This month we celebrate a variety of events and honor many people. February is a month when we experience the joy of Valentine’s Day and doing special things for those...
I want to welcome you to this January issue of The Bulletin, dedicated to what AANR does for you and the efforts of your Government Affairs Team (GAT).
Time to count our blessing following a year with many challenges to nudists. Our members and clubs in Florida suffered though hurricanes, winds and storm surges. Each time we face...
I’d like to thank all the members who took the time to read my September column and write me. I’m thankful we live in a country where we can discuss...
We just wrapped up the annual meeting and convention at Shangri-La Ranch in New River, Arizona. As always, the Faber family went out of their way to provide a welcoming,...
Project 2025 In September of 2022 I discussed the concern we must have as nudists over the many implications of the Dobbs decision and how it could have far-reaching impact...
ravel season is in full swing, and we will be on the road quite a bit. We are taking our trailer to enjoy two conventions, AANR-West and AANR. Both conventions...
This month let’s talk about the legislative processes used in most states, provinces, and at the federal level. If you’ve ever seen the movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington starring...
What does Advocacy mean to you? Oxford defines it as “public support for or recommendation of a particular cause or policy”. This is at the heart of why your government...
Membership directly supports AANR nudist rights! February in an election year. Back in December the Government Affairs Team (GAT) saw an increase in bill prefiling in states that allow that;...
We’ve made it through another year, and it is time to reflect on what a year it’s been. To thank those who have done so much to protect our nudists’...

I am proud to announce that your GAT team just completed the report for the annual convention. It runs 28 pages and is available in the members area of the...
While public lands are nice, we couldn’t always be active nude in places where we weren’t worried we might be in violation of some local laws. It wasn’t as easy...
While our outside activities are turning to International Skinny-Dip Day and other Nude Recreation Week activities, GAT is still following bills we’ve been concerned about since January. As the legislative...
I’d like to thank the people who responded to my Diversity column in the April Bulletin. The purpose of the Government Affairs Team is to protect nudists’ privileges from undue...
Membership directly supports AANR nudist rights! I’m pretty sure legislators didn’t have World Naked Gardening Day in mind when they decided to sow a bumper crop of new bills this...
We are on a rollercoaster this year. Drag Queens and children seem to be of concern to many States’ legislators. Apparently cross-dressing is much more sinister than when Max Klinger...
As expected this election year, many bills are getting introduced that require attention. Lawmakers seem to feel they need to establish themselves not by acting on existing laws but by...
In December I wrote about the challenges nudists may face in 2023 after the Supreme Court’s challenging attack on the Due Process Clause. Due process essentially guarantees that a party...
Happy New Year to my fellow nudists. I’m wishing everyone a great year ahead. The GAT Team will be reviewing new legislation as new legislators take office and introduce bills...
