Subject: RE: Disclosure Effectiveness Review

The SEC and its commissioners should continue to work on a rule requiring political disclosure from public companies, in the interests of their shareholders. Businesses should not be empowered to use backdoor political channels like nonprofits or associations to do their political bidding, and shareholders have a right to know how executives are using company resources for political purposes - especially if those purposes are against shareholders' interests.

POLITICAL DISCLOSURE FROM PUBLIC COMPANIES KEEPS EVERYBODY ON MORE OF A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD; SHAREHOLDERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY ALL OF ONE PARTY, AND THEREFORE DO NOT WANT TO BE PART OF SUPPORTING ANOTHER PARTY'S POLITICS!
