Comments:
This is a request to ask that you reconsider the requirements you are proposing to regulate the direct sales industry. I am a PartyLite consultant who has been proud to be involved in this business for 7 years. I began with PartyLite because I love the product we sell and I also love the flexibility it allows for my schedule, especially being a stay-at-home mother. 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 want to continue sharing my PartyLite business with others. The regulations you are proposing would hiner me from doing so, and would hinder others in starting their business in the time frame they choose. Please know that 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. Please reconsider the regulations you are proposing. Respectfully yours, Lucy M. Kinder
