As a shareholder in several mutual funds I think it is extremely 
valuable to mandate disclosure of proxy votes to shareholders.  
Since mutual funds are entrusted with the money of their shareholders, 
the consumer should be able to ensure their accountability.  
Shareholders need to make sure the company is doing what is in 
their best interest and not just caving in to the recommendations 
of the corporations.  I am also interested in ensuring corporate 
responsibility to the environment, social equity and the good of 
the community.  Knowing how our proxy votes are cast by our mutual 
fund companies will help us see if they are voting in our best 
interest or if we should take our business and our money elsewhere.
