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.
It is undemocratic, immoral, and unethical for corporations to subvert the political processes for profit rather than for the greater good for the greatest number. Please hold them accountable.
Thank you for considering my comment.
