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.
After all, this country was founded on principles to support and protect its citizens.....who are in actuality people, and not corporations who are becoming an out-of-control abberation of the balance needed for a healthy and sustainable society of people.
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Trula Thompson
