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.
Thank you for considering my comment.
P.S. The cowardly hiding behind anonymity is offensive to almost every US citizen and is as evil as misrepresenting your views and motives to attain public office. Our country NEEDS the sense, trust and reality of integrity in order to progress and it has been seriously undermined by recent business and legal practices.
Kristin Brigham
Sincerely,
Kristin Brigham
