Ban corporations from our political system! Only registered voters should participate in elections. Businesses could send info, speak out, but not give money, speaking fees or anything else of value.  Corporate Money = Corruption!

Campaigns should disclose to SEC and public all receipts.

 

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.
