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's the least we can ask for, since American citizens should ask for a reversal of the Citizens United v FEC ruling that is undermining "We the People" of this country. Votes, not money should control our political system.
Thank you for considering my comment.
Sincerely
,Connie Briggs
