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.

Without trusted watchdog organizations like Public Citizen and trusted political leaders like Sen. Sanders & Sen. Warren, our democracy would be completely gone by now! Please do your job and require corporations to disclose their political spending! Don't pave the way for the oligarchy!
