Good Enough for a Campaign Slogan?
I was listening to Randi Rhodes, talking about the lack of a paper trail for what the NSA has been doing, and its dire consequences (of not knowing what the hell they are really doing)

And it struck me:

WWAPT

What is WWAPT?

WE WANT A PAPER TRAIL

WWAPT

It would look good on a bumper.

2. Best to have a paper BALLOT.
A paper trail presents certain problems, although it's far better than just DREs.

Maybe WWAPB ... and don't forget hand counting. That's the ideal: PBHC.

3. I agree ... too many W's!
I also agree that we want a paper ballot for electoral dysfunction. I'm with you there.

But I was struck by how this also applies to the NSA spying. And so was trying to find a way for a more general slogan, that can accommodate many (dire) issues.

WWA (We Want Accountability) would work, except for the obvious attack (Waaah! crybaby Liberals)

There has to be a perfect acronym that can express this.

WWAPT sounds more adversarial for some reason. WWAPB is as well.

Any other ideas?
