Comments:
July 12, 2006 Dear Federal Trade Commission Member: 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 Leader and have been working this business for 7 years. I have been able to build an income that allowed me to retire from a 30 year career in the medical industry and help my family and others in the community. 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 the private information about other PartyLite Consultants and I certainly don't want my private information shared without my consent. I'm thankful that the FTC is 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. Please reconsider the regulations you are proposing. Respectfully yours, Terri Bear
