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.

Interestingly, we don't allow them to play video games at all right now. Not because of the content, though. They've only started to read, so we are encouraging that. We do allow them to watch TV, but they watch a lot of educational stuff mixed in with the not-so educational stuff.
