Disclosing Dissension: Shareholders Push for More Control of Corporate Political Spending

OMB Watch:
"Although the Federal Election Commission (FEC) is again trying to implement the Citizens United decision, shareholders across the country are refusing to wait for more control over corporate political spending.

On June 8, shareholders of Target Corporation sharply questioned the retailer's political contribution policy during the company's annual meeting. This close scrutiny is a result of the corporation's controversial decision to contribute $150,000 to a conservative political action committee in August 2010."
