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 10 1/2 years. In that time, I have been able to build an income that allows me to be a stay at home mom while supplementing my families income. Without PartyLite I would have to put my children in daycare which would be an additional expense that my family could not afford. I would no longer be able to be their for my children, help out at their schools, attend school functions and most importantly their award ceremonies at school. 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. Most people join PartyLite wanting and often needing to earn money right away, just as I did, and your proposal would make them wait even longer. In addition, I cannot see myself sharing private information about other PartyLite Consultants and I certainly not want my private information shared without my consent. Respectfully Yours Elizabeth A Antram
