Tens of thousands of trees in the Amazon rainforest have been wiped out to prepare for a global summit on saving the environment, the latest in seeming climate-change hypocrisy.
In northern Brazil, near the city of Belém, a strip of rainforest about eight miles long was cleared to build a four-lane highway in advance of the COP30 climate summit that began on Monday. The highway, dubbed Avenida Liberdade, is intended to handle the surge of delegates and dignitaries expected for the gathering, but has drawn sharp rebuke from climate activists and fueled perceptions of hypocrisy about climate change concerns.
“But It’s Sustainable,” Say Defenders
Defenders of the project say it includes “sustainable” features like solar-powered lighting, bike lanes, and wildlife crossings that will provide a climate-friendly example for future projects. However, critics are pointing out the blatant irony of cutting down a protected rainforest for a climate conference that is itself aimed, among other things, at halting deforestation.
“They ripped the hell out of the Rainforest of Brazil to build a four-lane highway for Environmentalists to travel. It’s become a big scandal!” U.S. President Donald Trump, who has long been a critic of climate change activism, posted to Truth Social on Sunday.
Unlike his predecessor, Trump’s administration is not sending an official delegation to the United Nations-backed conference. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told the *Daily Mail* that the president would “not jeopardize our country’s economic and national security to pursue vague climate goals that are killing other countries.”
The clearing of the forest has raised the ire of both climate change activists and skeptics alike.
Eight Miles of Rainforest Chopped Away
“We’re looking at eight miles of a virgin tropical Amazon rainforest were clear cut there, so that they could put in this highway to allow the private jets and to allow all the SUVs and limousines of all the world leaders and celebrities that are pumping in here the next two weeks, they could have a freer time getting around the city,” Marc Morano, Director of Communications for the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow, told the Just the News, No Noise TV show.
CFACT promotes a “positive, alternative voice” on the environment and advocates for market forces and technological innovation to overcome environmental challenges. “So they had to cut, in other words, they had to cut the forest down so they could bring more people to show…you can’t make these kinds of absurdities up,” he added.
Even those on the other side of the climate debate spectrum slammed the move. A Canadian climate activist who advocates for a Green New Deal pointed out that “A new four-lane highway that cuts through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest was cut for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém,” Mike Hudema posted to X. “You can’t be a climate leader if you’re cutting down one of the world’s greatest climate solutions to do it.”
“Do as I Say, Not as I Do”
This is not the first time that climate leaders have drawn criticism for failing to live up to their own standards. For example, former Biden administration climate czar, failed presidential candidate, and former Secretary of State John Kerry, has frequently come under fire for his family’s heavy use of a fuel-guzzling private jet while he attended climate conferences aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
A Fox News investigation found that Kerry’s family jet had released more than 300 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere just a year into the Biden administration. President Biden had appointed Kerry as his administration’s climate czar shortly after he took office in January 2021.
At the same time, Kerry called the “climate crisis” an “urgent national security threat” and proposed shutting down power plants and implementing a carbon credit system to limit emissions.
Most famously, former Vice President Al Gore, who made millions on global warming hysteria, like Kerry and so many liberal media figures, doesn’t practice what he preaches. The National Center for Public Policy Research, a 501(c)3, nonpartisan, independent conservative think tank, reported that “Al Gore’s Nashville home consumed 20 times more electricity than the average American household” and that “Gore guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years.”
Locals Left Without Compensation for Losses
Local residents say the damage is immediate. One acai berry harvester, Claudio Verequete, told the BBC that trees he relied on for income “have already been cut down” and he has “no compensation.”
Conservationists also warn about the “fish-bone effect” of the road: once the main corridor is carved through the forest, new access routes follow, fragmenting the ecosystem and increasing deforestation risks, the BBC reported.
The Brazilian state government of Pará, where the conference is being held, has floated such a highway since at least 2012. However, prior attempts were shelved primarily due to environmental concerns.
The infrastructure project only overcame the backlog after Belém was chosen as the site of the climate conference. In addition to the new highway, the government is expanding airport capacity and building a new city park.

SAME GUY PSEIDONYM?
President Donald Trump is more popular than both Barack Obama and George W. Bush at the same time during their second terms according to an overall average of current polling from RealClearPolitics.
