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.
------------------
All Political Spending must be declared and transparent. It must be Checked Closely. Then Prosecution against Undeclared Money spent and contributed must Be Enacted and Enforced.
Penalties must be Severe.
OR we Can't Trust Any Politician or Group. The Country has ended.
Sincerely,
hannah zeleny
