My wife, Carol, and I feel 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. The SEC needs to use its authority to require companies to disclose the secret money those companies are spending in trying to influence elections. Citizens' United must end since undemocratic corporate influence in American politics is running rampant and ruining our country! Paul Strand South Holland, IL
