Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
If money can be inserted into our politics with secrecy doesn't this open the door for our foreign enemies to interfere? Not all foreigners have our best interests in mind. This was under control until the Supreme Court issued it's Citizens United ruling. We have to change that.
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,
Wayne Foote
