To all my Friends!
Please help save our clothing optional section of Beach (Trail #6) at San Onofre State Park.
The above link gives you some background on what's going on, but more importantly, Send a letter, a fax or an e-mail, or make a phone call to:
Director Ruth Coleman
Dept. of Parks and Recreation
1416 Ninth Street,
Sacramento, CA 95816
E-MAIL: director@parks.ca.gov
DIRECTOR'S OFFICE TELEPHONE: (916) 653-8380
DIRECTOR'S OFFICE FAX: (916) 657-3903
NAC encourages you to send copies of your faxes and paper mail to:
NAC, P.O. Box 132, Oshkosh, WI 54903.
Send copies of your e-mails to:
sanonofre@naturistaction.org
When you write or call:
a) Be polite. You have a right to be outraged, but you will achieve nothing positive by name-calling or rudeness.
b) Be known. Give your name and address. If you are a California resident or a frequent visitor to California, point that out.
c) Be focused. Keep your call or your correspondence brief and on target.
d) Be clear. Say that you OPPOSE the revocation of the Cahill Policy at San Onofre State Beach in San Diego County.
Additional talking / writing points:
a) The precipitous change to public policy was done without public input. That's not an acceptable way to administer public resources.
b) The so-called "solution" does not address the real problem.
c) A recent public opinion poll (the 2006 NEF/Roper Poll, commissioned by the Naturist Education Foundation and conducted by the Roper polling organization) shows that a majority of Americans favor the setting aside of public lands for clothing-optional recreation.
d) In that same poll, an impressive 74 percent of Americans believe that people who enjoy nude sunbathing should be able to do so without interference from local officials as long as they do so at a beach that is accepted for that purpose.
e) Rangers and park managers must NOT confuse simple nudity with lewd behavior. Rangers presently have the authority to stop lewd activity, and that authority does not require the abrupt discontinuation of a long-standing policy that has worked well for years and years.
2. ATTEND A RALLY AT SAN ONOFRE BEACH ON SATURDAY, MAY 24
In close cooperation with Friends of San Onofre, NAC urges you to attend a rally at the beach on Saturday, May 24, 2008. Bring your own handmade signs to carry, if you wish. NAC will be providing a number of "Nude Beaches YES!" signs for participants.
This is an important event for those who are outraged at the Director's action and who believe San Onofre Beach is worth saving! If you're close enough to make it, please show up around 10 AM. Parking is limited.
