Rule Comments,
I am a single parent, peer support specialist and educator in my hometown of Colorado Springs, CO. I have various investment portfolios plus a pension plan.
Corporate CEOs want the SEC to make it harder to submit shareholder proposals at company annual meetings. These shareholder proposals encourage companies to act more responsibly on important social policy issues such as reforming executive pay, respecting human rights and protecting the environment.
Working people are invested in companies through our retirement savings. We depend on shareholder proposals as part of a democratic process that holds corporate CEOs accountable. Thank you.
