Comments:
I have reviewed the FTC Business Opportunity Rule, R511993. As an independent FreeLife International Marketing Executive who has developed my business as a result of the opportunity Freelife International, its products and marketing plan made available to me. I am strongly opposed to the proposal. If adopted, the rule would destroy my email business that I have worked so hard to develop. It would also destroy the freedom for average people like me to legally and legitimately purse the American Dream. While the intentions of such a Rule may be to eliminate scam operators, charlatans find ways around or inspite of laws. In the meantime, it will severely and negatively impact legitimate business owners like me by imposing increased costs, delays, recordkeeping, disclosures of confidential information, etc. Since this business is one of minimal risk in that a person can try products with a full 90-day money back guarantee, and if they do not find this right for them, they can drop out whenever they want. Waiting for 7 business days is a hardship especially when the product is a godsend to many who use it; time is of the essence and waits for no one. We are dealing in very reasonably priced products, no exorbitant up front costs, and Freelife International has a decade in business. Please do not permit this incredibly restrictive Rule destroy the American Dream. The USA is the Land of the Free and FreeLife is providing the way to achieve this Dream and create a truly free life for us who are involved in this business. In the current times with email, cell phones and internet capabilities, it would be an impossible burden for the average person and cause them to fail, thus destroying their dream as well as those they love and support. Real estate and other sales businesses do not have such restrictions or requirements to supply finite information regarding earnings information; why are we to be singled out? Help us and FreeLife International continue to keep the American Dream alive and available without undue restrictions.
