Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:

With no requirement for corporations to disclose their political spending, neither for whom or how much and with no input from their shareholders,we are allowing big business to buy our politicians. This is an extremely dangerous situation. Please require corporations to disclose their political spending. If you don't, democracy as we once knew it could become just a memory of days gone by.

Sincerely,

Leah Ward
