Subject: Proposed SEC regulation changes Date: 11/13/97 10:48 PM I wish to express my opposition to the proposed regulation changes. The holding of shares by ordinary citizens (those of us in the big bulge at the low end of the income distribution), and the collective exercise of the rights such holdings entitle us to, are important parts of the contemporary American political economy. To alter the rules covering shareholder resolutions in any way that diminishes the scope of small shareholder involvement is to diminish the quality of the economic component of American democracy.
