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.
Why must members of Congress act like members of the "oldest profession" by always having their hand out to take money from any special interest group with a wad of bills in their hand?
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely,
Roger Clyne
