I dont know if its just a coincident, but a lot of BSD related 
sites seems to choose themes leaning towards red or orange 
colors. Look at www.freebsd.org, www.bsdtoday.com, 
daily.daemonnews.org, www.freebsddiary.org, they all have some 
degree of red in them.
My suggestion is that the advocacy page follow this tradition.
Its just a thought, someone with a better sence for design and 
layout should probably pick the actual colors.
