Comments:

Dear Federal Trade Commission Member: I am writing to you regarding your proposed regulations for those of us in the direct selling business. I'm a PartyLite Leader, and have been working in this business for 8 years. In that time, I've been able to build an income that allows me to stay home and work my business instead of punching a time clock! In addition, I have brought many people into this business, who have also 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 fantastic business called PartyLite. One of the best things about this business is that anyone can start and be earning money within a timeframe of two weeks! Most people join PartyLite wanting, and often needing to earn money right away. Your proposal would make them wait even longer. In addition, I can't see myself sharing private information about other PartyLite consultants, and I certainly would not want MY private information shared without my consent. Although I understand your proposal is aimed at those who are abusing this great system we enjoy, it will ultimately inpact MY income, my future, and my family's future. Please reconsider your proposals to regulate legitimate, professional direct selling association members like me! Thanks so much for your consideration! Robin Smith
