To the Chairman of the SEC,

If shareholders can not pick their representatives, and if CEOs do, 
no one should be surprised if boards fail to protect shareholders, 
and instead protect the executives.

I am sick and tired of golden parachutes, and horribly excessive
executive compensation, raiding pension trusts.

If you don't know what I mean, then YOU are the problem.  The SEC is intended 
to protect the Public's interests.