The average approval rating of presidents since the turn of the century typically hovers between 40 percent and 45 percent for the first year or two of their second term. At this point in his second term, Obama had an approval rating of 41.7 percent. Bush was even lower at 38.2 percent. Trump, meanwhile, is sitting at 42.4 percent.
Although Joe Biden only had one term, his approval rating was slightly lower at 42.0 percent at this time in 2021. Biden’s approval rating eventually dropped to 37.2 percent by July of the next year and failed to recover. He left office as one of the least popular presidents in history.
Trump has consistently polled above his two most recent second-term predecessors since taking office again in January – a noteworthy accomplishment given the relentless smear campaign he has faced from the corporate media and elected Democrats. While Obama enjoyed nonstop positive coverage from the press, he was still less popular at this point than Trump, who has endured an unending media onslaught.
Several conservative commentators have noted the significance of Trump’s robust approval advantage over Obama and Bush. “HELL FREEZES OVER!!!” conservative radio commentator Larry Elder posted on X in August. “’Fascist,’ ‘Racist,’ hated-by-media President Trump, at this point in his second term, has a HIGHER average approval rating than did [Bush] and [Obama] at the same point in their second term.”
Conservative social media influencer Bo Loudon shared the same sentiment over the summer.
“President Trump has a much higher approval rating at this point in his second term than Barack Obama or George W. Bush, per RealClearPolitics,” Loudon said. “Why? EASY… Because Trump isn’t part of the swamp… He’s DRAINING the swamp!”
Also worth noting, Trump’s composite approval rating as measured by RealClearPolitics may be dragged down by inaccurate or outright dishonest polls designed to hurt the President politically. As AMAC Newsline previously reported, the polling group InsiderAdvantage has consistently provided survey results showing that a majority of Americans approve of Trump’s performance as president. Each poll conducted by InsiderAdvantage has shown Trump with a positive approval rating since returning to office. The most recent in late September had the president with a 52 percent approval rating.
InsiderAdvantage has a proven track record of being one of the most accurate pollsters, especially during the 2024 presidential election. The group’s last polling data for Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina showing Trump winning all those states was accurate, while other pollsters had Trump losing several of these states.
The polling group provided its most recent survey results as Senate Democrats blocked a House-passed funding bill in a move that eventually led to a record-breaking government shutdown that lasted 43 days. Florida’s Voice reporter Eric Daugherty said that InsiderAdvantage’s late September polling showed that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer lost the messaging battle over government funding before it started.
“President Trump’s approval rating was just found to be at +6 POINTS, 52%-46%, conducted among Americans while Democrats were barreling us toward a government shutdown, per InsiderAdvantage. Chuck LOST,” Daughterty said.
While post-shutdown polling won’t be available for at least a few more days, Trump may well receive another bump following the end of that debacle. Democrats’ historic unpopularity likewise continues to boost the President.

What you need to know about the climate deniers speaking at Turning Point Action's annual convention and their affiliated groups
In addition to the marquee names, the conference’s lineup of right-wing speakers includes a smattering of lesser-known but influential figures
Special PROGRAMSCLIMATE & ENERGY
WRITTEN BY ILANA BERGER
PUBLISHED 06/14/24
Right-wing youth organization Turning Point USA's political advocacy arm Turning Point Action is hosting a convention this weekend in Detroit, which will feature an array of seasoned climate deniers and conspiracy theorists as speakers.
The People’s Convention will run from June 14 to June 16.
For his part, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk has repeatedly claimed that climate change is a hoax and spread false claims about extreme weather and climate change initiatives. He has said that “climate change [as a] political issue” is “the biggest threat to our civilization” and pushed the Great Reset conspiracy theory to his TPUSA audience. Kirk recently lashed out at another conservative organization, the Young America’s Foundation, for taking issue with the GOP's non-existent climate platform.
The headliner at this weekend’s event is former President Donald Trump, who (in addition to withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and rolling back nearly 100 other environmental protection policies during his term) has repeatedly minimized or denied the threat of climate change, most recently saying that sea level rise would be a good thing because it would create more beachfront property. He has also gone after renewable energy, claiming at one rally last September that “windmills are causing whales to die” and “driving them crazy.”
Other speakers at The People’s Convention — such as Candace Owens, Jack Posobiec, and Benny Johnson — have also spread climate denial or made misleading claims about climate change and the policies attempting to address it.
