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 for it is their money 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. There should be transparency it is only failr. Why is it that as I person I can only contribute $2500 per candidate per election and my contributions are part of the public record. If corporations are considered people shouldn;t they have to live by the same rules?
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
C Oerke Jr
