Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
The single greatest threat to our nation is corporate influence. Most of the mistakes we have made are motivated by money. The obvious two examples are slavery and our near economic collapse. We need you to wake up.
It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations.
So I strongly support the SEC issuing a rule in the near future that would require publicly traded corporations to publicly disclose all their spending on political activities.
Both shareholders and the public deserve to know how much a given corporation spends on politics (directly and through intermediaries), and which candidates are being promoted or attacked.
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
John Clark
