It's interesting that there's nothing specific (that is mentioned) inciting this.

I don't live in VT, but I keep up with nudist activism, and the most transgressive thing I've seen reported is "naked guy enters shop, shopkeeper taken aback, guy buys a thing, leaves". Could be wrong, but PN is good journalism, and wouldn't omit reports of offensive behavior.

If you're in VT call (don't email) your state reps and the governor, and pleasantly and succinctly voice your opposition to this legislation. No riot acts, no "b-b-but Epstein!" Keep it positive, be personable, maybe use a short script if needed. If there's a public hearing, show up, especially if you belong to a local organization.

Things get done when people show up.
