Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09
From: Val Martin

I am a citizen of the United States and a proud Wyomingite. I am not an attorney; I am not familiar with legalese. I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and an advocate for my disabled parent. I am a landowner; I believe in the husbandry of landowners in the preservation of the land they are entrusted with. I am a small business owner, as well as a employee at two jobs for which I've worked over 25 years. I participate in my community, and believe in my country and her people. I live by the Constitution of the Untied States and the Bill of Rights. What I don't believe in is elected and appointed members of the government attempting to trample on and dissolve the rights of the American people, and transferring our sovereignty to foreign entities. As Wyoming's Secretary of State, Chuck Gray, stated, “The SEC’s unprecedented proposed rulemaking incentivizes both the woke ESG agenda and corporate abuses 0 by foreign actors through the creation of a federal scheme designed to benefit ‘natural asset companies’ through a problematic framework allowing investors to hold ownership rights and ‘management authority’ over arbitrarily valued ‘natural processes,’ such as minerals, water, and even air across private and public land for the sole purpose of blocking any sort of use or development,” ... “Make no mistake: the proposed rules are nothing more than a radical environmentalist attempt to cripple Wyoming’s core industries in an effort to further the Biden Administration’s radical 30X30 land grab agenda.” In other words, I say NO to NNACs and definitely NO to listing them on the NYSE.
