    "... representing such organisations as the EFF and Craigslist... "

    ...and Moveon.org and the Gun Owners of America, and Civic Action, and the Cancer Online Resources etc...

    In total this coalition has more than 15 million people in it according to USA Today.
    BTW, AOL just announced that it is going to be raising its general monthly fee as well. Either they will drop this e-mail tax crap or they will lose those idiots who are still subscribed to their "internet" service
