AARP was founded in 1958 meaning they have a 55 year head start on AMAC.

AMAC is a NEW senior organization with over half a million actual members (not an estimate) and growing greatly everyday. I don't believe this is anything to be embarrassed about. If you have been with us from the begininng I think you would have a completely different outlook on this. Although I think you are here early enough to be part of our growth!

It is truly a David vs Goliath scenario! It's no quick path to go from 0 members to 40,000,000 but in 6 years we forged our way to over half a million and we are proud of our accomplishment. We doubled our membership last year and if this trend continues we will be there sooner then you know.

If you have any ideas or suggestions to help our growth, feel free to send 'em my way! Please post them in the Suggestions Category.

Just a comment from a new member:

I am embarrassed to advertise "575, 000 members since 2007" on the emails I recieve.  When I heard yesterday that there are 30,000,000 Christians in the US that could feasibly vote and if you got only 10% of them that would be 3,000,000 !!  Sounds like a lot of work to do prior to next election !! AARP according to Wikipedia has 40,000,000 members. The advertising, promotions, etc to join AMAC should concentrate harder to get these people to AMAC vs AARP which is netoriously leberal/democrat.

 

Exerpt from Wikipedia:

 

According to the 2011 Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches, from which members in the United States are combined with Canadian members, and of the National Council of Churches, the five largest denominations are:[16]

* note this does include canadians but still !!

 

How do we say we are "The voice of 50+"........we have a long way......

Ron--I agree with Dan that AMAC has nothing to be embarrassed about.

To answer your question, " How do we say we are "The voice of 50+..?", AMAC can say that we are the voice of the 50+ because AMAC is the voice of those 50+. Not all of those AMAC speaks for have become members of AMAC but I believe AMAC is advocating for their best interests nonetheless. The more who do become members, the more impact that voice will have and so I am eager to see the relatively new organization grow.

Glad to have you on board, Ron.

I went to the AARP Facebook page and all the recomendation posts are disgruntled AARP members complaining about AARP.  I left a recommendation to join AMAC.  Use the AARP Facebook page to advertise about AMAC.  Post your own recommendation to join AMAC.

I'm not sure how close they monitor that page but it is possible that they might delete those kind of posts.

Another effective way to help spread the word of AMAC is to share our page and posts to your Facebook page if you don't do this already!

Please source this quote respectfully, his name was Ronald Reagan....I know you know that, but spelling counts, and we have to maintain the highest levels possible.

Thanks for ALL you do.

Exciting stuff! We pretty much doubled in membership in less than 9 months if we keep that up we will be AARP size in no time.

You are so right, Carl!  Christians need to join AMAC because AARP does not represent or uphold our values.  This is why I have been ignoring my

AARP letters and finally decided to join AMAC, the christian alternative!  Maybe we AMAC members need to let others know about this by word of mouth

whenever we get the chance!

To pass along the word of AMAC, you can do as I have done in the past. I leave my magazine at different doctors offices that I go to. Have also left magazines at Jiffy Lube, and a few barber shops. AMAC will give you extra copies if you are an Ambassador to distribute, just ask...

No posts on this since 2013, but now that we are into 2016, AMAC keeps saying they have "1,300,000 members", but have been saying that for 5 or 6 months now... has membership growth slowed down or stalled? When will we hit 1.4 million? Is there a chart of membership growth we can have access to somewhere? Thanks.
