From: Dan Brown [dbrown@bruxton.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2003 8:17 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: Petition for Rulemaking (SEC File No. 4-461) I am writing in support of the petition 4-461. Of necessity, most of the money that I am saving for retirement is invested in the stock of public corporations subject to SEC rules. It is important to me to be able to effectively contribute to the oversight of those corporations in which I have invested. The current system of electing directors is inadequate. I view this petition as a significant step towards bringing true shareholder democracy to the oversight of corporations. -- Dan -- Dan Brown Bruxton Corporation http://www.bruxton.com 206 782-8862 x103
