I've just read your article that urges investors to contact the SEC regarding 
disclosures and am simply overwhelmed with "Gee Whiz!  Another union protest ... "  
 
For years, those managing union pension funds have simply dumped their member's 
monies into mutuals ... without complaint and without a market clue.    No one's 
forcing them to do business with a particular ... or any ... fund.   If they don't 
like the way a fund does business, let 'em take their money and shuffle on down 
the road.  
 
This note is simply by way of saying that this is one investor that's getting 
more than a little sick of people who think more rules and/or laws will either 
ensure against losses or prevent dishonesty:  usually, such people are both 
dishonest and incompetent.  
 
I OPPOSE the SEC's proposed rule  to require mutual fund companies to disclose 
how they vote on corporate proxy resolutions.
