was any doubt about it, but a new email campaign by AARP’s liberal Democrat-dominated Washington staff makes it crystal clear that the leadership of the 40-million member seniors group is going all-out for Obamacare and the House Democrats’ version of it, H.R. 3200.
The email alert is especially interesting because AARP is a tax-exempt non-profit that is barred from participating in partisan campaigns, though it is allowed to do a limited amount of legislative lobbying of Congress. No doubt the AARP leadership in Washington will argue they aren’t doing anything they aren’t allowed to do as a 501(c)(4), but this new email campaign throws the spirit of the law right out the window.
But wait, there is more. Erick Erickson at Red State details the steps by which AARP’s Washington staff has moved the organization to its present position, and notes the growing opposition within the membership.
