I fully support the IEX Application to become a National Securities Exchange. I do not work in finance professionally, but as a living and breathing citizen I realize the importance of markets to prosperity and security, and I think the attempt to deliver an honest and transparent exchange is in the interest of the entire country. I hope you will decide in their favor, and treat them fair and honestly in this process.
