Dear Mr. Katz,
     
I am writing to comment on the proposed rule governing shareholder 
resolutions.
     
The vital role of shareholders must be recognized and valued considering the 
important role they play in promoting corporate governance.  
     
I ask that shareholders' rights be respected in the new rules, particularly 
by:
     
keeping the voting levels for resubmitting shareholder resolutions at 3, 6, 
10%;

dropping the personal grievance proposal;

repealing the Cracker Barrel in name and in reality;

dropping the proposal to have all resolutions relate to an issue worth $10 
million in sales.
     
Shareholder resolutions are not acting in the best interest of those filing 
the resolutions, they are intended to make this a better place for all of us.
     
Happy New Year
     
     
Patricia Rogers, OP
