Doug I think it's a reasonable topic to discuss.
I've heard it said that trying to organise adult webmasters is like herding cats. When the Acacia thing was hot, people were advocating a sort of union, but it never really eventuated. The 2257 thing is perhaps more threatening, so there's more incentive to get involved.
The Free Speech Coalition is probably the best bet at this point, even if their fees are a bit steep (I think they'd get more individual support if it cost less).
I just looked at the website of the Eros foundation, which is the lobbyist group for Australian traders in the adult business. They want over $500 to join, which is ridiculously expensive, especially when you're an adult webmaster primarily concerned with the US market, not the Australian one.
Perhaps that's the stumbling block... I think most people support these kinds of groups in theory, but most end up wondering what they get for their money. In the current climate, it's easy to see that the money will be put to good use, but at any other time it may be harder to see.
