Nudist Lobby to Descend on Capitol Hill
Friday, June 05, 2009 at 9:23 am
The Hill reports that the American Association for Nude Recreation is coming to town next week to lobby Congress on nudism-related issues.
The AANR will be visiting a handful of congressional offices, but it is keeping the names of the lawmakers close to the chest (pun intended).
AANR members hope to increase the number of locations for enjoying nude recreation on public lands. And like a good lobbying association, AANR is armed with hard data. The group states, “Several polls taken of the traveling public indicate that nearly 20 percent of all persons in North America enjoy skinny-dipping and nude sunbathing.”
According to The Hill, the AANR representatives are expected to be clothed during their visit to the Capitol.

I love the fact that they felt the need to mention that the nudists will be clothed at the capital building.

Nudism is a great lifestyle and most people do not have a clue as to how wholesome it is. I applaud AANR on their on going effort to educate the public.

i love being nude. there is nothing sexual about it. if i wasnt with prudish parents i would be nude always
i am also a topfree activist & would go to the gotopless.org protest this August if i had time off.
people against nudism usually have a religious bias & have no understanding about nudism.
