Fundamentalists Launch Shareholder Drive To Fight Microsoft On Gay Rights
(Seattle, Washington) A group of conservative religious leaders have formed a corporation to organize a shareholder revolt against what they call Microsoft's funding of the gay agenda.

AGN Financial is led by Rev. Ken Hutcherson (pictured), a Redmond, Washington pastor who has fought Microsoft on gay issues in the past. It's board of advisors includes longtime gay foes Don Wildmon of the American Family Association and Family Values leader Gay Bauer.

In a statement AGN said "that corporations are donating close to $1 Billion every year to promote the dissolution of family values in our society." Microsoft is the first corporation to be targeted but if the campaign is successful other companies will be added.

AGN this week launched its “Buy Three, Donate One” campaign where supporters are urged to buy three Microsoft shares and donate one to AGN.

1. They sure do like their constitutional liberties
Microsoft should be ashamed of itself for forcing christians to divorce in large numbers and insisting christian men fuck their young daughters or hang out in airport men's rooms. How horrible!! Bad microsoft. The only values these lunatics promote is hate and ignorance. They are the number one domestic enemy of the constitution.
