Tell me about the Association of Mature American Citizens

[P&R Fan]

Missus P&R Fan, who is 52, got a trial membership card from the Association of Mature American Citizens. It is for those folks who do not like the AARP, which, among other views, is very anti-gun. Won't go into political views here, but this organization sounds like one we could support. Anybody here a member? If so, what benefits does it have, like discounts?

I'm only 48, so I probably don't qualify. That, plus the fact the word "mature" has never been used to define me. But Missus Fan may fit right in.

Interested in your thoughts on this organization.
Jim

I've heard good things about them. I wouldn't give AARP a dime, they are nothing more than a shill lobby for insurance companies and anti-gunner organizations.

 

[Mcwsky09]

Mature citizens seem to be in fairly short supply at least if the popular media is any gauge.

I am a member & have not tried out the benefits but the do look to be a genuinely conservative organization.

 

[TOM BECKWITH]

As manyguns, I am a member primarily because it is anti AARP and will work for conservative issues.

 

[Mike McLellan]

I've heard that they are rogue off-shoot of the, now defunct, AARP tactical response unit. They're a pretty secret bunch that's into the darker side of bird-watching, devil worship, and ceramics. My sources of information may be wrong, of course.

I don't guess I have heard of the Association of Mature American Citizens. I thought I was mature but I guess there is lots of things I never heard of.

I'm a member, primarily because they fight for conservative causes on the behalf of seniors. I haven't taken advantage of their insurance or discounts. You can find out about benefits here: Benefits - AMAC, Inc.

Just joined and trying the auto insurance with a pretty good difference in premiums. Couldn't stomach AARP views/backing and thinking I care/believe what actors think/say. AMAC fits my world views much better. Send in the black helicopters.

I shopped 'til I almost dropped for Medicare supplement insurance. AMAC was $15 to $25 per month cheaper than anybody else I contacted. AMAC beat AARP by $24.87 per month. My 7 hour stay in the emergency room 12/23/12 cost me $0.00 . Doctor, hospital, and ambulance priced out at $1288 per hour.

They also offer lots of discounts I haven't used or needed yet.

I will have absolutely nothing to do with AARP. If they are stupid enough to send me any of their return postage junk they get it back...wrapped around a brick.

The Association of Mature American Citizens told me I can never join so I wrote back to them calling them poo poo heads.

Don't ever grow up, Sip.

I'm not sure if it is worthwhile to join, unless you just want to make a statement of non-support of anti-gun AARP. I've been with AAA for years, mostly for towing in case of an emergency, and the discounts I can get at motels, etc. seem to be the same as given to AARP or this newer organization. Maybe if you need an alternative for supplemental health insurance or auto insurance it would be worth joining.

Now that I am retired I am re-looking at all organizations that I pay membership fees to. As a Life Member of the NRA that one is already paid for, and the only other one I can think of right now is the American Motorcyclist Association and I am re-thinking whether or not to continue my membership. I can't think of any reason to join any other new organizations right now.

Do you have to "prospect" for GOF? I've been called a GOB but I can't find a chapter in my area.

Yes you do have to prospect-at least in my chapter Bring your lawn mower
