Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
Everyone knows what you are doing: everything to satisfy your habit of greed and everything to keep the middle class paying for your greed. You have become desensitized to what is fair. The problem for you is: you need the middle class. If we rebel, you lose, so let's cut to the chase and quit the unfair practices that sooner or later, we will reject and the emperors' nakedness will be obvious to al.
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.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Abbey
