Comments:
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 Consultant who has been proud to be involved in the business for 1.5years. I began my PartyLite business after using the product for 11years, to help pay some of the bills. The income I earn has allowed me to get out of some debt,and take some care of my mother. The proposals you are suggesting would make my business much more difficult and possibly impact myincome. Specifically, in terms of the reference requirement, I would nver feel comfortable providing the personal contact information of other people in PartyLite, nor would I want my own personal information given out freely. I fell good about sharing the PartyLite's very real business opportunity with others, and want to continue to easily introduce PartyLite to more people who could benifit as I have. The regulations you are prposing would hinder me from doing so-and would hinder others in starting their business in the timeframe they choose. Please know that I'm thankful that we have the FTC working to protect average sonsumers like me, but in this case,you will be working against me, impacting my income, my future and my family's future. Please reconsider the regulations you are proposing Respedtfully yours, Jacqueline Brown
