I think most joined for the same reason as I did in 2005 for the travel and other discounts. But I remain a member because AARP publishes an outstanding monthly newspaper called Bulletin on news issues for seniors. They also a very good magazine but personally, I think there is too much written about tv and movie celebrities.

Most of those articles, and others, are free on the aarp website but the articles are changed so often you can miss them and have a hard time finding them again. I actually keep both and pass them to my friends. There is a regular department on scams that is consistently informative and the Medicare coverage by AARP cannot be topped.

I hate all the mail you get with insurance offers but I just throw it away. I once attended a "member event" and had a great time. Overall, I feel my membership, at $15 a year, is well worth it.

How much did AARP donate to the Democratic Party in 2008?

That is a good question that has answers in lots of different places. First of all it is important to note that, as the AARP says; the "AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization with a membership that helps people 50+ . . . the AARP does not endorse candidates for public office or make contributions to either political campaigns or candidates." So strictly speaking the answer to your question is "nothing." But the AARP is an aggressive lobbying organization on behalf of its membership. And it has placed commercial advertising on current issues particularly Social Security and Medicare which are of importance to its membership. And officers and directors of the AARP, as independent citizens, can make political contributions to political parties and candidates for election, just as you can. Those contributions usually follow the overall goals of the organization, as would be expected.
