We respectfully ask your consideration of the following issues that have led to this petition.
We distributors speak in one voice in regards to the gratitude we have for corporate and its efforts to assist us with our businesses.
It is no small task to build an independent Reliv business, and when we have corporate support with brand recognition, special events and other tools to assist us, it is truly appreciated.
However, there have been incidences where corporate has crossed over the line from assistance to interference with how we independent distributors choose to operate our own businesses.
The most egregious example of corporate interference with a distributor’s business remains the ongoing situation with the Joe and Carol Felger distributorship. In Spring of 2013, Joe and Carol were denied their right by corporate to continue to build, grow or support their own independent business that they had cultivated for two decades. This occurred even though corporate stated the Felgers did nothing illegal, unethical or in violation of the distributor agreement.
The decision to involve Joe and Carol Felger in our own independent businesses should be solely at the discretion of each independent distributor, not a decision imposed by corporate or influenced by any other distributor.
This action has created a distrust and fear of Reliv corporate, to the point where many distributors are reticent to even speak their mind on the subject for fear of similar consequence. Indeed, if this could happen to the people who were integral to building Reliv and delivered the largest revenue, it could happen to anyone.
Furthermore, from the shareholder’s point of view, by suspending Joe and Carol Felger, Reliv corporate has cut off a proven, prolific and most lucrative arm of the company.
We respectfully request that corporate restore distributor autonomy from corporate or colleagueship interference, and reinstate Joe and Carol Felger to their rightful place in Reliv so they have the choice to actively grow their business and assist those who freely choose to have them do so.
It is not so much a question of who is right but what is right.
Correcting the imbalances raised in this petition, including the reinstatement of Joe and Carol Felger, is essential to ensuring an environment of trust that may foster unprecedented growth and success for Reliv worldwide.

As a new M.A. attending my first regiona meeting, I was told how important it was to connect with my upline and use them. At that same meeting I discovered my upline, Joe and Carol Felger, were forbidden to help me build my business. This has left a nagging question in my mind as to the integrity of Reliv management and makes me hesitant to truly invest in building a strong business. I feel I'm being deprived of my strongest resource. Please reconsider!
I am very thankful to see this petition in action. Joe and Carol are a key element to Reliv's history and are one of the reason's I was originally attracted to Reliv. It is a scary and risky thing to work very hard to build a business you are told is yours and then possibly have that freedom taken away without having done anything illegal, unethical or in violation of the distributor agreement.
Did not renew my "distributership" small but had potential with the leadership from Joe and Carol but having seen how cooporate treated this very important asset had to pass.
We have been really sad about what has happened with Joe and Carol. We got involved with Reliv because of the Integrity the company had and the fact that we were able to be Independant Distributors and also because we had such great support from people like the Felgers. They always talked to us about always doing what is right. They care about helping people so much and our son and grandson are alive today because they took this business serious all those years ago. There are many people who are waiting for them to share.
We are requesting that Joe and Carol Felger be reinstated to their position in Reliv International. We believe our business has been affected negatively because they have not been able to help us in building it. We believe that this company and their downline will benefit greatly from taking this action immediately!
I believe they deserve to be reinstated.
Do not reinstate them. They were wrong in what they did

Joe and Carol Felger have changed my families health forever. We are in their downline, and without them, we never would have heard about Reliv. My wife no longer suffers seasonal allergies. My oldest son no longer suffers from ADHD. My second son has completely regrown all of his body and head hair after suffering from alopecia and eczema. Joe and Carol are not just an upline they have been our lifeline!! They are what makes Reliv real and special.
