Dear Secretary Katz,

Re: File No. S7-19-03

I welcome the news that the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission is about to adopt corporate accountability reforms. I
wish to offer support on SEC proposal S7-19-03 regarding
security holder director nominations. 

I believe in democracy, and feel that if shareholders are
allowed to have a voice in picking corporate directors, the
reforms put forward by the SEC could possibly end the era of
overly powerful CEOs. However, as proposed, the rules contain
certain barriers, including high ownership thresholds and a
cumbersome two-year process, which would make them difficult for
investors to actually use. 

Please allow me respectfully to 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. 

thank you very much for your time.



Sincerely,

Justin Hart
