Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:

A movie that came out in the 70's,"Rollerball", hypothesized that corporations would have ultimate control of our government. Back then it seemed unlikely - today it seems more than likely.

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,
