Comments:

I am sriting this to express my strong opposition to the proposed Business opportunity Rule RS11993. The rule as proposed would make it very difficult for me to operate my business as a Shaklee Independent Distributor. I have been involved with Shaklee for more than 30 years. Orininally, I became a Shaklee Disbributor because I love the company's nutritional/personal care/household products and wanted to earn some additional income working from home. Now my family depend upon this extra income . While I appreciate the work of the FTC to protect consumers, I believe this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences for direct sellers and that there are less burdensome alternatives available to the agency to achieve this goals. Thank you for considering my comments. Sincerely, Gayle and Joe Stocker
