Comments:
Dear FTC, I am writing to ask you to NOT to adopt the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. It is government interference, paperwork and regulations that will not serve the common good. It will only stifle small businesses and give more of a monoply to the big corporations, who already have way too much control and who are amassing too much of the wealth. The 7-day waiting period casts direct selling in a negative light, leads to adminstrative problems and causes unnecessary delays. People can buy most anything on the spot, and this should be the same. Why the discrimination? The litigation reporting clause does not distinguish between winning and losing lawsuits. Big companies can just file frivolous lawsuits and discredit their competition. That's not fair. Regarding references, it is impractical to find 10 nearest distributors. It raises privacy issues dou to ID theft and safety. I have been a Nature's Sunshine distributor for 25 years and using their natural products has been a godsend for me and my family's health. I recently started sharing the products with others and have become a manager. We all know the current medical system is not working and doesn't get at the root cause of disease. People need access to information and natural supplements that do help people truly heal. PLEASE don't adopt this proposal, which will hurt legitimate businesses relieving suffering for people and helping people earn a living. Sincerely, Carol Meyer
