Dear Members of the Securities & Exchange Commission:
It's LONG past time to end secret political spending by corporations. It's time to stop corporations buying Congressional votes to shackle American citizens with corporate debt and greed.
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. I don't want to be governed by greedy corporations. It's NOT why I vote to elect my supposed Congressional representation.
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Beth Wilborn