But the conference has some lesser-known speakers — including those who head major right-wing institutions — who have also promoted some outlandish claims about climate change and climate policy.
- ## Aubrey Shines
- Aubrey Shines, a Florida-based minister, falsely claimed in a video posted to his Facebook page that the Democratic National Committee is promoting “climate control,” saying, “They’re going to have to go into third-world countries and make sure abortions are happening on a regular basis.”Shines wrote that the “DNC’s oxymoron agenda all in the name of climate control” is “targeting Blacks in America and Africa.” The rant was in response to comments from then-presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. In reality, Sanders had replied to a question about climate change and “curb[ing] population growth” by expressing his support for reproductive freedom for women who don’t have it. Facebook, [9/12/19; The Washington Post, 9/5/19]
- In a 2015 interview with right-wing radio host Steve Gruber, Shines said incorrectly that the science that establishes man-made climate change “just isn’t there.” He then claimed that “you have a very diverse scientific community that don’t even adhere to and subscribe to this alleged global warming piece.” WJIM, *The Steve Gruber Show*, [8/27/15]
- Shines also has a show on the far-right network Real America’s Voice, and in March, he joined TPUSA as a member of its advisory council. The announcement that Shines would join the council also praised his show, America Shines, which includes episodes such as “Homosexuals tried to create a fraudulent gay holocaust.” Turning Point USA, [3/14/24; Real America’s Voice, America Shines, 6/14/24]
- ## Rebecca Weber
- Rebecca Weber, the CEO of the Association of Mature American Citizens, a right-wing member advocacy group, has attacked climate policy. In a February episode of her podcast, Better for America, titled “The Climate Cartel Running the White House”, Weber spins efforts to update energy efficiency standards for some household appliances as Biden’s “war on your home appliances.” She interviews Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) who also falsely claims that the Biden administration “went after” chocolate milk and hot showers. AMAC, *Better for America*, [2/7/24]
- Weber has repeated the debunked claim that the country is no longer energy independent. Speaking with the president of the U.S. Oil and Gas Association, Weber said her members “recognize that under Donald Trump, that America was energy independent, and it was looking good. … It makes no sense that we have a president today who does not want to really get us back to where we — or improve things.” In 2023, the U.S. produced more crude oil than ever. AMAC, *Better for America*, [2/28/24; Media Matters, 3/7/24]
- AMAC regularly pushes climate change denial on its website. One article claims that “experts say ‘climate change’ is a hoax.” Another amplifies a letter from a group of climate deniers claiming that the “assumption that catastrophic global warming follows from the burning of fossil fuel and requires immediate action” is “unsupported.” The website has also featured an article from Fox contributor Tammy Bruce, who wrote that “Democrats are feverishly whipping up hysteria about global warming in an effort to induce a national panic attack and frighten us into surrendering more of our freedoms” while the world was being plagued by extreme heat during the summer of 2023. AMAC, [8/18/23, 12/29/23, 7/28/23; Media Matters, 8/7/23]
- ## Thomas Klingenstein
- Thomas Klingenstein, the Claremont Institute's chairman and a Republican mega-donor, is a major contributor to Club for Growth Action, a right-wing super PAC that has “dabbled in climate denial,” according to The Guardian. Club for Growth has opposed even the most meager climate policy, such as the package that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy put forward in 2020 that included the expansion of a tax credit for carbon capture and storage technologies and the initiation of a global effort to plant 1 trillion trees. Club for Growth was founded by Stephen Moore, a former Trump adviser who publicly pushes climate skepticism and energy misinformation and co-wrote the treasury chapter of Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership. The Guardian, [8/4/23; Politico News 2/13/20; Media Matters, 2/27/24, 9/15/23; Forbes, 3/11/15; DeSmog, accessed 6/14/24; Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]
- The Claremont Institute, a California-based think tank, received funding from the Scaife and Bradley foundations, which also fund many other climate denial think tanks. Climate scientist Michael Mann told Observer that Claremont “is a number of these lofty sounding institutions that is essentially a front group for the Koch groups and the Scaife foundations.” Observer, [2/8/19; E&E News, 6/26/20; Rolling Stone, 1/12/22]
