If I remember correctly, the biggest online lobbying group would be moveon.org, and they can get a couple million signatures on stuff. However they're all on the Left, and already involved in politics. Meaning we know which way they'll vote- only issue is whether they turn up or not which is kind of a moot point. With poker however, we come from all different corners of the political spectrum so they're going to want to woo us. There are some undecideds / independents among us. Also, young impressionable people. They'll realize that some people will be voting (and identifying with political parties) on this issue alone, so the petition could be a significant factor.
