Prevent misleading titles of bills introduced, considered, or enacted by Congress.

Created by C.G. on September 23, 2011

An act or bill poised to become law in any legislative setting should not be embellished in such a way as to invoke emotional reactions over the content of the proposition itself (e.g. "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act"). Titles should be an unbiased summary of the bill or, in the very least, a neutral identification number for categorization. Anything more is an attempt by the authoring party to mislead or manipulate.
