I am a hard working family man and an individual investor please understand PFOF Brokers and Wholesalers do not represent my interests. The SEC is smart enough to know C. Schwab, Citadel and IMC don't represent the individual investor because they are in a conflict of interest situation. That's why they stand in opposition to the new IEX proposal. Please, for the sake of the little guys and  individual investors support the proposed IEX Options Exchange. 
Best regards,
