Dear SEC Secretary,

I am writing in support of the SEC's proposed rule to require mutual fund 
companies to disclose how they vote on corporate proxy resolutions.

The issue of full disclosure is a simple one, which opponents must strain to 
fashion a plausible argument against non-disclosure.  

Disclosure is not the problem.  It is instead the recognition that individuals 
might have to explain or be associated with the position that they have taken 
which is disturbing.

I urge the SEC to stand up for investors and for corporate accountability and 
to vote in favor of the proposed proxy voting rule.
