Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:

To many Presidents in the past have warned about the undue influence of corporations in deciding what is best for the US.

With the passing of CItizens United this is final blow to a true and accountable to the people democracy.

The power of the media is strong and is controlled by a few corporations. With out full disclosure of who is funding our politics the public could believe advertisements of being true when if fact they are just ads of deception.

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,
