Video Game Voters Network

For too long, politicians have seen video games as a legislative punching bag for regulations in ways they would never regulate books, music or TV. Today we see a clear sign of change.

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate for President has become the first presidential candidate ever to advertise for his campaign inside video games. According to the Associated Press, Sen. Obama is advertising in eighteen video games encouraging gamers to register and vote.

Sen. Obama's advertising leaves no doubts about the political significance of gamers. This outreach to the gamer community sends a clear signal to gamers that their voices are being heard and that the work of the Video Game Voters Network is having an impact.
