Comments:
Dear Federal Trade Commission Member: I am writing to ask that you reconsider some of the requirements you are proposing to regulate the direct sales industry. I am a PartyLite Leader and have been working in this business for 4 years. In that time I have been able to build an income that allows our family the choice for me to stay at home with our first child being born in July. Our family income will not be jeopardized as it has replaced my full time job income. What a blessing to have this choice, as most families this day and age have no choice but to find daycare for their children. Our family would not have such a choice if it were not for the PartyLite income opportunity. In addition, I have brought many people into this busines, who have been able to use this opportunity to support themselves and their families. The regulations you are planning would make it incredibly difficult to introduce anyone to this opportunity. One of the best things about this business is that anyone can start this business and be earning money within a timeframe of two weeks. Most people join PartyLite because they need income right away, and your proposal would make them wait even longer. In addition, I cannot see myself sharing private information about other PartyLite consultants and I certainly do not want my private information shared without my consent. Please reconsider your proposals to regulate legitimate, professional direct sellers like me. You will only end up impacting my income, my future and my family's future. Respectfully yours, Tiffany Corbett UL -
