I have been a member of AARP for some time, taking advantage of a few of their "benefits."
However, I am now deciding whether to continue my membership.
As a member, I have access to the top eschelon of the organization and have used the access to voice my objection to their many political stands with which I disagree.
Now, however, it seems that a deaf ear has been turned to those who don't get in lock-step with their agenda.
They have been losing members in droves, and have decided not to care.
It's an easy choice for me, Joe, I have only been a member since May and have not used my membership for anything yet. All I'm losing is my membership fee.
I can see how the same choice would be tough for you. I have a feeling if I were in your place I would be researching my other options first to see if I actually could take a stand against them.
I have to question myself - if I was retired and using my membership actively - would I be able to make that choice? I hope so, but I honestly don't know.

Methinks me association with them is short lived.
I will make my card look like yours.

I heard if you send your AARP card to ASA, they'll give you a discount on a membership.
Well now there's a thought!
