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.

Use your authority to require companies to disclose the secret money they spend trying to influence elections. ITS TIME TO REIGN IN THIS ABSURD AND DESTRUCTIVE WAY THAT COMPANIES HAVE TO CONTROL OUR ECONOMY AND THEREFORE OUR LIVES.
Thank you,
