Subject: Proposed Shareholder changes

I am flabbergasted that the SEC would even consider the proposed policy 
of giving wealthy shareholders a stronger vote.  In essence, the proposed 
policy does just this.  People who may not be able to afford to be large 
shareholders in a company (in excess of 5%) would be discriminated 
against under the proposed policy.  It reminded me of the Jim Crow laws 
of the South ealier in this century.  I do not see much difference 
between "literacy" tests, property holder requirements and racial 
discrimination for voting and the proposed changes to SEC Policy 
regarding Shareholder Proposals.  Last checked, the US was still a 
Democratic country, not a oligarchy for the wealthy.  I urge you to 
examine the motives of those proposing change.  I firmly believe that 
they are not in the best interest of the country or publicy traded 
businesses.  I can only hope that the SEC look closely at  what this 
country stands for and how these changes are contrary to those 
principles.  I can only pray that you act in opposition of the proposed 
changes.
     
Sincerely,
