Score one for the home team, because there's at least one member of Congress on the side of responsible gaming. Through Game Politics, we found out that Generation: Gamerz got a reply on the issue of games in governmental legislation, sent to the House of Representatives by the Video Game Voter's Network, from Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin.

The letter, which you can see in greater detail on the right, definitely has the basic concepts behind gaming legislation down pat, but what really makes us smile is how he places parental responsibility as an important factor in buying games to begin with. Wrote Sensenbrenner:

I believe that parents have a responsibility to monitor the video games that their children play. Parents, not the government, are in the best position to educate children and restrict harmful material from them.
