This industry would never be that powerful, but there is enough money

That is probably true, but if we were to set it up as a first amendment organization, that would go a long way to boosting out power. And, I believe the point about our members is important. If webmasters who became members, and gave a small percentage of their revenue based on sales, then they could offer free membership in that organization to their members. Essentially, co-opting the members. That would dramatically increase the apparent numbers. There are other organizations that do the same thing. I'm talking like one cent for every hundred dollars of revenue, maybe even less than that. Many groups do this on an honor system, it's simply seen as good business.
And, this is the important part, congress, state legislatures, and politicians in general find it much more difficult to pull bullshit when someone is sitting in the room representing millions of people.
THis is a very broad brush I'm painting with here. But, the essence is that it is past time that we got together and organized to leverage what political might we may have.
This is obviously US-'centric,' so my apologies to our friends are not in the US. But, this would benefit you, as well, because what the US does often has repercussions around the world.
Any thoughts?
