Subject: My Rights as a Shareholder (File No. S7-16-07)

September 28, 2007

Dear Chairman Cox:

As a shareholder in many corporations,I'm writing to request that you protect the right of investors to file shareholder resolutions and urge you to take no action on the proposed initiatives that would curtail or eliminate this essential right.

In the long run if these rights should be eliminated, I know shareholders like myself will end up dumping mass share holdings that could bring ruin to many corporations

Shareholder resolutions are an invaluable tool for investors who want to make their voices heard with regard to the direction of their companies. Shareholder resolutions have helped to promote transparency and improve corporate governance and performance.

They have called attention to critical issues, including global warming, nuclear power, sweatshops, executive compensation, natural resource extraction, and other major societal and environmental problems that, when not addressed, often end up costing shareholders and their companies as a result of lawsuits, damaged reputations, consumer boycotts, public protests, and low staff morale.

The many corporate scandals of recent years highlight how important it is to have more, not less, corporate transparency and accountability. Shareholder resolutions have proven effective in holding companies accountable to their owners. I ask that the commission safeguard, not undermine, their use.

To my understanding it is also the Duty of the SEC to protect my rights thus if they are eliminated, the SEC could be held legaly responsible for issues under the law. I assure if the SEC allows my rights to be eliminated as a shareholder, Criminal and Civil charges will be filed against ALL whom are involved.

Thank you for your attention to my comments.

Sincerely,
Skeeter Durham
