It seems as though we - as a collective business - Adult Online - have NO lobbying and no voices speaking for us in Washington. Certainly the online adult industry is not large in terms of numbers of providers of materials and online services in the grand sceme of things - but - economically it does amount to a substantial chunk of $$$. It seems that there should be more up-front focus and exposure to get our points across - presenting them in a better way instead of always fighting fires that happen in retrospec.
