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.
The role of government is to do the most good for the most people and the environment for the longest time. By disclosing the corporate political spending you benefit the most people by giving them the opportunity to understand which corporations to address.
Sincerely,
Ken Crawbuck
