Brilliant call to action! I live in England and can see that the assault on freedom that these bills represent is not just terrible for you in the USA but for all of us in states like the UK which blindly follow US example.

This is an important test for the naturist/nudist community to voice and show our power. Believe me when I say that legislators talk to each other even across state lines. So the more who write authentic letters, they will know people are watching and care. This notice is well designed for the novice and the experienced person to understand the issue and respond appropriately. It's been too long since we had to do this and we will see similar bills pop-up around the country, so stay tuned and be prepared to exercise your power.

Thank you for this wealth of information. As someone from outside the US, it seems that there is little that we can do. The only thing I can think of is to contact those people that you have listed and explain that as long as SB477 and SB478 are in place, I will never visit Wisconsin, they will get none of my tourist dollars, and I will never knowingly buy anything online that comes from Wisconsin.

Money seems to be a big motivator for US politicians, and while the small spend of one man in the South Pacific may not strike fear into them, imagine if 100 nudists all voted with their wallets. Or maybe 1,000, or perhaps 10,000?

Already in 2019 I participated in a forbidden WNBR in Paris! (ツ)

Fifteen of us were arrested after 3.5 km of naked cycling. The vast majority of passers-by applauded us. Why this general strengthening of opposition from the states when the population as a whole supports us?
