Just finished reading a few more questions in GS' mailbag and decided that I would promote something here.

Simply go to this site and sign up, it doesn't take long.  Then after you sign up, it'll ask you to send a letter that is already pre-written and pre-addressed to your state's US senators.  This site is devoted to keeping all those annoying video game laws out of your state, such as the one's Jack Thompson and Hillary Clinton are pushing for.  So just do it, it takes like 2 minutes.
