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.
We need to maintain faith in our government's Keepin us protected from the current abuses that come from "backroom tradeoffs." ALL of us must foster transparency so that we can trust each other. We must never allow what is going on in Brazil to happen here!
