Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
End secret political spending by corporations, such spending is dissonant with our basic American democratic principals, and I do not believe it serves shareholders either, since they are not informed.
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,
David Wemett
