Subject: Shareholder Board Representation

The SEC should move quickly to allow shareholder nominees for boards of publicly
held companies.  These should be allowed to be in opposition to Board
nominations providing more than 5% of eligible shareholders withhold support for
one or more Board selected nominees.  It is time the owners of the companies had
a say in the outrageous pay practices and shoddy accounting methods of too many
of the current managers.
