trooper6Hi all,
I don't know everybody's political feelings on the matter, but there is video game drama brewing up in Sacramento. And for those who want to take action, here's a way to do it.
So the deal: An anti-Video Games Bill was passed. The bill regulated the sale of video games to minors, like pornography...unlike movies, books or television. A judge found the bill unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds (all similar anti-video game laws around the country have similarly been rule unconstitutional). So Arnorld Schwarzenegger has announced that he plans on appealing the ruling...costing the people of California a lot of money. So if you are against his intentions, then here is a web site that expedites your ability to write him a letter.

Unfortunately, gamers are older, richer, and more numerous now than they were five years ago, so I think it's not going to be nearly so easy or successful.
But still. Gross, gross, gross.
