Subject: RE: Disclosure Effectiveness Review

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 type of abuses listed above are just some of the many reasons ordinary folks like me are fed up with the rich and powerful co-opting our democracy--and that's why this year's presidential election is so different. Elected officials  and bureaucrats alike had better pay attention to the will of the people.
