Subject: File No. 4-637

If you are afraid of what people might think about your contributions, there must be a reason, meaning that you are parto fo the problem.  Start being part of the solution.  Full Disclosure, or go home and don't even bother to try to run.  This should be our rule.  The problem is that there are congresmen who desparately WANT to be bought.  This is UN-AMERICAN!  FIX IT!

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.

 

Sincerely,

Chris Johnston
