An alternative to AARP

The National Association of Conservative Seniors (NAOCS) now offers American senior adults a conservative alternative to AARP for collective political influence, insurance and health care discounts, and travel benefits. Seniors gain membership benefits while working together to protect conservative American values. The National Association of Conservative Seniors was founded to provide exclusive services and benefits to people age 60 and older, ranging from travel to quality-of-life opportunities, while enabling them to participate in protecting conservative values in the United States. NAOCS advocates for members, and in turn, members are enabled to hold politicians and elected officials accountable. Silver membership is offered free for the first year. The added benefits of Gold Patriot membership are $5 per month. Online registration for both is available at NAOCS.us
