Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations.
The citizens United ruling has done more damage to our political system than anything else I can think of.
Please be "patriotic" and help to overturn this insane ruling to preserve the little we have left of what we call Democracy.
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,
Helmut Zitzwitz
