Dear SEC Secretary,

I am writing in support of the SEC's proposed rule to require mutual 
fund companies to disclose how they vote on corporate proxy resolutions, 
which often deal with issues of concern to me.  

I have funds in several mutual fund families, including Vanguard, 
T Rowe price, Pax World, and TIAA-CREF.

As a mutual fund shareholder, I want to know how my mutual fund is 
voting on issues, especially in light of recent corporate scandals.

I believe that as an owner of a mutual fund, I am entitled to know 
how my proxy is being voted. I urge the SEC to stand up for investors 
and for corporate accountability and to vote in favor of the proposed 
proxy voting rule.
