TENS OF THOUSANDS quit AARP over health care “reform.”

CBS News has learned that up to 60,000 people have cancelled their AARP memberships since July 1, angered over the group’s position on health care. Elaine Guardiani has been with AARP for 14 years, and said, “I’m extremely disappointed in AARP.”

Retired nurse Dale Anderson has 12 years with AARP and said, “I don’t wanna be connected with AARP.”

It’s probably a lot bigger than the Whole Foods boycott, but it’ll probably get a lot less press.
