Generation America (Gen A) is a right wing astroturf organization that bills itself as a trustworthy alternative to the AARP. It was founded in 2009 as a way of exploiting feeding off the fears of serving members of the Tea Party movement who without a shred of irony — or seemingly without a scintilla of insight — were seen marching with protest signs that read "Keep your government hands off my Medicare."

Gen A advocates for the typical buzzword bullet points:

• Small Government
• Free Enterprise Solutions
• Personal Freedom

Gen A is operated by Generation American Voice -- or maybe it's the other way around. It really isn't clear which begat which. Gen A-Voice also advocates for a broader slate of bullet point causes:

• Repeal of Obamacare
• Promotion of American exceptionalism
• Defeat of cap and trade legislation
• Make the Bush tax cuts permanent

As a come-on to prospective members, Gen A offers many services offered by AARP, such as insurance and membership discounts.

Gen A tends to limit its advertising to conservative talk radio and magazines. Otherwise, its actions and advocacy is mostly off-the-radar. Its website lists three corporate officers:

• Michael Young – Chairman
• Tim Young – Board Member
• Patrick Boykin – Board Member and Executive Director

There is very little analysis of Gen A available on the internet. Even Wikipedia has no article on Gen A or Gen A-Voice.
