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.
If I have to disclose my name,address, and occupation to donate a measly few dollars, why do big corporations not have to follow the same rules, after all according to the recent supreme court ruling,corporations are people too.
Sincerely,
glenn brawer
