I sincerely believe that investors should have more power to elect corporate 
board members other than the ones promoted by curreent board members and CEO's.  
I also believe that those new board members proposed for election by 
shareholders should also by put on ballots which are sent out by the companies.  
This might lengthen the time required to send out proxies to shareholders but 
without this method it is impossible to elect new members to company 
boards!!!!!!
 
Sincerely,
