I see the eventual FSF CA as an umbrella for such work, which is of great importance. Without all your previous ground work, we don't have essential information to act upon, so your focus is incredibly useful. The fact SOPA is reaching people we could never even be close to (in terms of legislation information/advocacy) bring the good timing to bridge your work, local activists and FLOSS advocacy, which is pretty much part of FSF's mission elsewhere. We "just" need to gather all this and make it easy for anyone interested to join forces.
