Who do you work for, SEC regulators? Do you believe in and defend real democracy or are you enabling an oligarchic kleptocracy? Act in the interest of justice and fairness. Stand up for the truth and reject governmental corruption.

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.
