Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission: It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations. 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. Honestly this is a minimum requirement toward returning democracy to the people, that is individual citizens- not corporations or only the powerful few. Thank you for considering my concern and comment. Sincerely, Carol A. Beesing |
