Comments:
Dear mambers of the FTC. First I would like to thank you for protecting us consumers from fraudulant business's and claims. I have just started with a direct sales company in April of '06, and found from my own dudiligence a respectful company that is legitimate. During the last couple of months in my business I have grown to learn people skills and business skills that I would not have learned outside of this industry. I am a professional Automotive Technician and the chemicals and toxins I am exposed to are dangerous and deadly. This business is an opportunity for me to live a healthy life, support my future wife so my kids have a stay at home mom. However some of your proposed rules will affect legitimate business's such as my own. The seven day waiting period rule is by far going to be detrimental. We market a juice that has changed lives. If I tell someone they have to wait seven day until they can pay for the juice, they may wonder if I am selling something bogus. I can understand your concerns, but it will effect some of the good business's. The only other business I am aware of that you have to wait for purchase, is a gun. I am not sure how long you have to wait in CA to get a gun (but I know its x days), but in NV I can walk into a store, pass a background check and walk out with a gun. What does this have to do with my juice business you ask. I market a beverage, it only seems reasonable for me to sell the juice on site, without waiting periods. I figure that this rule is directed towards the bad companies, but what about the legitimate ones? I pray you do your dudiligence and come up with the right solution. Thank you for your time, Anthony Lucido
