Dear Sir or Madam,
 
As an individual investor, I've been troubled these past couple of years 
by all the stories of corporate misfeasance.  I applaud the SEC for 
considering steps to increase the control shareholders have over the 
corporations that they in fact own.  I believe that the directors who 
manage public companies on behalf of the shareholders should truly answer 
to the shareholders, and should be directly selected by them.
