Write the Video Game Voters’ Rallying Cry



You can have my video games when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.

Think that sounds a little morbid? Well, an organization dedicated to protecting our pastime wants you to help convince the public that videogames are protected speech.

The Video Game Voters Network sent an email plea to gamers on Monday, asking them to help come up with a slogan that will communicate to politicians and the public that gamers won’t stand idly by while they besmirch and attempt to ban the games that we love.

Established by the Entertainment Software Association in 2006, the Video Game Voters Network is a political advocacy group dedicated to protecting videogames from restrictive laws.

The organization is keen on making gamers aware that the Supreme Court will soon consider the constitutionality of a California law that would restrict the sale of videogames the government deems “violent.”

To submit your gamers’ rights slogan, visit the Video Game Voters Network.
