While there are some "free speech" issues involved, everyone
keeps "toe dancing" around what I consider to be a central and
critical concern, i.e. "corporate governance."

It should be noted that it is *NOT* the corporation's money that
will be spent on political activity but the stockholders. This
is simply a continuation and expansion of the on-going practice
of "skimming" corporate profits/assets for the benefit of the
directors and officers at the expense of the owners
[stockholders].
