Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
I believe campaign contributions should be made by human citizens, not corporations. However, the Supreme Court has discovered that corporations are undying campaign sources for corrupt politicians. I am looking to you folks to at least force these gargantuan super beings to make their contributions public in order for us voters to at least know just how corrupt our politicians have become.
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,
George Waring
