GAIL: Gamers Against Illogical Legislation

I'm starting this thread because I want to start this internet based anti-legislation group. 

The main focus of this group is to send emails to politicians, the media (news, radio, etc), Anti-Games Groups, and parent groups to try to educate and get word out that the ESRB works its just up to parents to learn. 

We wont be really working to be another ECA just to get the word out that there are responsible gamers and that the people who fly off the deep-end and kill people were already mentally unstable and video games were not the cause of.

No one who joins will expect anyone to actually go to an interview with a news agency or anything like that unless they very well want to.

Our main base of action will be this site. All members who join will be requested to have "GAIL Member" or "Member of GAIL" bolded and placed above anything else in your sig to display your pride as a member.

All members will also be requested to take an oath to become a non-biased gamers and poster on not just this message board but every message board they are apart of. Spreading the word of GAIL would be nice too. 

If you wish to join post here.

 

As for the first course of action I would request every member that live within the United States of America go to the Video Game Voters Network and use their first two forms to contact your state's representative about this issue. If you don't wish to type out your own message they have premade message that will be sent instead. Adding a picture to their wall of protest is optional. 

For non-USA members you currently have no direct assignments. If you have a way to contact your nation's politicians please do. 

 

 

Thanks,

I don't get the oath part? why do you have to say an oath?

How is creating an organization where you have to take an oath to be a non biased gamer helpful?

Look at the Mass Effect/Fox fiasco,  no gamer said "oh, its an Xbox game, who cares", we all put aside our differences and did our part either digging, writting reviews or sending letters to fox.

Maybe what really rubs me the wrong way is that you're biased

You prefer PC games over consoles (says so in your sig) and you've always prefered the PS3 over the 360.

Also, poor Soriku... can you imagine if he starts writing impartial posts? These forums would be boring as hell.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the Gaming community is the closest thing to an Anarchist organization, we don't want any rules, we don't want any regulations, we don't want any limitations, we just want freedom to play our games, speak our views and .... peace in the middle east !

Oh btw GAIL sounds like a cult..
