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.
