NATURIST ACTION COMMITTEE
ACTION ALERT
**********************************************************************
http://www.naturistsociety.com/NAC/
**********************************************************************

DATE : January 30, 2005
SUBJECT: Washington State
TO : Washington naturists and other concerned Washington residents

Dear Washington Resident,

The Naturist Action Committee is asking you to take immediate action on
Washington House Bill 1333, legislation that proposes a significant
change to the state's indecent exposure statute. Current law calls for
a
second conviction under the state's indecent exposure law to be
punished
as a felony. HB 1333 would amend the law so that convictions under
municipal indecent exposure ordinances would count toward felony
status.
State or municipal convictions from courts outside the state of
Washington would be counted, as well.

The measure was introduced by Rep. Al O'Brien (D-Mountlake Terrace).

BACKGROUND

Briefly, police in the city of Everett consider the state's current
indecent exposure law to have a loophole because it does not include
convictions under local ordinances in the ratcheting of punishment. The
bill was introduced on behalf of the Everett police and city
government,
who have a lobbyist pushing hard to get the bill passed into law.

House Bill 1333 is similar to a bill (HB 2645)introduced by Rep.
O'Brien
in the 2004 legislative session. As part of its vigorous opposition to
that bill, NAC hired a legislative lobbyist and presented testimony
before the legislative committee considering the bill. NAC issued
Action
Alerts calling for a letter writing and telephone campaign that put
citizens in touch with Washington lawmakers. The gratifying response -
YOUR response - was a key component in assuring that the 2004 bill did
not pass. NAC thanks you for your important part in that victory!


WHAT IS NAC DOING THIS TIME?

The Naturist Action Committee opposes House Bill 1333. NAC has once
again
hired a professional legislative lobbyist and is working with state
lawmakers. NAC will be testifying against HB 1333 at a public hearing
at
the state capitol on February 3.


NAC IS ASKING YOU TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION!

The Naturist Action Committee is asking naturists and other concerned
individuals who are residents of the state of Washington to write or
call
the members of the House of Representatives. Those who live outside
Washington are asked NOT to contact Washington lawmakers during this
initial period. If it becomes necessary, you will be asked to weigh in
at
a later stage of the legislation..


WRITE OR CALL

For a full list of members of the House of Representatives and hints on
what to say when you contact them, please go to the web site of the
Naturist Action Committee:

http://www.naturistsociety.com/NAC/

Select "Alerts," then click on "View Current," to select and view
this
NAC Action Alert. The Action Alert includes links to a list of
Washington
lawmakers on the Rules Committee. It also has links that will allow you
to view the text of the existing Washington law and the complete text
of
House Bill 1333..

ATTEND THE HEARING

House Bill 1333 is one of 6 bills scheduled to be heard by a
legislative
committee at 8:00 a.m. on February 3, 2005.

House Criminal Justice & Corrections Committee
House Hearing Rm E
John L. O'Brien Building
Olympia, WA

The appropriate number of speakers is small. NAC has those bases
covered,
and no other speakers are needed at this time. However, your presence
in
the hearing room will lend a great deal of support to the effort. If
you're able to attend, please be at the hearing room a few minutes
early.


PLEASE HELP NAC HELP WASHINGTON NATURISTS
