Fight for your right to Mario Party!

Unlike the vast majority of politicians, Pennsylvania State Governor Ed Rendell is not a self-righteous prick when it comes to videogames. In fact, he supports the ESRB’s rating system, and he’ll even go on TV to prove it.

Governor Rendell recently teamed up with the ESRB to create a public service announcement educating parents on the ESRB’s rating system and how it can benefit their families. The PSA will run on both television and radio.

The Video Game Voters Network has a page in which you can submit a pre-written letter to thank the good statesman. Of course, you can edit the text if you really want, so you can thoroughly express your gratitude for his coolness.

It’s great to see a politician not be a total asshole, so I really think we should try to show Governor Rendell that we greatly support him in his efforts to support us.

You can visit the “Thank You” page made for Governor Rendell and submit your letters to him here.

Thanks also go out to Krispy Demon for pointing out the Governor’s majesty.
