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.
Further, it is imperative that you stop this country from contiuing down the road of "ruled by the rich." Our politicians are known to be controlled by the political donations given by the rich corporations; it time that stopped and the SEC can lend the American people a hand in the regard by making corporations report their donations to politican causes.
Casper T. Green
Sincerely,
Casper Green
