From: Cportm101@aol.com Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 8:34 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: Proxy Rules (s7-10-03) I am pleased that the SEC is reviewing the rules governing proxy voting and corporate governance. I hope that these rules will add meaning to the term stockowner. If corporate executives (hired hands) wish to continue to operate under the laws of a particular state, then let those corporations do busy only within the borders of that state. If I am willing to invest my pension/my future, then I want to know that I do have a voice in the affairs of 'my' company. Respectfully,
