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. THEN they can get rid of Citizens United and dump all this "corporations are people" garbage, AND rid us of the McCutcheon "money = free speech" theft. Rachel Wickart Normal, IL
