Dear Mr. Levitt,
   I am completely opposed to any rule that would   prevent many stockholder
initiatives from being deliberated and voted upon at open stockholder meetings.
Stockholders should have every freedom to try to  influence the company in which
they invest.  Any attempt to restrict this freedom is antidemocratic.  Labor 
unions must be organized in a democratic way. Why not businesses?  Do not restrict
my freedom as a stockholder.

Sincerely,


Andrea Palmer
