Securities and Exchange Comm.
Dear Securities and Exchange Comm.,
I have long been disturbed by the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case. I believe that corporations have virtually unbridled power to sway elections in their favor as they pour money into the election process.
I also understand that the Securities and Exchange Commission can require corporations to disclose their political spending.
I urge the Securities and Exchange Commission to require corporations to disclose their spending on political issues. At least we, the public, can be made aware of what is happening, and act more forcefully and intelligently to control the influence. It is we, individual citizens, that should choose our political leadership!
Sincerely,
Martha McKnight