- Claremont fellows include climate deniers who have launched bad-faith attacks against climate policy, as well as scientists and activists. Claremont Institute senior fellow Jeremy Carl “accused the environmental movement of a ‘religious fervor’ and said the decision ‘to halt and reverse global warming’ must ‘be considered apart from the research of environmental scientists,’” according to Observer. Former fellow Raheem Kassam is also the former editor-in-chief of Breitbart London and was an adviser to right-wing U.K. politician and climate denier Nigel Farage. Claremont senior fellow Christopher Caldwell complained at length about climate activism delegitimizing climate science and insisted that scientists could not be political activists. “The authority of science wanes in equal measure as the political engagement of the individual scientist deepens,” he wrote. Another Claremont fellow, Joel Kotkin, referenced the idea of climate policies causing a “green Jim Crow.” (In reality, pollution and extreme weather often disproportionately impact communities of color as a result of systemic racism and the legacy of Jim Crow.) The Atlantic, [6/5/17; Observer, 2/8/19; DeSmog, 8/1/19, 6/4/24; The Washington Post, 11/2/21; Claremont Review of Books, accessed 6/13/24; The American Mind, 6/12/24]

Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) is a United States-based conservative advocacy organization and interest group, founded in 2007. Its president and founder is Daniel C. Weber, a retired insurance agency owner.[1][2]
AMAC is a membership organization for people age 50 and over.[3] The group calls itself "the conservative alternative to the AARP."[2] It is one of several organizations to position itself as conservative rivals to the AARP; others include the American Seniors Association and 60 Plus Association.[3][4][5]
In 2014, the group is based in Lady Lake, Florida.[4]
Political activities
AMAC describes itself as "vigorously conservative" and gained support from talk show host Glenn Beck and other conservative figures.[6] AMAC strongly opposes the Affordable Care Act (ACA)[7][8] and has pushed for its repeal.[4] In March 2014, AMAC claimed a membership of 1.1 million members, up from 40,000 in 2008, which it attributed to backlash over the ACA.[4]
AMAC supports a plan for Social Security which would gradually increase the earliest retirement age to 64 (from 62) and "guarantee cost-of-living increases in a tiered structure based on income."[4] AMAC supports the oil and gas industry, claiming that they "are safer for the environment than ever." The group's president, Dan Weber, called for a rollback of Obama administration policies to promote clean energy.[9]
The AMAC has a volunteer "delegate" program, aiming to select an AMAC member in each congressional district across the country to meet and lobby members of Congress.[10]
In February 2017 AMAC issued a warning to the upcoming 2017 Academy Awards ceremony to not tolerate speeches against President Donald Trump, threatening to launch a boycott of theaters.[11]
Political analyst Josh Bernstein is currently a National Spokesperson for AMAC, which sponsors his weekly political talk show. ^[12]

by John Grimaldi – ‘It’s about time we use the resources God gave us’ – [fun fact he uses 30 yo pix w/ hair in sr cit www, or it's dan weber?] feb 2014
WASHINGTON, DC, Feb 14 – “The U.S. sits on what is perhaps the biggest cache of oil and gas in the world, yet we cry poverty. It’s about time we use the resources God gave us to pull ourselves out of the hole we are in,” according to Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens.
Weber said he believes the federal government needs to reconsider its “green agenda” in the light of the technological progress the energy sector has made in the development of clean recovery systems.[CCS?]
“It’s not only about jobs. Indeed, North Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation at 2.6% and for five years in a row has ranked number one in job creation in the U.S. due entirely to the million barrels of oil a day it is producing on private lands. But consider the fact that if we were to fully develop our vast national resources, it would have a profound, positive impact on the economy in general.”
Worker compensation in North Dakota has soared as a result of the energy boom in the state. “As Senator Ted Cruz noted in announcing his proposed American Energy Renaissance Act this week, those employed in the oil and gas industry there earn $49.90 an hour, Wal-Mart is paying workers at their stores $17.50 an hour and McDonalds offers $300 sign-up bonuses to new hires at their stores.”
Cruz did not miss the opportunity to call on President Obama to approve the Keystone Pipeline. “If you are a Birkenstock-wearing, tree-hugging, Greenpeace activist, you should love the Keystone Pipeline.” He pointed out that not only would it create many new high-paying jobs, it would provide a safer option for transporting oil from Canada, a reference to the dangers of moving the oil by rail.
