Subject: File No. 4-637

February 2, 2013

Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:

It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations. America has truely become the wasteland of the not so free, while the coup against Democracy in the US moves along SUCCESSFULLY...with these corporates laughing all the way to the bank with their ill gotten gains: money stolen from the people.
IT'S TIME TO evolve AND ACT RESPONSIBLY.
 
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,

carla dimondstein
