Dear members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
Force public disclosure of all publicly traded corporate donations to political parties.
Actually, I totally oppose outside money coming into my state and region to influence local elections. We who pay taxes in a district should decide on representation without outside corporate influence or money.
No representation without taxation! If you don't contribute to a locality and you don't reside in it, and you are not a registered tax paying company (note: TAX PAYING) to the community at issue, you should not have the right to influence elections in any way whatsoever.
Thank you,

Sincerely,
Olga Stavrakis, Ph.D.
