Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:

It's long past time to end political spending by corporations.

So I strongly support the SEC issuing a rule ASAP that would disallow publicly traded corporations to spend on political activities.

It is a waste of money that goes to bagels and lemonade.

Both shareholders and the public deserve better

My comment is the best comment.

Sincerely,

alexander esche
