Comments:
Dear Federal Trade Commission Member, I am writing to you regarding your proposed regulations for those of us in the direct selling business. I am a PartyLite Leader and have been working in this business for 6 1/2 years. In that time, I have been able to build an income that allows me, as a single woman, to be a stay at home mom. Without this opportunity I'd have to work twice as hard so that my child could be in daycare 40 hours or more each week, or apply for government assistance. 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. Like me, 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 private information about other PartyLite Consultants without their permission, and I certainly would not want my private information shared without my consent. Please reconsider your proposals to regulate legitimate, professional direct sellers like me. I am thankful that we have the FTC 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. Respectfully Yours, Monique Woolley PartyLite Consultant www.partylite.biz/monique (919) 875-0647
