Is there something you'd like to say about video games to the Republican presidential candidates?Time is winding down for the Nov. 28th CNN/YouTube debate. As you may recall, the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) is supporting (with free T-shirts!) gamers who submit game-related video questions to the candidates.
We're really hoping one of the gamer videos is selected for the debate as it would help bring game consumer issues front and center to a national audience.
One T-shirt will be mailed to each individual who successfully uploads a video question. Mention of the ECA is not required, but is appreciated. A link to your video along with your contact information (name, address, phone and email) should be sent to info@theECA.com. Contest is open to ECA members as well as non-members. Standard YouTube debate rules apply.
You can also expect to see your video published here on GamePolitics as well as on the ECA’s Facebook and MySpace pages.
You can view all of the previously submitted videos here.

Suggestion: Get a line of 15 white males, all dressed in Gestapo colors, and offer Romney a Heil.
Ask how he will strike down the freedom of adults in matters concerning entertainment for the "betterment" of America. Be sure to include a short list: film, video games, internet, porn.
Give the facist Bible thumpers the salute they deserve, imo.
The religious base is only turned to when the Republicans need a boost. Usually they go for the "conservative" base, namely the "hands-off" government types. It's only lately that the neo-cons have polarized things into "you're either a Jesus fan, or Bin Laden's bitch".
The religious crowd is such an easy sway, they're usually taken for granted unless the race is close. Then it's "an attack on Christianity" call to mobilize the masses...
When speaking of the current cultural whipping boy, you do not ask which party is whipping it, only which party is whipping it harder.
But for all those who want to but haven't, it is worth it and the t-shirt is fab. But remember to list you t-shirt size in your email if you want one that fits. Mine was a size too big, but it is still great.

The democrat party is whipping it as hard as possible, believe you me.
I'm not happy with the fact that republican candidates aren't talking about enough.
Once again, Austin lewis in 08.
I just checked out some videos and thought that you made one of the best when it comes to making a point about the rights of video games.
I see that you have an interesting site about games that I would look at more when I get a chance later on.
One of the classes I am taking next semester at college is a game design class.
I am hoping that more people will stand up against people like Jack Thompson and show the real truth that video games are not the real problem.
Someone should make a video asking how may video games do they own or better yet have they ever played or owned one.
I'd vote for you, but you're a Yankee fan. =)
Not to mention my question would be a loaded one just waiting for the typically retarded, politically correct, omghowdoikeepallthevotes answer since those are so easy to see coming.
I realize I'm being very cynical, however how can you not be after what's been known for years gets underlined with the Clinton campain?
Before everyone skewers me let me say I'm not for any of them... I know that her campain just got nailed publically first. They ALL do this.
*buries soap box*
This would be my Q but my cam is out of commission
