First Amendment Supporters Send Broken Video Game Controllers to California Senator Leland Yee

According to the Video Games Voters Network (also known as the VGVN), gaming fanatics across the country are up in arms about a new California game law that is currently in the works and is endorsed by California Senator Leland Yee. What the game law is trying to do is censor video games. However, the Video Game Voters Network and gamers alike retort by stating that video games are clearly protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. But how are gamers across the nation firing back? By sending their old and/or broken controllers and/or gaming accessories right to the Senator himself with a clear-cut message written on controller and/or accessory: "I Believe in the First Amendment."

The campaign against the Californian gaming law has spread through online forums across the vast Internet, prompting many gamers throughout the nation to partake in the retaliation effort.

The Video Games Voters Network gives clear and concise directions as to how to partake in the campaign to protect our First Amendment right, which pertains to video games as well:

1. Round up your old and/or broken video game controllers and accessories. Write, on each piece of equipment, "I Believe in the First Amendment" clearly on the product.

2. The Video Game Voters Network then asks for people doing this to take a picture of their controller and/or piece of gaming equipment with the writing on it and submit it through their form on their website found here.

3. Seal of the box containing the gaming products and mail them to California Senator Leland Yee's office located at:

Leland's Address:
The Honorable Leland Yee
455 Golden Gate Avenue
Suite 14200
San Francisco, CA 94102

4. And the final step, according to VGVN: "Give yourself a high-five, and then tell your friends to join in the mass protest."

The VGVN asks protesters to please remain civil when sending in pieces of gaming equipment and controllers, as vulgar language will "only prove Yee's point", which would be a step backwards.

For those of you who don't know who the VGVN is, their website states that they are: "[...] 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." Their mission is to protect video games and free them from censorship since they are protected under the First Amendment right of the United States Constitution.
