In terms of lobbying, you also have to remember that any group or individuals who work through Congress 'directly' rather than going through some sort of popular vote is lobbying. Whether it's a Union, a scientific organization, the mob... whomever.
This one man's agenda just happens to be a pretty damn good one, and if we as a nation are too stupid to pull something together to get the government to notice, why not the workings of a person who is actually trying to get something worthwhile done, where the man is not actually gaining anything from it. (ie, he doesn't have AIDS, nor lives in Africa.)
Note: This may not be the best case in a lot of situations, but for this one, it does seem to help out quite a bit.
