Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission: I am sick and tired of the power of artificial entities, created by the government, having the power to undermine the democratic process. Corporations are not people and money is not free speech. Political spending must be transparent for all to see. It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations. 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, John Reese
