Dear Secretary Katz,

I realize the official public comment period on proposed changes to SEC 
rule 14-a(8) has passed. However belated this might be, I wish to urge 
preservation the rule as it currently stands. I believe shareholder 
resolutions have been valuable in holding corporations accountable for 
environmental and human costs of their decisions and operations. Changes in
the rule resulting in restrictions on shareholder resolutions would in my 
opinion be a mistake that for shareholders and corporations alike.
