Are these strategies actually effective? I want to believe this will help, though wondering if we’re better off pitching in to fund a lobbying campaign like MegaCorps do.

These same actions beat SOPA/PIPA in 2012. More recently ACA repeal. Massive contact to Congress that scares officials that they won't be re-elected, yes that works. It must be louder than the equivalent in campaign contributions that officials spend for ads in October/November.
