Gentlemen/Ladies:

As a person with a pension fund and a mutual fund investor, I have been 
disturbed by the corporate frauds and CEO excesses of recent years. I therefore 
appreciate any improvements the SEC can make to the proxy rules 
that affect shareholders' ability to oversee companies they own.
I believe that shareholders ought to be able to choose directors and not just 
rubberstamp directors chosen by CEOs.
