AARP and AMAC

Founded as the American Association of Retired Persons in 1958, the organization has a reputation of being a huge liberal lobbying group, but is it?

Today the organization is known simply as the AARP, and it has grown—a lot. To give you an idea of the reach of this organization, consider that the magazine and bulletin they send to members are the two largest-circulation publications in the United States. The current CEO of AARP earns more than $1.5 million in salary and benefits.
