I wish to make known my opposition to the gag rule for stockholders.  I make 
investment decisions based on social responsibility and values I hold to be 
all-american, like equity, justice and open access to information.  I am not 
clear who's interest is forwarded by such a rule, but I strongly object.
     
Thank you,
