Stop Your Representative From Sponsoring Federal Bill to Mislabel Video Games
|
As you read this, your Congressperson may be considering co-sponsoring the newest regulatory assault on video games — Rep. Joe Baca’s (D-CA) bill H.R. 231, “The Video Game Health Labeling Act.” Baca’s bill mandates that video games rated Teen or higher receive the following warning label: “WARNING: Excessive exposure to violent video games and other violent media has been linked to aggressive behavior.” Baca’s bill is misguided, unnecessary, and simply unconstitutional. In a letter seeking co-sponsors of this bill, Baca points to research claiming a causal link between video games and aggressive behavior, even though this very same research was rejected as faulty by a majority of federal and state courts. Let’s fight back, and stop this political bullying of video games. Check out the bill. Don’t wait for the courts to put an end to it — let’s stop this bill before it starts. |
