Dems To Comply With AARP Request To Stop Using Group’s Logo In Campaign

Missouri Democrats say they will comply with the AARP request to quit using its logo in their attacks against US Senate candidate Jim Talent. AARP Volunteer Advocacy Coordinator Bob Schmalfeld says the group is neutral in the Senate race and has not endorsed either candidate. And, he says the Democrats are not authorized to use the AARP logo. Missouri Democratic Party Executive Director Mike Kelley says the party has received a letter from the AARP about the literature in question. Kelley says the intention of the party was simply to highlight AARP opposition to a piece of legislation Talent sponsored as a Congressman.
