View Article  Fred Harteis News Articles - Statement

Fred Harteis News Articles – Recently there have been many blogs and websites under the impression that I have returned to Quixtar as an IBO.

 

Just to set the record straight on a few of these issues. I have resigned from Quixtar and I am working with Team Leadership.  I am no longer a Quixtar IBO.

 

I do not have any question of the character of Orrin Woodward or Chris Brady, or doubt their motive to help people. I see them as leaders with a vision and ...   more »

View Article  Statement From Fred Harteis

As an IBO I have entered into many discussions concerning issues I have had with Quixtar i.e.: product pricing, the IBO compensation plan, negative on the web. I have been open about my opinions.  When the DTI situation became public, I became very concerned about our future, in the USA based on the DTI complaint. I discussed these issues with several people including my attorneys, my leaders, Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady. However I never talked to D.J. Poyfair or anyone from his firm.

View Article  Fred Harteis News Articles - Obama Ready to Announce Running Mate

Fred Harteis News Articles - Senator Barack Obama has all but settled on his choice for a running mate and set an elaborate rollout plan for his decision, beginning with an early morning alert to supporters, perhaps as soon as Wednesday morning, aides said.

 

Mr. Obama’s deliberations remain remarkably closely held. Aides said perhaps a half-dozen advisers were involved in the final discussions in an effort to enforce a command that Mr. Obama issued to staff members: that his decision not leak out until supporters are notified.

View Article  Fred Harteis News Articles - Inflation Hits Annual Pace Not Seen Since 1991

Fred Harteis News Articles - Inflation reached a 17-year high last month, fueled by high gasoline and food prices, all but assuring that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates at their current level for the time being.

Consumer prices were 5.6 percent higher last month than they were in July 2007, a brisker pace than economists had expected, the Labor Department said on Thursday.

 

That was the sharpest annual increase since January 1991, as Americans paid more for clothing, food, transportation and recreational products.

Unless overturned on appeal, a former White House counsel, ...   more »
