The sleeves are rolled up and the gloves are coming off!

October 23, 2012 in Our World

When there is real work that MUST be done, there is only one way to get it done. Jump in with both feet and ask others to do the same.
It has been tough but we here at the Over60Exchange have finally pulled ourselves up from the muck of political opinions fostered by special interests. The quicksand suction of political partisanship and truth bending is very strong and hard to overcome but we did it. This effort has not been easy but it is well worth it. Now, we are extending our hands to you to do the same. Here's why -
Our country's problems demand attention that transcends politics.The very survival of our country as a world leader in freedom and individual success is at great risk of being replaced with mediocrity and averageness. Anyone who has ever run in a race quickly learns that it is much better to be running in front of the crowd than to be in the middle or at the end. Only the front runners have a clear vision and steady pace, while everyone else is either sprinting or walking. As a country, we are in danger of losing our front runner position. If this is what you want please ignore what we are telling you. On the other hand, if you intuitively feel that what we are sharing with you is true, roll up your sleeves, we have a challenge for you.
The Over60Exchange has an opportunity to become a real honest alternative to the AARP. In meetings all across America , the AARP is demonstrating that it no longer effectively represents the grassroot issues of its members as it once did. The AARP is in the insurance business and unfortunately they are also too close to the ugly politics associated with special interests while trying to get their share of government dole outs. Now, there is nothing wrong with selling insurance but we do think there is something big time wrong with taking member money and using it for issues they do not support.


It is very simple.
Here at the Over60Exchange we believe that older Americans need a place where they can go for information and tools that they can use to stay active, productive and earning income. We do not believe that a person should be turned into a 'vegetable' just because of age. We believe that people should be allowed to contribute at any age and to be fairly compensated for what they can do. Our country needs the experience and knowledge of people who have worked decades in productive employment. Further, we are not advocates of retirement in the sense of the word where one fully stops working or being productive. We believe staying active and productive for as long as possible, whether you need to earn money or not is very healthy both physically and mentally. This belief does not eliminate volunteerism. We believe that being a volunteer is just as important as ever but we also know that each person must have financial strength too. To this end, our goals are to support active, happy and rewarding lifestyles.
Since we first created the Over60Exchange, it has changed dramatically. Our vision is for something truly unique and powerful. Each day we are a little closer to this goal but we still have much to do to accomplish this. If we wait to have everything perfect, it will be too late to help you and others like you, so we are telling you to become a member now. It's no cost to join. We are constantly working on new content and technologies to give our members the ability and support needed to live active and productive lives for as long as they choose.


Here is the real danger and why taking action today is so important.
There are forces at work in our country that do not want older people to remain active and productive. These forces would rather that we all just move aside and sit in a rocking chair or find a quiet place out of the way. If you still have something to share and give in terms of your experience, education, skills, talents and abilities, this 'step aside' attitude should greatly trouble you. For during this period, these same forces are working on ways to separate you from what you have earned whether it is through increased taxes, new fees, higher costs, reduced benefits or too many other ways to list here. This is the danger we are all facing as we age. If we sit back and 'vegetate' we will lose. On the other hand if we stay active, productive and remain a force in the workplace, we also remain a powerful force to protect ourselves while helping our country. This is the choice we are all facing today.
Pass the word to join the Over60Exchange, today. Forget that we do not have everything perfect. This will come with time and money. What we need now are numbers- tens of thousands or even millions of new members to join. With numbers we will become a powerful voice for helping each other and for helping America.
