Nudists to lobby Capitol Hill this week By Jordan Fabian - 06/07/10 09:53 AM ET

The nudist lobby is headed to Capitol Hill this week to discuss issues important to it with Congress.

The American Association for Nude Recreation sent out a colorful press release Monday morning announcing the visit.

While on Capitol Hill, the AANR will push back against "well-intentioned" Internet legislation it says could affect nudist websites and businesses.

Here are some excerpts from the release.

Kissimmee, FL (June 4, 2010) — Nudists with the American Association for Nude Recreation say there may not be a nude beach in Washington. But they have established a “beach head” on Capitol Hill and they won’t be yielding it any time soon.

According to AANR, more than 40 million Americans have skinny-dipped. But how do you spot nudists in and about the nation’s capitol? They’re dressed in business attire so it’s not easy at first. There are subtle clues, however. Some wear buttons that say “Nudist and I vote!” or “It’s Hip to Skinny Dip!”

They also come bearing (baring?) small giveaways such as emery boards, window decals, and packets of sunscreen with clever messaging. They’re fun ways of introducing topics that are serious business for the nudists, who are also equipped with policy statements and information on Nakationing – nude vacationing.

Typically, the only people who are "nudists" are those that shouldn't be.

I am sure it will not be long before the left-wing start to campaign and push for public nudity being a civil right. Along of course with the help of libertarians on the right. We have already heard for years in the gay marriage argument the question: “How is it hurting you? It is only your own morality that finds it wrong, it doesn’t hurt you. So why should you be allowed to impose your morality on others? ” This same mentality applies to public nudity and even public sex acts as well so it will be soon to follow. The left will tell you if you don’t like it then don’t look but don’t try to tell me how to live. They will stress how nudity and sexual acts are natural and that it is you that have the problem and not them.

I guess in DC, you either have a burqa or are nude.

The first people to get naked are usually the last one anyone wants to see naked.

Nudists in DC are usually spotted showering with Rahm the finger pointer.

One of the problems with the World is the freaks are starting to believe they are normal.
