Subject: File No. 4-637

February 2, 2013

Dear Members of the Securities & Exchange Commission:

It's LONG past time to end secret political spending by corporations. It's time to stop corporations buying Congressional votes to shackle American citizens with corporate debt and greed.
 
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. I don't want to be governed by greedy corporations. It's NOT why I vote to elect my supposed Congressional representation.

Thank you for considering my comment.

 

Sincerely,

Beth Wilborn
