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.
Voters need to know. Need to judge a "leader" by his/her sponsor. It's the sponsor who benefits. Does the voter share in the benefit? --- NEED TO KNOW!!!
Bring Home America!
Sold American? Build American!! -- Build America!!!
Thank you for considering my comment.
PaPa Tom and Betty
Sincerely,
Thomas Halpin
