Let the Gamers Voice their Opinion!

By joing this group, it shows you support the freedom of video games and the first amendment.

"The Video Game Voters Network is a place for American gamers to organize and defend against threats to video games by registering to vote and letting Congress know how important this issue is to the community. Without a critical mass of adult video game players who are registered to vote and willing to stand firmly behind their games, politicians will continue to fire criticism at games and game players in order to score easy points for their political campaigns.

Video games are fully protected speech under the Constitution, and receive the same First Amendment protection as books, movies, music and cable television programs. The Network opposes efforts to regulate the content of entertainment media, including proposals to criminalize the sale of certain games to minors, or regulate video games differently from movies, music, books, and other media. The Network also enables gamers to stay educated about issues, reach out to federal, state, and local officials, and register to vote. The Video Game Voters Network is a project sponsored by the Entertainment Software Association, a trade group representing America’s video game publishers."

Only days after the Supreme Court struck down a California law that took away the rights of computer and video game players, it's already time to defend the decision.

Critics who disagree with the Supreme Court's ruling are once again looking at ways to challenge game players and game developers' freedom of speech.

We're going to need your help to ensure the emphatic declaration made by the 7-2 ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States does not come under attack.

Pledge your support for computer and video games as free speech. Sign the Gamers Pledge today:

Justice Scalia was crystal clear in his opinion: Computer and video games are no different than any other form of art:

And whatever the challenges of applying the Constitution to ever-advancing technology, "the basic principles of freedom of speech and the press, like the First Amendment's command, do not vary" when a new and different medium for communication appears.
That's why we need you to sign the Gamers Pledge. The more people who stand up to those seeking to subvert or manipulate this decision, the stronger we will be against their aggressive attempts at censorship.

We have Won.

We won.

The United States Supreme Court voted 7 to 2 to overturn a California law restricting the sale of computer and video games--declaring those games to be protected speech like any other form of creative expression. Justice Scalia writes:
Greetings Everyone~

Video games qualify for First Amendment protection. Like protected books, plays, and movies, they communicate ideas through familiar literary devices and features distinctive to the medium. And "the basic principles of freedom of speech . . . do not vary" with a new and different communication medium.

With our freedom of speech at stake you, and the rest of the Video Game Voters Network, sprung to action. You rallied to oppose this law - and you succeeded.

However, our job is not done. We have won our freedom of expression, now join other video game players and game developers in pledging to defend it.

The Gamer's Pledge is an emphatic declaration that you agree with the Supreme Court's ruling, and acknowledgment of the work ahead. It says that you will support continued efforts to ensure games are recognized as free speech, and defend these rights against attempts to manipulate the ruling.

You contributed a great deal to this victory in the past year. Collectively, VGVN members sent thousands of letters to state attorneys general, calling on them to oppose the California law. Ten even signed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, arguing in favor of video games as protected speech.

Celebrate today's victory for parents, consumers, video game developers, artists, and all game players by signing the Gamer's Pledge to defend it. Then tell your friends to do the same:

Revel in this victory, and tell your friends today:
