Rule Comments,
I am retired, I own stock, and participate in a pension plan. 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. Real Main Street investors oppose making it harder for all Main Street investors to file shareholder proposals. Working people are invested in companies through our retirement savings. We depend on shareholder proposals as part of a democratic process that holds corporate CEOs accountable. Please do not allow rules tilted in favor of corporate CEOs!
