Dear SEC Secretary,

	I am writing in support of the SEC's proposed rule to require mutual 
fund companies to disclose how they vote on corporate proxy resolutions.  

	I believe that as an owner of a mutual fund, I am entitled to know how 
my proxy is being voted. I urge the SEC to stand up for investors and for 
corporate accountability and to vote in favor of the proposed proxy voting rule.

	The recent wave of corporate scandals provides ample evidence that corporate 
America need greater accountability.  Mutual funds, which represent about millions 
of Americans.  As such, mutual funds can play a major role in insisting on more 
responsible behavior on the part of publicly traded companies.
