Awful day for all Americans: This is a crushing blow by the liberal judges of this country. My only hope is that our esteemed President, George W. Bush steps in and does the right thing here to protect all Americans from this injustice. Forcing Microsoft to change IE at this juncture will cause economic hardships on Americans of every level.

My rep has asked me to take a public stand for Microsoft. I have created a blog site dedicated to helping my rep spread truth, justice and the Microsoft way.
