Microsoft made a bid to acquire rival Yahoo! and Yahoo!'s CEO, Jerry Yang, turned the bid down. Yang feels, as many do, that Yahoo! still has a bright future, based on the Yahoo! brand and ideals, and plans to steer Yahoo! in new directions. Yahoo! has proven itself able more than once, and should be allowed to steer its own course, without having the purchase offer from Microsoft shoved down its throat.
Now, however, Carl Icahn, Mark Cuban, and other Yahoo stockholders are trying to force Yahoo! to yield to Microsoft's purchase offer.
By signing this petition, we show not only our support for Yahoo! and their right to be autonomous, but we demonstrate that the public and Yahoo!'s user base want an independent Yahoo!, and, after all, without them Yahoo! is nothing.

Gentlemen: Please respect Yahoo's management decision to reject Microsoft's offer. I, and many others, feel that Yahoo will be much better for staying independent of Microsoft's claws. Thank you. RLK

Microsoft needs a re-examination of its values in light of a world that is moving into a new age of enlightenment. Yahoo, bravo for rejecting the takeover bid in the past. Keep up the good work. This situation smells of meglomania and greed. Do not sell your soul!!!

To the shareholders at Yahoo, just what do you think you are trying to do to us who love Yahoo? Leave them alone! Yahoo is the only "safe" program to use, the ONLY one. Microsoft is not. Nor has it been in many years. Leave Yahoo alone, and go sharehold with Microsoft if that is what you want. But not with Yahoo. Again, forget it!!! Let Yahoo be Yahoo ... P-E-R-I-O-D!!
