Comments:
Dear Sirs, My name is Tom Haas I have been involved with Quixtar for over 5 years now and I would like to give you my opinion on a few things. Some of the areas of your new proposal could seriously hurt many businesses. I think we should create level playing fields, by requiring clear, simple,& standardized income disclosures that apply to all direct sellers. There should be a reasonable cancellation policy. I think that a 7 day waitng period is wrong. If ther is a reasonable cancellation period why would we need a waiting period. We should not require disclosure of past litigation or financial records to new prospects. I have never been offered that at Walmart or target, and I would guuess that they have quite extensive litigation in there past. I can tell you as an average American small business owner what a difference this had made in our lives, and the lives of many of our friends. We have goals to help many people get there Dreams,and I know we can do it with this business. I have seen some of the pyramid schemes where there is a lot of money up front and there guy who signs you up gets 50% of the start up. Those are wrong,and I am confident with the great people that we have in place in the FTC that we will be able to find some rules that protect people against the flim flam or pyramid schemes, while still giving them the opportunity to build a legitamate Quixtar business. Speaking from the Heart. 6 years ago I might have agreed with the proposal, but I have seen too much good, and too many lives being changed for the better. Please don't take that away from people. I look forward to hearing from you Sincerely, Thomas E Haas
