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 and have been in this business for 6 years. I began my PartyLite business so I could be home with my family and still contribute to the family income. This income has allowed me to do just that and more. The proposals you are suggesting would make my business much more difficult and possibly impact my income. Specifically, 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 freely given out. I feel good about sharing PartyLite's very real business opportunity with others, and want to be able 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 know that I am thankful that we have the FTC working to protect average consumers like me, but in this case, you would be working against me, impacting my income, my future and my family's future. Please reconsider the regulations you are proposing. Respectfully yours, Carole Garrett
