Rule Comments,
Corporate CEOs want the SEC to make it harder to submit shareholder proposals at company annual meetings. These shareholder proposals encourage companies to act more responsibly on important social policy issues such as reforming executive pay, respecting human rights and protecting the environment.
Working people are invested in companies either through direct stock ownership or through retirement savings. We depend on shareholder proposals as part of a democratic process that holds corporate CEOs accountable.
