Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
My first choice would be that each political candidate would be limited in how much they could receive and spend on their campaign. Since that kind of fair and honorable action seems impossible these days, I guess the next best thing is for full disclosure....
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.
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Susan Floyd
