Evergreen Freedom Foundation touts itself as a defender of market place solutions rather than government dictates ( coercing virtue ), and I do agree. For one year I was an EFF subscriber.
It would be nice if EFF would pay attention to market demographics when it designs its web site ...

As a 48 year old who now uses reading glasses I am getting very tired of web sites that have unnecessarily small text that cannot be resized by the browser font adjustment.
Your 10 point or less font size is difficult to read. What I can't read easily, I don't contribute to.
Get a clue that not all your readers are 20 - something with the vision of eagles.
For all it's many other deficits, www.thestranger.com gets its display correct.
[ May 21, 2005: within days of my commendation of The Stranger as an example of a legible web site, The Stranger must have hired the fellows from effwa.org to inflict their design standards on another market demographic. Now The Stranger web pages suck as bad or worse than Evergreen Freedom Foundation. So I have awarded both my new "Effing Unreadable" Award for illegible web sites - see my 2 messages with photos above. ]
If you want people to subscribe to your organization, make your service accessible to an aging population with declining vision.
I won't be considering sending any $$$ until you improve your web site display.
Your "multimedia" specialist and assistant are earning degrees at media schools whose customers will always be younger than 30? Someone is not paying attention to American age demographics.
Getting old sux big time. Don't aggravate nature's failing by catering to a minority demographic - those with youthful vision.
