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.
At age 76 we have watched the changes take place in this matter.
Our country is being ruined, we must put a stop to 'corporate rule'
or we are going to regret not stopping it. Enough is enough!
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Donna Lee & Gregory von Falkenberg-Ridley
