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 am a PartyLite Leader and have been working in this business for nearly 5 years. In that time, I have been able to build an income that allowed me to replace my income as a registered nurse and stay home with my now 8 year old daughter. I make an excellent income, am accomplished in direct sales and it has brought so many wonderful things to my life that have nothing to do with money as well. 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 opportunity. One of the best things about this business is that anyone can start this business and be earning money within a timeframe of two weeks. Most people join PartyLite wanting and often needing to earn money right away, and your proposal would make them wait even longer. In addition, I cannot see myself sharing private information about other PartyLite Consultants and I certainly do not want my private information shared without my consent. PLEASE reconsider your proposals to regulate legitimate, professional direct sellers like me. Please know that I’m thankful that we have the FTC working to protect average consumers like me, but in this case, you will be working against me, impacting my income, my future and my family’s future. . Respectfully Yours, Tracy L. Tambaoan Group Leader & Independent Consultant Partylite Gifts, Inc.
