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.
I heard on the news last night that the government officials in Washington are so tied down by their need not to make their rich donors unhappy, that the cease to consider what is right for the money. It is time to get big money interest groups the boots to stop managing the people we elect like puppets. let get back to the concept by and for the people a new chance!!!
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Priscilla WRight
