Rule Comments,
To Whom it May Concern; 
Corporate CEOs want the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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, like me, are invested in companies through our retirement savings. We depend on shareholder proposals as part of a democratic process that holds corporate CEOs accountable. 
Thank you for your time, 
Bob
