Securities and Exchange Commission
Dear Securities and Exchange Commission,
Despite what some of the most corrupt and greedy people, including the Greedy/Misguided Five justices sitting in the Supreme Court, money is the gag used to silence truth in science. Money/power is a subverting influence that prevents the truth from being known in this culture of "information," but only information that favors corporate interests -- no matter if it is invented for just that reason. (As in "pay to say.") Science has been "turned out" to perform its tricks in corporate halls and towers...
Cut to the chase: You need to recommend that the SEC return rule #4-637, and that it should be added to your agenda this year for swift enactment.
This rule, requiring public companies to disclose political spending and funding of trade and business associations, is essential to making our policy processes more transparent and holding corporations accountable for their political influence.
With no requirement for corporations to disclose political donations or funding of organizations, the public is left in the dark about how companies are using their money to hinder policies that are in the public interest.
This proposed rule has received more than one million comments of support--more than any other SEC rule. And 81 percent of Americans believe that corporations should only spend money on political campaigns if they disclose that spending publicly. Commissioners should not ignore this overwhelming public support and cave to pressure from business interest groups who want to continue to operate in secret.
Please enact rule #4-637.
Sincerely,
Rose Jenkins
