Rule Comments, I am a Social Worker, zealous cancer fighter advocate and volunteer co-leader of a cancer support group in a major academic medical center. I'm a small time Main Street investor and care very much about corporate responsibility: labor standards, executive compensation, human rights and the environment. I feel and believe that corporate CEOs want the SEC to make it harder for investors 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. Fellow working people are invested in companies through our retirement savings. We critically depend on shareholder proposals as part of a democratic process that holds corporate CEOs accountable. Fellow working people investors oppose making it harder for us to file shareholder proposals. Jack David Marcus [redacted]
