Dear SEC, as a small individual investor I would encourage you in adapting rules 
that would provide more shareholder input into corporate governance.  The 
shareholder are the owners of the company.  How is it they are not permitted to 
submit names for election to the board of directors?  
The recent looting of corporate America in an illustration of the failure of 
corporate boards of directors in their responsibilities to shareholder.  There is 
no accountability for such failures. 
Dear SEC, tighten up the rules.  Give shareholder more control over the companies 
that they own.    Jesse Walton
