Despite the vociferous opposition of entrenched management, S7-19-03 should be 
become law.  Currently, shareholders have very little chance of getting their 
concerns addressed by boards composed of directors who are the lackeys of senior 
management.  Because entrenched management is permitted to fight shareholders 
with shareholder money, and require shareholders to spend addition sums to run a 
competing director, it is nearly impossible for shareholders to have a voice in 
the company they own.
