Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
The time has come to take back our government from Big Business. This country is a laughing stock to the rest of the world who see all too clearly who is truly making the policies for The United States of America. And it's not The People. And these policies are not of The People or for The People. And The People are finally scrutinizing what has happened to our government while we were busy living our lives and trusting our elected officials to look out for our collective interests.
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,
Lynnley Wilson
