To Mr. Jonathan Katz, SEC Secretary:
 
Please note that I fully support the efforts of the Committee of Concerned Shareholders
and James McRitchie with respect to their Petition for Rulemaking (SEC
File No. 4-461). It is time that democracy should come to the  corporate
ballot. Shareholders (the true owners of corporate America)  should be
entitled to a fair and impartial opportunity to elect truly  independent
Directors. Further, recent corporate events have demonstrated that
individual Shareholders need an effective means by which undesirable
Directors can be held accountable, e.g., removed from office via use of the
simplified Shareholder Proposal procedure. Individual Shareholders should
be able to act as their own watchdogs when it comes to improving corporate
governance.

Sincerely,
Kelle Louaillier, Associate Director
