As a concerned shareholder, I am writing to express my full support for any 
and all measures that give shareholders greater access to the director 
nomination process for U.S. companies.
 
The more qualification requirements, thresholds, and triggering events there 
are in place, the more shareholders WHO OWN THE COMPANIES OF CONCERN will be 
excluded from the only processes giving them a real voice in the affairs of 
companies that THEY own.
 
Democracy can be expensive, but it works.  Give shareholders broad access to 
the process, and let decisions be made during voting.  Shareholders will do 
the right thing.
 
Thanks for providing this opportunity for input.
