As much as I love to read all the regulars on the Kos, I also realize that a commitment to action to get Democrats elected in 2020 is paramount. Posting “Comments” is a momentary catharsis and break from rage snacking, but it doesn’t get people to the polls or help with voter registration. Perhaps you live in a blue district in a blue state but still want to help the folks on the ground in swing states? Here’s your chance!

Pod Save America recently announced a new project called ADOPT A STATE: what a great opportunity to be useful in a meaningful way. You can pick your favorite state to adopt and join up with progressive organizations, volunteers and Dems on the ground:

Introducing Adopt a State, our brand-new remote mobilization program that will help you directly support the work of organizers and candidates in the six key battleground states that will be most important to winning a progressive majority on Election Day—no matter where you live.

You can choose Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Michigan(my pick), Pennsylvania or Wisconsin. There will be four training sessions in June on Thursday evenings.

I don’t want to wake up on Election Day in November thinking I didn’t do enough to elect Democrats: let’s not forget that Michigan handed over 16 Electoral College votes to tRump even though he won by less than 11,000 votes. We can’t let that happen again.

One hundred twenty-nine miles, 15,000 feet of climbing, five mountain passes in the Sierras (this ride is not for sissies who whine about cobblestones)--it's not called the Death Ride for nothing!

And Markos is doing it tomorrow.

Come on, Kossacks: let's send him some mojo for the wind at his back, all five passes and then home safe and sound.

GOOD LUCK, MARKOS!!!

My COBRA health insurance coverage ends in Nov., and I'm looking for a new policy. A bit of research on my part has revealed(no surprise) there are no bargains for consumers looking for affordable health insurance, and the public option(if it happens) won't come soon enough for me.

The big players in N. CA are: Kaiser, Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield and PacifiCare. I currently have an Aetna PPO(which under COBRA is somewhat reasonably priced; not so much when you buy it privately); I would like to hear about your experiences with the other companies. Is there a good HMO/PPO out there I should know about? Any horror stories about companies to avoid?

In advance, thanks! Maybe your input can help others in the same situation.

I was planning to vote for Edwards in our primary next Tuesday: now I need Kossack advice about who to vote for. My inclination is to vote for Edwards even though he has dropped out of the race.

What will happen to his delegates? Will voting for Edwards give him a powerbroker role at the convention?
I am flummoxed. Given that he has not endorsed Clinton nor Obama, I need your best Kossack thinking on this.
