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.
Thank you for considering my comment.
As a private citizen my political contributions are a matter of public record and I am not allowed to contribute over $2,500 (I think). If corporations are people, why don't they have to follow the same rules I do?
It doesn't make sense to me.
Sincerely,
Amy Mollberg
