Subject: RE: Disclosure Effectiveness Review

The SEC and its commissioners should continue to work on a rule requiring political disclosure from public companies, in the interests of their shareholders. Businesses should not be empowered to use backdoor political channels like nonprofits or associations to do their political bidding, and shareholders have a right to know how executives are using company resources for political purposes — especially if those purposes are against shareholders' interests.

This country was founded under a democracy based on native American politics and based on the fact that the colonists didn't want to be ruled under the crown. This corporate secret spending on influencing campaigns needs to come out of the shawdows. Stop being afraid of these elitists. Because they are doing exactly same type of ruling that the crown did. Elections should be based on fair votes. This is rape. Please stand up for our rights
