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.

We thought that it was one person one vote, but the U.S. Supreme Court has made it one dollar equal one vote. We need to change it back. 

Thank you for considering my comment.

 

Sincerely,

John Andrews
