I as an individual investor I urge to 
protect the interest of the american people, 
yes us the middle class! We all want to have 
the shorting Rules that currently cover the 
Main Exchanges (the NASDAQ, NYSE, and the 
AMEX), Extended to the stocks and companies 
that trade on the OTCBB, and we also wish 
that the Uptick rule is KEPT IN PLACE for 
our protection so as to avoid 'bear raids' 
and 'pile on' attacks by the shorts!
