Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
It's long past time to STOP secret political spending by corporations.
So I strongly support the SEC issuing a rule NOW requiring publicly traded corporations to publicly disclose ALL of 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.
If you don't do THIS job, then what ON EARTH do you think you're doing? Respect by public officials is not "automatic" -- you must earn it. Do your jobs, please.
Sincerely,
Berkeley Fuller
