The Elite 8 of Countable’s Summer Bill Acronym Bracket
Vote to see how others feel about this issue
In honor of the House’s August recess and politicians’ penchant for the pithy bill acronyms that have grown in popularity since the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, we’ve put together another tournament in which you — Countable users — will choose the best bill acronym of the 115th Congress.
Countable’s selection committee has chosen 16 of the most creatively, and in some cases spitefully, titled pieces of legislation this Congress has introduced. The winners of this round will face off in next Friday’s Final Four, and you’ll be able to vote on your favorites through Wednesday at midnight PT.
May the best bill acronym win!
Too Long, Didn’t Read (TL; DR) Act vs. Defending Elections against Trolls from Enemy Regimes (DETER) Act
No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels (NOPEC) Act vs. John S. McCain III, Daniel K. Akaka, and Samuel R. Johnson VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks Act (VA MISSION) Act
Advancing Critical Connectivity Expands Services, Small Business Resources, Opportunities, Access, and Data Based on Assessed Need and Demand (ACCESS BROADBAND) Act vs. Curb Objectionable Redirection of Resources and Unconstitutional Payments to Trump (CORRUPT) Act
Kittens In Traumatic Testing Ends Now (KITTEN) Act vs. Knowledgeable Innovators and Worthy Investors (KIWI) Act
PS (post scriptum) ― you see the winner of our spring bill acronym bracket here.
