Subject: File No. 4-637

February 2, 2013

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.
    It seems the SEC is staffed by bought and paid for "Cowards" as long as you can hide behind your corporate protection , wall street and the banking industry can do as they please . because of you allowing them to walk on water they can play buy the government of your choice. Cowards , secrets always come to light sooner or later . How padded your pockets are as well. ACCOUNTABILITY NOW

Thank you for considering my comment.

 

Sincerely,

Ronald Buchanan
