Dear Sir. I do not support rules to allow shareholders to use the company proxy 
to nominate directors. I believe such rules would degrade corporate elections 
to the same rank as political elections and damage the ability of corporate 
directors to use their judgments wisely and come to strong consensus. I believe 
this rule is not warranted given that corporations are still struggling with a 
Sarbanes-Oxley law passed in haste. Please do not burden corporations with more 
rules and regulations. Directors who are not responsive can be removed or chastened 
through regulations already in place. Let them work first and do not pile more 
burdens on the generators of prosperity in this nation. 

Thank you

John Santoro
