Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
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.
Big Money from the Koch Brothers, Karl Rove's Super PAC. from a Billionaire Las Vegas Casino owner,the Chamber of Commerce, Ralph Reed, formerly with the Christian (?) Coalition, amounting close to a Billion Dollars, was spent to deframe President Obama and in attempts to deny American Citizens their Right to Vote. It is time to put a STOP tp this.
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Frank Libbon
