Opinions on AMAC, other senior-citizen retirement organizations?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Now that we're the age (I myself may not quite be there), I'm curious about retirement organizations.

We all hate AARP.

My mother has AMAC and proselytizes about it every chance she gets to us.

I don't mind AMAC, I'm sure, but when all this started becoming a big discussion about alternatives to AARP a few years back, I could swear there were a few other groups out there pushing themselves as alternatives, with ad campaigns and so on.  But I can't remember what they were.

What do you think of AMAC?

Do you know of other alternatives and what are they like?

Please help!

I've been a member of AMAC off and on and honestly we've never used any of their benefits. Some years I don't even bother to renew the membership.  Other than supposedly helping them to support conservative businesses and causes, that's really the only reason I joined and to also help offset the number of AARP members.

Thanks!  I am aware of their magazine which my mother loves.  And is obviously blatantly conservative.

BTW, mom doesn’t use the benefits either, but that’s because she’s a hermit and only goes out of the house to get her hair done.  Obviously happy to support conservative organizations.
