Sign the petition: Make corporations disclose political spending

 Citizens United is "united," but not in the interests of the citizens: We, the People. Stop letting the conservative RIGHT WING control our country just because they have more money. Our checks-n-balances have been UNBALANCED by the allowance of special interest groups to lobby AND contribute financial support behind a shroud of secrecy! Please sign this petition and help to protect our elections from unscrupulous special interests that OPPOSE the interests of We, the People! (njb)

The Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling opened the floodgate to corporate money in our political campaigns, but the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) can pull back the curtain and unveil the shroud of secrecy.
As the federal agency with the job of protecting investors from corporate abuse, the SEC is well within its authority to require that all publicly traded corporations disclose how they're spending money in elections. But it won’t happen without a fight.
Join Daily Kos and People For the American Way in urging that the SEC require publicly traded corporations to disclose how they spend their money in politics.
