Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations. I BELIEVE THE FUTURE AND SURVIVAL OF THIS COUNTRY DEPENDS UPON TRANSPARENCY, CANDOR, AND GOOD FAITH.
I strongly support the SEC issuing a rule IMMEDIATELY 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, & THROUGH INTERMEDIARIES), and WHICH CANDIDATES ARE BEING TARGETED AND ATTACKED.
ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION IS VITALLY NECESSARY TO A DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT.
Thank you for considering this comment.
Sincerely,
Nye Ffarrabas
