Subject: RE: Disclosure Effectiveness Review

The SEC and its commissioners should have a rule requiring disclosure of political spending from public companies. The rule should cover indirect means such as in the interests of their shareholders. Businesses should not be able to escape disclosure using means such as nonprofits or associations. Shareholders have a right to know how executives are using company resources for political purposes.
