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.
North Carolina Republicans could never have taken this state on their own, but there was plenty of (undisclosed) outside money that helped them sweep into the State House entirely. Now, there is no opposition to anything they do -- and they are doing A LOT OF DAMAGE WITH A VENGEANCE!
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Christa Jones
