A little “fun fact” - Jodie Bernstein, the head of the FTC’s consumer protection division in the Clinton administration, became an Amway lobbyist, fighting proposed regulations that would have required Multi-level marketing companies to disclose information to potential distributors. [source]
One more, since these are so much fun:
Amway contributed $500,000 to the National Organization for Marriage, a political organization which opposes legalization of same-sex marriage. [source.]
