Comments:
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 PartyLite Consultant who is proud to be involved in this business. I began my PartyLite business to earn necessary income to support my 2 year old and 6 month old children. The income I earn has allowed me to stay at home with them more than a typocal 9-5 job would allow. 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 PartyLite, nor would I want my own personal information given out freely. I feel good about sharing PartyLite’s business opportunity with others, and want to continue to easily introduce PartyLite 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 reconsider the regulations you are proposing. Respectfully yours, Lauren Kmiec
