There are two possibilities, DD may have been quietly chattig this idea up among certain groups, and it isn't the first time he's talked to the Weasleys about the Order.
Or it could be that he knows the Weasleys' opinions well enough to believe they would want to be involved. Molly's comment about Arthur tells us that he's been vocal enough within the MoM to have a certain reputation. I thnk in one of the books, we hear that Arthur has managed to get some Muggle-friendly laws passed.