Weber concluded that “a lot has happened in the past decade to improve energy development prospects for the country. Oil and gas exploration and recovery are safer for the environment than ever before and it will save our bacon as far as economic growth is concerned. Creation of alternative fuels is a commendable goal, but it will take decades to become a reality—time we can’t afford while there are so many people out of work, while our national debt soars unchecked, while our economy is in dire need of a jump start.It’s time that we begin to ‘think bigger than Keystone,’ as Ted Cruz put it.”

is with a heavy heart, the national AMAC leadership team must share that AMAC’s thoughtful, kind and visionary founder – a leader in his time, other-regarding and invariably inspiring – has left us. Daniel C. Weber, beloved to all who knew him, was an American patriot, entrepreneur, father, grandfather and undeterred believer in America’s exceptionalism. He died on February 3rd, surrounded by family.
Dan’s vigor was limitless, love of others a hallmark, faith as true and strong as faith comes. Forever grateful, he believed in the sanctity of life, solemnity of the Constitution, power of the American idea, and promise that one, earnest, motivated soul could change the world. He embraced moral obligations, including the need to rise each day and do all he could, while he could. And he did.
As a boy, the third child of six, Dan was up before the sun, delivering newspapers. He learned hard work pays off, rewards are earned not given, and America’s promise is real.
Blessed with good teachers at Catholic and public schools, he never forgot timeless lessons. Honesty, decency, fairness, and hard work matter. High purpose is worth embracing. Give without asking, love without limit, do more than required, and keep your bearing.
At age 16, no money to his name, he believed in the possible. He embraced, soon embodied, the American dream. He started a business with three friends. Their landscaping venture grew, allowing him to bank returns, buy a car, and begin dreaming bigger.
If business was good, no value trumped honor. Two days after graduating from high school, Dan enlisted in the United States Air Force. Motivated more by duty than daring, he served four years, before his honorable discharge – at one point selected “Airman of the Month” on a base of 5,000. Dan made little of such things.
Before long, Dan had married Judy, was ensconced in raising a family of five – while owning and operating a fast-growing family insurance business. Putting faith in hard work, honest relationships, and his fellow American, Dan ran that successful business for 30 years.
In 2007, upon retirement, Dan made a new promise – to America and the future. America allowed him to fulfill his dreams – now he gave himself to assuring dreams of others, sheltered by America’s unbounded freedoms, would come to life. He founded AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens.
Daring comes in many forms. Stepping into the world of helping America’s seniors – and preserving America’s timeless values – by creating a conservative association for Americans over 50 was daring.
When AMAC came to life, conservative principles were in retreat. The freedoms of speech, religion, and assembly, right to keep and bear arms, limited government, lower taxes, solvent federal coffers, sustainable social security, disability and health care, appreciation for national security, border security and the private sector, as well as insistence on public accountability – were under intense pressure. Dan was undeterred. He leaned into those fights, never flagged.
Today, a dozen years later, AMAC is the fastest-growing conservative group in America, helping seniors through advice, advocacy and countless direct benefits. AMAC boasts two million members, battles for America’s freedoms, traditions and ideals every day, has given a voice to conservative seniors, and is on course to help preserve the best about America for generations to come.
All this comes back to Dan Weber, to his vision, faith in America, gratitude for manifold blessings, resolve to do what he could while he could for all he could. Dan embodied the American dream, humble and optimistic, resilient and resolved, hopeful and quick to give. He was never without a ready smile, never without appreciation for good fortune, never without faith in America, his fellow Americans, and his loving God. His example is of belief and can-do, a spirit embodied in his creation of the AMAC Foundation, a vibrant organization dedicated to the well-being of America’s seniors.
By such men are we taught and treated to what may be possible, inspired to do our part in our time, reminded that the future is what we make it – bright if we follow their example.
Dan, we will miss you beyond words – but we are so grateful for the example you set, for putting us on the right course in times of trial. Our promise is to carry “the good fight” forward, preserving America’s best for those ahead, and making your AMAC army ever stronger, bigger and more resolved to see the mission through. Thank you, until we meet again.

radical right-wing commentator Josh Bernstein posted
last night in which he said that he is praying to God that Attorney General William Barr will teach “scumbags” like Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Andrew McCabe a lesson by putting them to death for actions he baselessly alleges to be treason.
