DISCLOSURE –

THE INTEGRITY TEST FOR SHOP-IN-HOME COMPANIES

The time has come for contractors and shop-in-home companies to take a test for the privilege of being licensed. This rule of disclosure will allow productivity, ingenuity, and honesty to compete fairly in the marketplace against the inefficient, complacent, and dishonest people in business.

With disclosure consumers will have the information about the contractor’s past performance. This will send a message to those businesses who provide in-home services to pay attention to detail to deliver what you promise and to service what you sell.

Disclosure offers limited government involvement with marketplace enforcement. That’s so important, because a rule that is passed, without enforcement, is worthless. If a contractor would lie or intentionally misrepresent with fraudulent information to influence a purchase, they risk non-payment, and possible incarceration.

Disclosure offers accountability for both the contractor and the consumer. Disclosure offers dependable companies with integrity a clear advantage in the marketplace WHEN LEAVING ESTIMATES.

Disclosure brings fairness to the marketplace for businesses with integrity and provides them with the ability to thrive and continue to operate.

Capitalism works at its finest when there is consumer confidence, because consumer confidence brings consumer spending. And this willingness to spend money for home improvements will help in the development of neighborhoods that might not have been developed in the past. And this will have a positive effect on every neighborhood in Philadelphia and the United States of America.

Americans Who Care about their community need to ask themselves before they go into the voting booth, the one-two-three disclosure integrity test for contractors will show the voters that our elected officials do care about our homes, the block we live on, and the neighborhood where we raise our family.

Americans are entitled to disclosure for the public. Our elected officials should be held accountable when they have been PUT ON NOTICE that there is a simple solution to in-home consumer fraud, the Integrity Test, www.Disclosure For The Public.com. Soon these elected officials will have to answer the question
“Do they support disclosure for the public?”

…Americans Who Care believe the only answer our elected officials can say is “I ENDORSE DISCLOSURE FOR THE PUBLIC.”

…Americans Who Care will be proactive in getting support for disclosure for the public. Everyone should have a position. It would be difficult to believe that anyone could have no opinion on this important issue.

…Americans Who Care will ask civic organizations, celebrities, anyone with a voice to take a stand for disclosure for the public, with the ultimate goal of substantiating the need for the 1 (one), 2 (two), 3 (three) Integrity Test for shop-in-home companies to become a requirement in all 50 states as a mandatory FTC (Federal Trade Commission) licensing requirement.

Disclosure benefits the consumer, but what will be the overall benefit that it brings to the marketplace?

Answer

Consumer Confidence. Consumers look for value along with quality, and most consumers are willing to pay a fair price as long as expectations are met.

This will send a message to those businesses who provide in-home services to pay attention to detail to deliver what you promise and to service what you sell.
