The recent announcement of the Supreme Court ruling that video and computer games are NOT constitutionaly protected forms of speach outraged gamers across America. Telemarketers and junk mail are still all well and good but games are appearently evil. Strike back and show the mindless drones in Washington how you feel! As a like-minded citizen you have the right to do so. Sign this petition to ensure that games do become constitutionaly protected! When this petition has grown large enough, I will personally send it to the Supreme Court, as well as my senators and fight to ensure that gamers everywhere will have the freedom to buy and play any games they choose.

Updates

January 26, 2003

The feedback I keep getting is that people are tired of their hobbies being treated like a public hazard. We are currently drafting a formal letter to accompany these signatures for our senators. Email your representative today to let them know that you expect your rights to remain intact.

The momentum behind this campaign proves that Washington cannot ignore our rights any longer. Post this link on Facebook right now and text three friends to get them involved. Email your representatives immediately to demand they defend our freedom to play.

This is ridiculous. Games are art just like movies or books. Washington needs to get with the times.

They act like we are all criminals for playing a game after work. Get a life and worry about real problems not my console.
