February 04, 2013 Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission: It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations. 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. Further! We the people are restricted by laws banning actions by religious groups and non-profits. Why do business organizations get such access? How about some division of business and state? Get business out of politics! Sincerely, Leslie Halberg
