We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

Make it unlawful for publicly owned companies to make political contributions or publicly support candidates

Created by J.S. on August 13, 2016

This issue is important to me because it is absurd that a company that is publicly owned can contribute to political action committees. It is just a back door way to contribute to the campaign of somebody running for office. A publicly owned company cannot speak for the beliefs or standings of all of its shareholders. If I own stock in a company, I own a portion of that company. The board members of that company have no right to use my money to support a certain party or candidate. This is an issue that affects every citizen in this country. It's unfair, unethical and corrupt.
