I have been an investor in the stock market for many years. Recent revelations 
regarding improper behavior and "generous" salaries of CEO's has made me more 
aware than ever of the minimal input shareholders have in the governance of the 
companies we own.  The choice to approve or disapprove management's proposed 
slate of directors once per year is just one example of the lack of power that 
shareholders have.  I applaud the fact that the SEC is willing to review its 
rules to see how investors can receive greater protection from entrenched 
management, and a more powerful voice in the companies we own.
