Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Save Our Rights! Send to a Friend | Donate Now | Join Our Activist Network Dear kerri, As you are aware, there are many tools PETA uses to encourage companies to move toward better animal welfare practices. One of the tools we use is buying stock in corporations and using our power as a shareholder to submit resolutions asking companies to take steps in the right direction. Unfortunately, our ability to do this may be threatened by new regulations. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering rule changes that would seriously weaken the rights of stockholders to file shareholder resolutions on issues such as animal testing and factory farming. The SEC is clearly on the wrong track. We need more shareholder involvement in American corporations—not less. The SEC should focus on putting the interests of shareholders first. We need you to help us save the rights of shareholders to use the resolution process to encourage responsible action by corporations. Please urge Congress to monitor this situation and get involved to ensure that, above all other things, the SEC is a servant of the American public and its best interests. Do not allow our voice to be silenced! Click here to take action on this important issue now. Sincerely, Stephanie DownsPETA Visit the web address below to tell your friends about this.
