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.
Thank you for considering my comment.
I have something different for the supreme court...the president nominates a candidate, than congress nominates a candidate, than we the people elect the candidate to the supreme court which still remains a for life job...
Sincerely,
Michael P. Powers
