Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations.
So I strongly support the SEC issuing a rule in the near future that would require publicly traded corporations to publicly disclose all their spending on political activities.
Both shareholders and the public deserve to know how much a given corporation spends on politics (directly and through intermediaries), and which candidates are being promoted or attacked.
Thank you for considering my comment.
It is so...Wrong...to allow corporations to corrupt our political system, with Large Amount of self-interest monies. Corporate spending is the first step to lose freedoms we have fought so hard to acquire. Corporate money can be schizophrenic, in a sycophantic way, extremely detrimental to the public's welfare.
Sincerely,
Kay Moore
