Mr Cox,
When you took your Oath of Office to run the SEC, you were bound to protect the common investor.
What have you done other than to allow the criminal elements within your organization to continue to manipulate the system. THIS HAS TO STOP.
Many people have lost their retirement,their kids college funds,their homes and lifesavings.
Is this the American way? I think not.

Mr.Cox, YOU are either with us or against US(A). Your legacy rests on this all important issue.

ELIMINATE THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE.
STOP THE NAKED SHORTING IN OUR MARKETPLACE.
RESTORE RESPECTABILITY TO OUR MARKETS.

DO YOUR JOB....TRUTH,JUSTICE,..THE AMERICAN WAY

Signed,
A regular Joe, who has been ripped off for over six figures.

PS. My Great Grandfather lost his fortune in 1929 when the Market collapsed because of manipulation.
If we don't understand HISTORY were doomed to repeat it.
