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. In other words, whether or not the political contributions of a company that makes SEC filings are funneled through a organization that does not disclose its donors, the SEC filed company's donation should be public.
