Comments:
I appreciate the FTC wanting to help subdue illegal pyramid schemes, get rich quick ideas and other fraud. However, I feel the proposal is very broad and will inhibit law abiding direct selling companies while the frauds can find other loopholes to operate around. I believe the proposal should provide a level playing field with clear standardized cancellation policies. The 7 day waiting, references for prospects, and disclosure of litigation and financial records are cumbersome and would probably become dilluted also. We have had a Quixtar/Amway business for over 12 years. We have had some good success. Our 9-5 jobs have improved because of the positive attitude principles we have learned through Quixtar. Our children love the people they get to associate with. Very positive role models, good Americans practicing Free Enterprise that our forefathers came to this land for. Honest people with and alternative, legal business opportunity. A blanket proposal that would slow down the engine for the benefit of stopping a few cabooses is not the answer. I don't know if I have a solution but I know that the impact of these proposed rules would greatly impede one of the most highly principled businesses on earth. Quixtar operates on such a high moral standard and that is what attracted us to it in the first place. We love this type of business. Please reconsider your proposal. Thank you, Wendy Morrow