Bernstein was outraged by reports that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort is set to be transferred to New York’s Rikers Island prison facility and responded by once again demanding the execution of supposed members of the so-called “deep state.”
“I’m so, so sick of this double standard B.S., two-tier justice system,” Bernstein fumed. “I hope to God and I pray to God that William Barr does the right thing and puts these ever-loving pieces of crap, deviant, scumbag you-know-whats where they belong.”
“Let’s fry these bastards,” he added. “Let’s get out Old Sparky and sit each one down. Boom, there you go. Who’s next? Boom. Page, you’re next. OK, Strzok, you’re next. McCabe, you’re next. I don’t care … These scumbags—and that’s what they are—need to be taught a lesson.”

The Rebirth of American Patriotism
This is why the Association of Mature American Citizens was created. It was right after millions of our citizens began a spontaneous movement called the “Tea Party”. We saw what was happening to our country: the growth of massive government, the eroding of our personal liberty, the attacks on religious freedom, and the terrible burden of the National Debt being put on the backs of our children and grandchildren.
AMAC stands here to fight for our God-given rights and protect our American values! We stand guard for our Constitution and the freedom it guarantees.
If you have ever felt the calling to get involved, look no further than AMAC Action. We need to come together, now more than ever, to preserve the values that have made America the greatest nation. As an AMAC member, you can volunteer to become a Delegate or part of a local Chapter to help spread the word of AMAC at a local level. The more members we have, the more weight AMAC carries when advocating for your rights in Congress. See how to get involved below.

| AMAC President Dan Weber supports Senate Bill 1030 - The Retirement Freedom Act |
|---|
This timely piece of legislation restores the rights of seniors to make important decisions that will have lasting effects on their personal health care choices and retirement security. Under current law, Medicare and Social Security benefits are unnecessarily linked. On turning 65, one must enroll in Medicare Part A (1) to continue receiving monthly Social Security benefits if one took early retirement, or (2) claim the Social Security benefit at the Normal Retirement Age (NRA). While Medicare is meant to give security and freedom to its beneficiaries, the linkage of Social Security benefits to Medicare benefits restricts seniors' ability to opt out of Medicare Part A. The Retirement Freedom Act severs the link between Medicare and Social Security by allowing seniors to opt out of Medicare Part A without jeopardizing their eligibility for Social Security benefits. S. 1030 also rectifies another issue with current law. Right now, if individuals choose to withdraw from Part A in favor of a private insurance plan, they are required to pay back their previous expenses covered by Part A, as well as all Social Security benefits they have received. The looming threat of costly repayments is an unnecessary penalty that keeps seniors in a plan they may not want. The Retirement Freedom Act eliminates the financial burden of withdrawing from Medicare Part A and protects seniors' access to their Social Security benefits. |

**AMAC: We need a new energy policy**
'It's about time we use the resources God gave us'
WASHINGTON, DC, Feb 14 - "The U.S. sits on what is perhaps the biggest cache of oil and gas in the world, yet we cry poverty. It's about time we use the resources God gave us to pull ourselves out of the hole we are in," according to Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens. Weber said he believes the federal government needs to reconsider its "green agenda" in the light of the technological progress the energy sector has made in the development of clean recovery systems. "It's not only about jobs. Indeed, North Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation at 2.6% and for five years in a row has ranked number one in job creation in the U.S. due entirely to the million barrels of oil a day it is producing on private lands. But consider the fact that if we were to fully develop our vast national resources, it would have a profound, positive impact on the economy in general." Worker compensation in North Dakota has soared as a result of the energy boom in the state. "As Senator Ted Cruz noted in announcing his proposed American Energy Renaissance Act this week, those employed in the oil and gas industry there earn $49.90 an hour, Wal-Mart is paying workers at their stores $17.50 an hour and McDonalds offers $300 sign-up bonuses to new hires at their stores." Cruz did not miss the opportunity to call on President Obama to approve the Keystone Pipeline. "If you are a Birkenstock-wearing, tree-hugging, Greenpeace activist, you should love the Keystone Pipeline." He pointed out that not only would it create many new high-paying jobs, it would provide a safer option for transporting oil from Canada, a reference to the dangers of moving the oil by rail. Weber concluded that "a lot has happened in the past decade to improve energy development prospects for the country. Oil and gas exploration and recovery are safer for the environment than ever before and it will save our bacon as far as economic growth is concerned. Creation of alternative fuels is a commendable goal, but it will take decades to become a reality-time we can't afford while there are so many people out of work, while our national debt soars unchecked, while our economy is in dire need of a jump start. It's time that we begin to 'think bigger than Keystone,' as Ted Cruz put it." |

Trump Denounces Socialism in Riveting Speech
==
Democrats suggest that the main way to save the program is to have the wealthy pay more and receive less benefits. However, the definition of wealthy may include individuals of the non-rich middle class. Republicans suggest raising the full retirement age up to age 70 as a result of increasing longevity in efforts to close the gap. President Trump suggests a means-test for benefits, meaning that people, including himself, who don’t need Social Security should forgo their payments.
