Subject: RE: Disclosure Effectiveness Review

Good morning:

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 in conflict with shareholders' or the non-participatory public's interests.

We have not - and will never - forget nor tolerate how America, defrauded by highly politically placed political incumbents, e.g. thru aiding or abetting rigging of the LIBOR, selling worthless securities to mutual funds that were sold as AAA investments to Americans' retirement plans (said unwitting investors who, as a result were refunded only pennies on the dollar) resulting in the largest shift of "Main Street" America's discretionary financial wealth into the hands of high-dollar sybarite perpetrators, whilst no proponents of said scheme - deemed by their incumbent cronies to be "too big to fail" were held in any way accountable.

Respectfully:
George Thompson, Sr.

JUSTICE BLINKERED BLIND

Look nigh, but beware, to behold that bold face of lies:
‘Neath' raw greed for power; not of innocents' flower, Its smile mocks its prey; a feigned decry to ply disguise, That beguiles of meekness, hiding true witness of its sour.

Forked tongue' quickening: tutors deepest penetrance Upon minds dulled dumb by too naïve trust, Wroughts doers of vigil witless, ajar to awful chance, And makes Truth a doting butler, serving fiendish lust.

They, who'd most egregious villainy do,
Would expunge its proof with their victims' garments And cast all three, for the same ditch too; All stitched in a suit of well-paid arguments.

For Justice, no longer Righteous' now' made a dandy; Keeps his colorfully feathered ruse and penury-hectoring gavel handy. ©Copyright George Thompson, Sr. 2015
