The Securities and Exchange Commission
Dear Securities and Exchange Commission,
It is necessary for the Securities and Exchange Commission to
require publicly-traded corporations to disclose all political spending
if we are to have a functional democracy.
Recent events, specifically the unleashing of super- PACs, are
showing how dangerous the spending of unreported millions on political
campaigns can be. Transparency is essential for the public, and for
corporate shareholders, to know where monies are being applied and in
advancement of what entities.
Sincerely,
Hank Saxe