Dan Weber, President of the Association of Mature American Citizens, or AMAC, voices that the promise of Social Security for all Americans must be honored. Putting the welfare of seniors at the forefront, he offers a three prime directive plan to achieve long-term trust fund solvency without raising taxes. AMAC’s proposal would increase benefits for those with lower earnings, ensure a continuation of benefits, and provide a means for all earners to have more income available at retirement. Through AMAC, seniors have a strong voice and steady representation in Washington, D.C.

receiving a membership pitch in the mail from AARP just before one’s 50th birthday is an American rite of passage.
The advocacy group, which itself turns 56 this year, is a powerhouse with 37.8 million members, known for its travel discounts and branded insurance products. In Washington and at the state level, it is the dominant voice speaking for older adults on issues from health care to utility rates.
But now, a handful of conservative-leaning groups are seeking to provide an alternative voice to AARP, which they say leans too far to the left despite its stated “nonpartisan” nature. These competitors include nonprofit advocacy groups and for-profit firms hoping to gain a slice of the lucrative market selling supplemental Medicare insurance.They generally describe themselves as supportive of free enterprise and family values.
While alternatives to AARP have existed for at least two decades, several groups say they have gotten a boost in recent years because of AARP’s support of the politically divisive Affordable Care Act, signed into law in 2010. One group, the American Seniors Association, urged members to tear up their AARP cards—and it now proudly displays them in a fishbowl in its Alpharetta, Ga., headquarters. Another group, the Association of Mature American Citizens, or AMAC, based in Lady Lake, Fla., says its membership shot to 1.1 million members last year from 40,000 in 2008, in part because of anger over the health-care law.
What’s the Motivation?
Judy Smith, age 72, is a member of AMAC. Her initial reaction to the Affordable Care Act: “This isn’t going to protect seniors; this is going to push us by the wayside.” A retired health-care administrator from Las Vegas, she says she quit AARP about three years ago after becoming disillusioned with the group’s support of the health-care overhaul and a general feeling that the group was “swinging farther to the left.”
Such reactions stem, in part, from how the new health-care law works. According to the Congressional Budget Office, spending on Medicare, the government health-care program for older adults, will slow by $716 billion between 2013 and 2022. Some older adults believe that AARP—which collects royalties on Medicare supplemental plans to which it lends its name—would stand to gain if spending cuts prompted more people to buy additional insurance.
“Who are they really interested in: seniors or lining their pockets?” asks Stephen Crawford, 61, a retired industrial engineer from Albany, Ga. He says he quit AARP in 2010 over the health-care law and later joined the 60 Plus Association Inc. in Alexandria, Va.
AARP did lose about 300,000 members due to its support of the ACA, says David Certner, director of legislative policy at AARP. But, he says, the group also lost members in 2003 when it was accused of being “an arm of the Republican Party” for supporting a GOP plan to add prescription-drug benefits to Medicare. Today, about one-third of AARP’s members are Democrats, a third Republican and a third independent, he says. “We try to represent the largest cross-section of our population,” he adds.
Member Support
AARP backed the Affordable Care Act and even ran national ads in 2009 arguing that the nation’s health-care system was broken and in need of fixing. Polling of its membership showed “overwhelming support” for key provisions of the ACA, Mr. Certner says. Among them: making it illegal for insurers to deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions and limiting the amount they can raise rates based on age. It is false that AARP will gain financially from the ACA, he says.
