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 constitution guarantees free speech. It does not guarantee anonymity. One's exercise of free speech carries with it the responsibility to acknowledge publicly the identity of the "speaker".
