Votizen has been doing a lot of the political push on the startup visa issue. And, there's a number of big super angel/VC names that are attached to the movement as well. A lot of those guys are pretty connected. I'm sure that helped.

Eh, this is 100% on Lugar's office and Kerry's office being awesome. "Pretty connected" in Silicon Valley means crap-all in the senate when you have 2 senators from Idaho.
