I have been an AARP member for 14 years, I'm done with them after this

32. Yes I am. And I seriously doubt that she is the only person ever thanked.

However in your case it may be the only one that you're aware of, therefore it seems from your perspective to be something new, unusual, out of the ordinary. Senator Fisher is from nebraska, the ad appeared in a Nebraska newspaper, it really doesn't make sense for them to thank a Nebraska senator in the Miami herald does it? By the same token, if they had some other local politician that they wanted to praise or thank for their hard work, they would do that in that politicians hometown paper, not yours, correct? Would this help to explain why you have seen no other recognition of this type in the past? Not everything is a conspiracy. But you do you. That kind of binary tribal thinking does not help to solve problems, it just drags them on indefinitely.

This entire thread has crossed the threshold into absurdity, and there's no point in continuing further. Clearly we have reached an impasse, and nothing further can be gained by continuing this exchange. But I know that reasonable people understand that AARP it's not the evil organization that you're making them out to be. Nor is it the evil organization that the far right makes them out to be.
