9. I disagree...
We have to play the expectations game here, too. If you ask for a million and only get 700,000... well, that doesn't look good. Better to say you asked for 500,000 and got 700,000.

Should we keep up the push? Sure. But, we have now "used up" the moveon resource. Certainly not all their members have signed (last I heard they had 2 million on their mailing list), but I doubt if we would get a whole heap more with a new e-mail alert on the subject.

So, the question remains, where will we get the other 4-500,000 signatures? There aren't many more orgs out there like Moveon. Not impossible, but harder simply due to the law of decreasing returns.
