Video Game Voters Network

I wanted to let you know about a great web site that allows gamers to take action to stop efforts to censor and regulate video games. The site is the Video Gamer Voters Network and can be found at http://www.videogamevoters.org/

I just sent a message to my Senators urging them to oppose the Clinton-Lieberman-Bayh Family Entertainment Protection Act, which would regulate video game sales at the federal level. If we are going to stop this bill, and other efforts at the state level, we need more people standing up and taking action.

Please go to http://www.videogamevoters.org today and make your voice heard.
Just thought I'd pass this along. I signed up and e-mailed my senators.

Tycho sums up my position nicely:

I think the threat to adult gamers is usually described as a "chilling effect" that will constrict the themes of even mature entertainment, the self-censorship of games to secure a more desirable (i.e., marketable) rating. The First Amendment is often hauled out in these instances, as though concessions to the marketplace amount to the tromp of the jackboot, but to the best of my knowledge the "Right To Be Sold In Wal-Mart" is not enumerated in the constitution.
