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.

The Supreme Court said that there would be public exposure of the money that was spent on elections. It is the SECs duty to make sure that information is provided. I am sick an tired of the government working to make the wealthy immune from all legal consequences for their criminal behavior, while throwing the book at the rest of us.
