This morning the Video Game Voters Network sent out an email to its members urging them to make their voices heard this Tuesday by voting in the mid-term elections.

We need to send a clear signal this Tuesday: video games are protected speech, afforded constitutional protection by the First Amendment. Our taxpayer time and money should be spent on the real issues affecting our country and taxpayers.

The VGVN, operated by the Entertainment Software Association, is an organization dedicated to defending video games and gaming against legislative threats. It's a great thought, but I've a feeling the only candidates getting the gamer vote this week are Gears of War, Guitar Hero II, Call of Duty 3 and Elite Beat Agents. If only we could vote through Xbox Live. Michael Fahey
