Dear Federal Trade Commission Member: I am writing to ask that you reconsider some of the requirements you are proposing to regulate the direct sales industry. I am a For Your Pleasure Consultant who has just started with this business. I began my For your pleasure business so I could continue to stay home with my children . I am afraid if this goes through I will not be able to stay home with my children and I will have to quit partylite too and get a job out side my home . I will also have to pay for day care and after , driving , day care, food , and all the other little things I will be making about 1.50 an hour … hardly worth working out side the home now isn’t it ? Please understand that at home parties have saved a lot of us from starving and have brought us up over the poverty level . Don’t take that away from us ! The proposals you are suggesting would make my business much more difficult and possibly impact my income. Specifically, in terms of the references requirement, I would never feel comfortable providing the personal contact information of other people in For Your Pleasure, nor would I want my own personal information given out freely. I feel good about sharing For Your Pleasure’s very real business opportunity with others, and want to continue to easily introduce For Your Pleasure 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. Please know that I’m 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. Please reconsider the regulations you are proposing. Respectfully yours, Mrs. Orne
