Dear Mr. Katz,
     
It is difficult for me to imagine how the SEC can possibly think that rules 
changed to favor the corporations will be just and fair to the shareholder 
who is socially responsible. I am opposed to any rule changes that make it 
more difficult for the shareholder to address injustices of a corporation. 
That is what the new rule changes will do.
     
It has been proven that a coportation who acts with social responsibility is 
also financially sound. When corporations fail to address issues such as 
diversity in the workplace, equality of wages, environmental impact and 
other issues of social importance, they also fail financially. Shareholders 
are concerned about this matter.
     
Please do all that you can to stop the changes from going forward.
     
Sincerely,
