My two cents about your website:

First, I think your site has great content. And I agree with much of what you have said. However, it seems to lack a good starting point for newcomers. An FAQ would be ideal. Also, the content could use some organizing, and the pages are a bit to long. Not trying to be critical, but I can spend hours at your website and only get half an idea of your stance. While it is tolerable for me, I'm afraid a lot of would-be supporters could lose interest.

So far you have my vote. And you can expect for me to comment again at a later time.
