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.
A government of, by, and for Corporations and their very narrow profit interests, is essentially referred to as Fascism. This governmental form has been tried before in history and was found to be lacking. Is the Supreme Court so ignorant of history?
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Dan Freeman
