Hi Everyone,
We stopped these contests because the new FDA rules do not permit us to give away product. Since several people were disappointed with the end of the contests we found a legal way to resume them. For the winner of future contests we will offer a 90% off coupon good for one use on up to $150.00 worth of product. We hope this makes it interesting to participate in the future contests which will begin some time the week of September 18th.
Thank you for all your support,
Randy - RTS CEO and Owner