Beyond politics and policy, rivals to AARP are interested in the lucrative market of selling insurance to older adults. In 2012, AARP collected $500 million in royalties on Medicare supplemental plans, dental insurance and other products sold by third parties under its brand name. American Seniors Association is a for-profit group that distributes profits to shareholders. AMAC is also a for-profit entity but returns all proceeds to the main organization to continue its advocacy work, says founder Dan Weber.
The 60 Plus Association doesn’t offer insurance and has nonprofit status; it gets money from individual donations and from conservative political-action committees, says the group’s chairman and founder, Jim Martin.
Of course, AARP has a big head start—in the insurance market and in gaining access to legislators. The group’s operating expenses in 2012 were $1.35 billion. In 2013, according to public filings, AARP spent $9.6 million on federal lobbying; it usually employs about 35 to 50 state and federal lobbyists, Mr. Certner says.In contrast, AMAC, which started hiring professional lobbyists in 2011, spent about $71,000 on federal lobbying last year.
The lobbying numbers, however, don’t include television advertising—an area in which 60 Plus has made itself noticed. During the 2012 election cycle, the group says, it spent some $15 million on television commercials, mailers and phone calls to older adults.
When it comes to membership numbers, it is difficult to make comparisons because the organizations use different calculation methods. Still, it is clear that the newer groups are David to AARP’s Goliath, says Susan MacManus, a political-science professor specializing in generational politics at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
“It’s a Catch-22,” she says. “How can you show there is a reason to join unless you are effective? How can you show you are effective unless you get people to join?”
The newer groups say that they will eventually make a dent, and that two or more may merge for greater clout.
Differentiating Themselves
The conservative groups have clear differences with AARP on several issues, but less so on others. Perhaps the biggest disagreement: They want to repeal the ACA, which AARP still supports. The 60 Plus Association has been a leader of the push to repeal the federal estate tax, while AARP says it supports keeping the current estate tax, which now applies only to estates larger than $5.34 million.
And to prop up the Social Security program, AMAC has a detailed plan that would gradually increase the earliest retirement age to 64 from 62 currently—but would also guarantee cost-of-living increases in a tiered structure based on income. AARP is “adamantly against” any cuts in Social Security to deal with the current budget deficit, Mr. Certner says, but is open to discussing ways to safeguard its future.
On other issues, the smaller groups’ differences with AARP are less clear. AMAC is lobbying to restore Medicare cuts in the wake of the health law, which will hit “very sick, very poor old people” who prefer to stay at home rather than move to nursing homes, says Andrew J. Mangione Jr., vice president of government relations. AARP, for its part, wrote the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services last summer expressing concern about those cuts.

Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) is a United States-based conservative advocacy organization and interest group, founded in 2007. Its president and founder is Daniel C. Weber, a retired insurance agency owner.[1][2]
AMAC is a membership organization for people age 50 and over.[3] The group calls itself "the conservative alternative to the AARP."[2] It is one of several organizations to position itself as conservative rivals to the AARP; others include the American Seniors Association and 60 Plus Association.[3][4][5]
In 2014, the group is based in Lady Lake, Florida.[4]
Political activities
AMAC describes itself as "vigorously conservative" and gained support from talk show host Glenn Beck and other conservative figures.[6] AMAC strongly opposes the Affordable Care Act (ACA)[7][8] and has pushed for its repeal.[4] In March 2014, AMAC claimed a membership of 1.1 million members, up from 40,000 in 2008, which it attributed to backlash over the ACA.[4]
AMAC supports a plan for Social Security which would gradually increase the earliest retirement age to 64 (from 62) and "guarantee cost-of-living increases in a tiered structure based on income."[4] AMAC supports the oil and gas industry, claiming that they "are safer for the environment than ever." The group's president, Dan Weber, called for a rollback of Obama administration policies to promote clean energy.[9]
The AMAC has a volunteer "delegate" program, aiming to select an AMAC member in each congressional district across the country to meet and lobby members of Congress.[10]
In February 2017 AMAC issued a warning to the upcoming 2017 Academy Awards ceremony to not tolerate speeches against President Donald Trump, threatening to launch a boycott of theaters.[11]
Political analyst Josh Bernstein is currently a National Spokesperson for AMAC, which sponsors his weekly political talk show. [12]
