I don't see what difference it makes what we call ourselves, we are first 
and foremost a bunch of taxpayers and concerned citizens.

PLUG is not a non-profit organization, whatever opinions are expressed on 
the webpage are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.  Period.  Whether or 
not all pluggers are for the bill or not is another matter.

I say don't sweat it, put up the info along with pov and advertise the hell 
out of it.
