Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
My ancestors arrived at Winthrop Colony in 1634, so I AM AN AMERICAN, and a HUMAN. I am qualified to state that our ancestors did not intend for corporations to "own" America.
It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations.
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,
Delcie Light
