Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:

Who owns the govenrment?  It seems it's no longer owned by the People, but by huge corporations who threaten to send their money out of the country, then get whatever they want.  This must end!

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.

Sincerely,
