| It would be hard, this week, to overstate how pressing is the need to keep American businesses free of the scourge of politicization. |
|
| The country has grown more politicized, even as politics have grown far more vitriolic – and dangerous. A moment when our cities burn and civic disagreement has swung from civil to deadly is hardly the time to allow our corporations to be drawn into partisan rancor. |

Thank you for your help in the vital work of restoring neutrality to business life.

June 10, 2020
Vote AGAINST a proposal submitted by Fonds de solidarite des travaileurs du Quebec. The proposal is ostensibly aimed merely at generating further disclosure of company election activity. In fact, though, the real purpose of the provisions is to magnify union and leftwing influence in the broader political process, while throttling company efforts to preserve business-friendly policies nationwide.

(In honor of the proposal proponents, make sure to read this in your best French accent.)

Vote AGAINST a familiar proposal submitted by John Cheveddan: another effort to push a corporation – this time American Airlines – out of the political process, leaving the field clear for the “end capitalism” crowd whose efforts permeate every shareholder meeting we attend.
Again, read more about AYS Coalition efforts to push those of us on the right of the political spectrum out of public life entirely, starting on page 37 of our Investor Value Voter Guide.

The theme continues. Vote AGAINST the Friends Fiduciary proposal that follows exactly the same language as the Cheveddan proposal to American Airlines above, and that would have the same effect.

June 11, 2020
Vote AGAINST a proposal by Jantz Management at Dollar Tree that, while a terrible idea that we have seen before, at least breaks up the monotony a bit this week. The proposal would force the company into compliance with UN-driven carbon-control mandates that will carry high price tags without accomplishing their purpose, even under the UN’s own presumptions.
Read more about the manifold flaws in the AYS Coalition’s climate-policy proposals, and of the counterproductive costs that would accrue from following them, starting on page 9 of our Investor Value Voter Guide.
