The SEC and its commissioners should continue to work on a rule requiring political disclosure from public companies, in the interests of their shareholders. Businesses should not be empowered to use backdoor political channels like nonprofits or associations to do their political bidding, and shareholders have a right to know how executives are using company resources for political purposes — especially if those purposes are against shareholders' interests.

I and other voters will be closely monitoring how you perform your duty to keep undivulged corporate funds out of the hands of elected representatives or their surrogate organizations to engage in political activity. We will find it TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE if you allow these spurious activities to continue!
