SUBJECT: NEF California Poll 2009

TO : All naturists and other concerned citizens

Dear Naturist,

This is an advisory from the Naturist Action Committee (NAC) concerning opinion polling conducted in the state of California, as commissioned by the Naturist Education Foundation.

NEF CALIFORNIA POLL 2009

The Naturist Education Foundation (NEF) announces the results of its NEF California Poll 2009. The poll is a public opinion survey commissioned by NEF and conducted by the independent polling firm of Zogby International.

The poll is a statistically valid sampling of California adults, focusing on the topics of body acceptance and the responsible use of public land for clothing-optional recreation.

Highlights of the poll:

• strong support for nude sunbathing.

• acceptance for the personal rights of those who

are nude in their own homes or on their own property

- even if they may occasionally be seen by others.

• significant rejection of the notion that the majority

of Californians are personally offended by the non-sexual

nudity of others.

• sixty-two percent agreement with those who are calling

for the California Dept. of Parks & Recreation to exercise

its legal authority to designate clothing-optional

areas in state parks.

----------

The Naturist Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that exists to provide informational and educational material from, to and about naturists throughout North America.
