This is the VERY LEAST that can be done to insure some level of investor 
control. I own stock in about 10 public companies and an equal number of stock 
funds. I have never felt that management gave two hoots in hell if I got a 
glimmer of influence over board elections. I routinely deny every director in 
protest. (I vote against nearly all Missouri plan judges as well.)
