  As an American, I believe we get more freedom and economic benefit by
having some small choice in who runs our country.  This is contrasted with
Russia's current system of government where there is an election of members
approved by Putin, and those not on his friends list are disqualified.  I
don't believe any American would rather have that system.
  So why is it the recommended system by many monarchs of the business
world?  Why, as an owner of a piece of a company, do I have no input on who
should guide it?  This type of system is only preferable as a means of
keeping power when you don't deserve it.  Anyone who truly is capable never
fears more scrutiny or competition as they will be the better for it.

  Please enact rules that will allow the owners of the company a right to
nominate people for fair elections.  In the age of the internet the cost is
not as high as a director who is nominated only because they will not rock
the boat.
