Subject: File No. 4-637

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.

We are but small families trying to survive in a country with huge powerful forces going against us. The ever growing stress is destroying everything that we have worked for. When will it ever let up? The catasrophic results are happening before our eyes, and yet it only gets worse.

Thank you for considering my comment.

 

Sincerely,

Alexander Flores
