June 16, 2020
Vote AGAINST a pair of proposals at General Motors submitted by members of the AYS coalition. These proposals are ostensibly aimed at increasing the company’s protections for human rights and disclosures of lobbying activities. In fact, though, as their supporting statements themselves reveal, the real purpose of the provisions is to magnify union influence both within the business and in the broader political process, while curtailing management authority and throttling its efforts to preserve business-friendly policies nationwide.
Read more about AYS Coalition efforts to use “human rights” language to push leftwing political goals starting on page 33 of our Investor Value Voter Guide (discussed in the context of a similar proposal at Facebook), and to drive business interests out of lobbying efforts starting on page 37.

Vote AGAINST a pair of proposals at Delta submitted by members of the AYS coalition. The first of these proposals (No. 5) is another of these proposals that would subordinate Delta’s corporate planning to the ill-considered and unachievable goals of the Paris climate accords. The second (No. 6) is a copy of one of the proposals raised at General Motors, which is designed to force businesses to abandon the electoral fields to the forces that are even now burning down American cities in the name of racial division and ending capitalism.
In case you missed it just above, read more about AYS Coalition efforts to drive business interests out of lobbying efforts starting on page 37 of our Investor Value Voter Guide. Then follow it with a perusal (which we hope at this stage in the season is merely a brief refresher!) of our explanation of the fatal flaws of AYS Coalition climate policies, beginning at page 9.

Vote AGAINST a proposal submitted by Nia Impact Capital that mistakes surface diversity for genuine viewpoint diversity in ways that would work to establish race- and sex-based quotas and exacerbate grievance on those grounds at precisely the time that we should be working together to treat everyone as an unique person worthy of individualized evaluation and respect.
Read more about FEP objections to AYS efforts to establish quotas and spread division along racial and sex-based lines in our Investor Value Voter Guide, beginning at page 28.

In response to the liberal left’s outsized influence over corporate proxy ballot matters, the Free Enterprise Project (FEP) has debuted its first annual Investor Value Voter Guide to educate investors who want to vote in line with conservative and religious values.
