Subject: Give shareholders the right to elect directors

Please do not bow to the pressure of corporate insiders.  Shareholders must have 
the right to select directors of the companies they own.  The greed of corporate 
executives and directors has recently been amply demonstrated and there is no 
reason to suppose that their greed has been reduced by past events.  It is the 
responsibility, therefore, of the SEC to promulgate rules that return corporate 
governance to the hands of the owners - the shareholders.

The shareholders of the world will thank you.
