Comments:

I am writing this letter to express my strong opposition to the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993.. I understand that is is the responsibility of the FTC to protect the public from "unfair and deceptive acts of practices,"but the rule as proposed would make it very difficult for me to operate my business as a Shaklee Independent Distributor I have been a Shaklee Distributor for more than 20 years. Originally, I became a Shaklee Distributor because I love the Company's nutritional/personal care/household products and wanted to earn some additional income working from home. Now, I depend upon this extra income to supplement our retirement (Social Security) income. It is clear that the requirements of the rule R511993 , if enacted, would place a serious and undue burden upon Shaklee Distributors, and would uncecessarily complicate the process of sponsoring. I believe this Rule, if enacted, could have a negative impact on my business as well as all direct selling businesses. Please DON'T let this bill pass. Jean Neese
