Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
Our system is so corrupt at this stage that we can no longer hold Third World Dictator's to a higher standard. We now have a "coin operated" Congress that is so entrenched in corporate money that they are worthless.
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,
Terry Cook
