Dear Secretary Katz,

Re: File No. S7-19-03

I am pleased to hear the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
is on the verge of adopting historic corporate accountability
reforms. I am writing to urge your support on SEC proposal
S7-19-03 regarding security holder director nominations. 

 I urge the SEC to reject the overly constraining barriers and
to adopt final rules that truly will give shareholders a voice
in picking directors at America's largest corporations.
Corporate reform should be something investors actually can use.



Sincerely,

JOHN FORTIER
