Hello Patrick, IE likes to play tricks to bewilder, change the following in 
these rule sets.

#content {
margin: 0 0 0 262px;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
width: 538px; /* delete triggering hasLayout */
background-image: url(Images/content_bg_01.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
}

#textarea {
margin: 0px 50px 0 30px; /* change top margin to zero */
padding: 0; /* delete */
padding-top: 85px; /* add pushes "About Us" down */
text-align: left;
}

>From the special IE stylesheet

#content {margin-left: 0;} /* delete */

The 10px difference as seen in IE is due to the #content div having ... 
"hasLayout" [1]. Basically for most browsers the #content divs' left margin of 
262px begins at the left edge of the #wrapper div [2] but for IE this left 
margin begins at the right edge of the floated #sidebar div, that why margin:0 
brought it close. When the #content div doesn't have hasLayout IE will behave 
like the other browsers. 

BTW, the height given to the #footer div is causing text breakout on text 
resize. You may want to work with this.
