Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations.
So I strongly support the SEC issuing a rule in the near future that would require publicly traded corporations to publicly disclose all their spending on political activities.
Both shareholders and the public deserve to know how much a given corporation spends on politics (directly and through intermediaries), and which candidates are being promoted or attacked.
Citizens United disturbs me very much. America is ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE. "We the people" demand that that be the rule of law. I condemn Citizens United and the related funds that now influence our elections and our government.
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Webers
