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.
I absolutely endorse the above. Corporations are not people and do not have any place in our political process. The Supreme Court was wrong in it's Citizen's United decision. The SEC should help restore Democracy in our nation.
Sincerely,
Gayland Gump
