Comments:
Dear Federal Trade Commission Member: I am writing to ask that you reconsider some of the requirements you are proposing to the direct sales industry. I am a Partylite Consultant who has been proud to be involved in the business for 3 years. I began my Partylite business to help me and my family better our lives financially. The income I earn has allowed me to help my family not only financially but also spiritually. The proposal you are suggesting would make my business much more difficult and possibly impact my income. I would never feel comfortable providing the personal contact information of other people in Partylite, nor would I want my own personal information given out freely. I feel good about sharing Partylite's awesome and caring business opportunity with others, and want to continue to easily introduce Partylite to more people who could benefit as I have. The regulations you are proposing would hinder me from doing so and would hinder others in starting their business in the timeframe they choose. I am very thankful that we have the FTC working to protect average consumers like me, however in this case, you would be working against me, impacting my income and my future not only for me but also my family. Please reconsider the regulations you are proposing. Respectfully yours, Anjie Manuel Independent Partylite Consultant
