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.

I am no longer investing in ANY corporate stock due in large part to my absolute refusal to help finance the destruction of our democracy by the greedy effing rich. If corporations are not required to disclose their political spending they won't. If I cannot be certain that a given corporation is not financing the ongoing corruption of our democracy then I will not invest in ANY of them.
