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. It seems that democracy as we have known it, cannot continue if the influence of money rules our processes. This was certainly not the way the founders of this country intended democracy, rule by we, the people, via elected officials. Stephen Stoker San Antonio, TX
