To Jonathon Katz, Secretary SEC

This is to let you know that I am opposed to the proposed new rules 
governing shareholder  resolutions. These rules would in many ways make it 
more difficult for shareholders to submit resolutions and raise issues of 
concern about the corporations in which they hold shares.
The idea that the corporation can call equal opportunity issues ordinary 
business outside the purview of shareholders seems very strange to social 
responsibility investors for  whom social impact is as important as 
financial return. It also seems contrary to the understanding of 
shareholders as owners and therefore primary beneficiaries of the profits. 
There should be no limits to how often resolutions can be introduced except 
possibly sharing some of the cost..  Resolution sponsors should have the 
chance to counter misrepresentations in the management statement about the 
resolution with access to all voting shareholders. Lastly resolutions 
should not be excluded based on low percentage of company assets - which 
can be a very large dollar value.

Thank you.
