Comments:
Dear Federal Trade Commission Member, I'm writing to ask that you please reconsider some of the requirements that are being proposed to regulate the direct sales industry. As a PartyLite Consultant of 2 years, I've enjoyed the rewards and benefits of my business. The reason I joined in the first place is because it is a flexible business that helps me pay my bills, especially during the summer months. The proposals suggest that my income could be impacted. Also, in terms of the references requirement, I wouldn't feel comfortable providing personal contact information of others in PartyLite, nor would I want my own personal information given out freely. I am very comfortable sharing the PartyLite business opportunity with others and enjoy making life easier for others as PartyLite has done for me. These proposed regulations would hinder me from sharing the opportunity and would also hinder others considering the opportunity as they wouldn't be able to choose the time frame for starting their business. I am thankful that we have the FTC working to protect consumers such as myself. In this case, I feel the FTC would be working against me, not only impacting my income, but impacting my and my family's future. Again, please consider the proposals on the table. I appreciate the opportunity to voice my opinion. Very Sincerely Yours, Dawnette Cress PartyLite Consultant Santa Maria, CA
