Lighten up on the restriction in the election process or nothing will change 
for the better.  It'll be just more of the same and that no longer works.  
The eligibility requirements and up to a two-year waiting period is ill 
concieved.  Do not eliminate, but do make the ownership requiremements much 
lower. The nomination process ought to be eliminated altogether. It is 
counter-productive.  I am a long term holder of securities and have been 
hurt by crooks who controled too much without we shareholders having a 
dream of a chance.  Enough.
