Subject: S7-16-07

August 15, 2007

Dear Chairman Cox,

I am appalled by S7-16-07--an attempt to weaken or destroy my right to file non-binding advisory resolutions under Rule 14a-8.

This is the only way I know of to voice my concerns about a corporation. Why would you want to strip all of us of that right?

President Bush has taken away too many of our rights and liberties--please don't you do so.

Peace,
