Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
I understand money buys votes. I also know an honest man has nothing to hide, so those who contribute to campaigns for corporations should be made public, at least the corporation, so the investor or person can make an informed decision to buy stock or product from said corporation. It is only fair.
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,
Guero Nunez
