Greetings Countable commenters, critics, and Take Actioners...

Like Congress, we at Countable work for you. Unlike Congress, we want to get better and more efficient at our job.

We’ll be querying you about a number of ways we can improve Countable over the next few weeks, but this afternoon, we’re focusing on Content.

Content

We mainly cover Congressional bills and national news. Sometimes we’ll consider a state law that could be enacted on a national level.
We round up all the news you need to know to argue cogently in the a.m. in the Daily Countable.
We feature your comments in the DC and on the site, and we also round up your thoughts in our series Your Turn, Your Voices.
We’ve also, of late, started doing more videos like this one:

Our USAFacts pieces usually include a plethora of visuals, like our recent one about the Green New Deal:

Countable’s main feed also includes content from partners like Pro Publica, Kaiser Health News, the High Times, and Axios.
Each of the above also have their own Action Center—a one-stop shop for the kind of news that matters most to you: animal rights, cross-partisanship, GLAAD, The Daily Signal, the Environmental Defense Fund…

What kind of content do you want to see on the site?

What’s missing? What Action Centers do you want added? Do you want more of less of any type of content?

Breaking news
State news
Local news
Entertainment news
More videos
More polls and surveys
More graphs, charts, and visual content
More content from you, Countable users
Audio content (including audio versions of articles)

Talk to us

Countable isn’t meant to be read, it’s meant to be used. A way of getting you in touch with your lawmakers so can let them know how to vote on current bills or what legislation they should introduce.

Thanks for helping us improve your Countable experience.
