Subject: File No. 4-637
From: Theron Kabrich

Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
"P" as in "public"... there needs to be full disclosure of how a publicly traded company spends its shareholders' money  - specifically! This is a demand, not a simple observation or request.

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,

Theron Kabrich
