 et's Get The Word Out was inspired by the popular eBook that shook the network marketing industry while also stirring the political ire of many. Authored by former Amway Quixtar emerald level IBO, Eric Scheibeler, the book is a chilling portrayal of the process by which intelligent people can persist for years in pursuing the Amway (Quixtar) dream, ultimately being bilked of thousands of dollars in what MSNBC Dateline called the "hidden business". This "dirty little secret" makes a few Amway Quixtar kingpins very wealthy selling motivational books, tapes, web sites, CDs and seminars -- not Quixtar's cosmetics, soaps and electronics.
The book is "Merchants of Deception" by Eric Scheibeler and is available in PDF format at no cost from the authors site.
"Let's Get The Word Out" (this site) is the interactive online version that has spawned a grassroots movement to stop the deception. It's free to explore and encourages visitors to get involved.

"Let's Get The Word Out" allows you to take action by sponsoring a word (or words) in the online book. We then link your word to a special page where you can post your story, comments and opinions about the issue (or remain annonymous). It's simple, it's fun, and yet it offers great value to others caught (or about to be caught) in a similar financial and emotional spiral as Eric Scheibeler and his family experienced.
Each word in the online book "Merchants of Deception" will be sponsored and tagged by someone or some corporation. We invite you to be that someone. We are accepting donations (starting at $2 per word). Most of the monies donated will be used to further the cause, help others who have suffered, or cover legal expenses in worthwhile lawsuits. To this end, LGTWO will work with Pyramid Scheme Alert (www.pyramidschemealert.org), a
non profit consumer rights organization. We of course must feed the crew, pay for developers, licenses, techie stuff, hard costs and invest a bit in getting the word out, so we've estimated between 20% to 30% will be used in this manner.

Note: Eric Scheibeler will receive NO INCOME (not a cent) from this.
As a matter of fact, 100% of the net donations (donations less the
cost to pay for developers, techie stuff, hard costs and getting the word out) is being donated to Pyramid Scheme Alert (www.pyramidschemealert.org), a
non profit consumer rights organization focused on exposing consumer
fraud in the MLM industry.

Individual support...
As an individual, you may become a "Word Sponsor." You will not only help the cause, but you'll get the benefits of membership, such as:
- A Pop-up page, linked to the word(s) you sponsor
- Your own "Word Sponsor" mini web site to share with others.
- your story or comments blasted across the web
- your photo (if it's not too scarry ;-)
- link to any site you might have
- Ability to post on the Amway QuixSand Blog
- Periodic newsletters to keep you in the loop
- and of course, a big "Thank You"
Corporate support...
If you run a company or you're involved in the direct sales industry
in a significant way, you can become a "Corporate Word Sponsor." Your
company will get a special or custom "sponsor page" linked to words, a
chapter title or any full page. Your support will help your business
and those legitimately engaged in the direct sales profession. There
are bad 'apples' in all industries and with the support of 'good'
companies we can help make changes for the benefit of all. Are you a
'good' apple? We seek your support.
So that's the scoop. We're helping folks dig out of the sand and prevent others from falling in. It's the collective stories and personal opinions of everyone that will make a difference. Will you join us?

What's this?
It's a website
It's an eBook
A grassroots movement
and a blog
It's a petition
A folksonomy
A collective effort
to lift the fog
It's a library
of personal stories
Some speak softly,
others shout.
But word-by-word
It means nothing
without you.
Let's get the word out!
