Video Game Voters Network

Attorneys general from 11 states are trying to undermine the First Amendment by throwing their support behind the California game law that's been found unconstitutional — a law that will soon be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The attorneys general signed on to a pro-California amicus brief submitted by Louisiana Attorney General James Caldwell.

The fact is that the video game industry has a successful system in place to prevent children from accessing inaccessible content. It's called the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), and independent research shows that it works.  If upheld by the Supreme Court, the California law will disrupt a system that works and replace it with state-by-state regulations that could make it harder for parents to make educated choices about what's appropriate for their kids.

The support of these eleven attorneys general for video game censorship is troubling, but there's something we can do. Use the links below to tell your attorney general that he or she is on the wrong side of free speech.
