Comments:
Sirs; I have a few comments on the proposed 'Business Opportunity Rules lR511993. First of all, thank you for attempting to discourage fruad and scams in our business. I readily admit that this is an action very much needed. Now concerning R511993; Could it be that punishing the many good to get to the few bad is like cutting the wheat to kill the weeds? We are many companiew and organizations of many people that are legit,f ollow the guidelines and pay a lot of taxes. Why should we we in the direct sales industry be more harshly governed than other mainline businesses? Why should we have a seven day waiting period for someone wanting to start in business with us? What other business has to do this? Now be patient with me, I am really on your side. There are several things in the proposal that would truly hurt us. Suggestion; Put a stop against fruad and schemes at the start by having every applicant that wants to start up a direct sales Co. {the principals} post a substancial bond that will be forfieted upon non-compliance of the existing guidelines. My name is Emily Higginbotham, thanks for your consideration.
