Hi,
All publicly held corporations should be required to disclose all campaign contributions. The intent of the McCain Feingold Act was to make sure this would hold true for any one contributing over $20,000. Unfortunately organizations found away around this by establishing 501 c4. Now it is time to hold these corporations accountable to their share holders and the public by being required to disclose these contributions.
I, for one, would look closely at those companies that contribute to causes and candidates that I feel take away the rights of the people. Right now I can not do that.
Please require that there be transparency so that my vote at the ballot box and my support of publicly held corporations can be true to my values.
