Dear Chairman Clayton, The amendments to Rule 14a-8 proposed by the SEC will severely limit the rights of shareholders to engage with corporations. As a constituent concerned about corporate accountability and investor protection, I strongly oppose these proposed rule changes. The rules would inhibit important progress from being made on critical matters such as climate risk that are crucial to the public interest. The SEC is designed to protect investors, not shield corporate executives from accountability! These changes simply demonstrate, once again, that the current administration cares nothing for the individual citizen. I strongly oppose these changes and urge the SEC to reconsider. Sincerely, William Osmer [redacted]
