Seeing how the ACA Signups project got its start right here at Daily Kos, I feel pretty justified in giving folks here a heads’ up about this:
Introducing ACA Signups Swag!
Yes, that's right...after five years and due to public demand (OK, it was like 2-3 people, anyway), I've decided to go ahead and start offering official ACA Signups T-Shirts, Posters and Coffee Mugs!
Every product is available in two designs: The Psychedelic Donut or The Three-Legged Stool.
You can choose from all of the following:
- Men's & Women's T-Shirts
- Sweatshirts
- Infant T-Shirts & Onesies
- Posters & Banners
- Ceramic Coffee/Latte Mugs
- Throw Pillows & Blankets
- Mousepads & Puzzles
- Doggie T-Shirts and Pet Tags
I've done my best to clean up the graphics and make them high-resolution enough to look good on the merchandise. I plan on adding a few more designs if there's enough interest in this venture.
It's all being done through CafePress; they handle the orders, payments, shipping, returns and so forth. I have no idea what their political leanings are.

Speaking of which...
- NO, the Affordable Care Act HASN’T been repealed. Practically every legal expert including right-wingers agree that the case was idiotic to begin with, has no legal basis, and the District court judge’s decision will almost certainly be overturned at either the Circuit or SCOTUS levels.
This isn’t a guarantee, of course—I still get night sweats over the infamous King vs. Burwell case which held the title for “most insane anti-ACA case” until now, which did make it all the way to the Supreme Court—but I wouldn’t panic/despair yet. The ACA is still the law of the land and should be until the rest of the legal appeals process plays out...which could take up to another year or two (just in time for the 2020 election, perhaps?)
