The Nudies are coming! The Nudies are Coming!
Elizabeth Book, a woman who recently won the right to bare her breasts in puplic in public, plans a topless protest at an auditorium in Daytona Beach, Florida beside thre statues of women who are also topless. "I will be as top-free as the statues," Book said Monday in an e-mail to the nudists and naturists who have supported her cause. "This is not over until Daytona is forced to recognize the unconstitutionality of their ordinances and statutes aimed at the American woman's breasts."
Daytona Beach says Book's victory in court last week was only temporary and probably will be appealed.
"She should probably save her exuberance for a time when all the appeals have ended," Assistant City Attorney said Greg McDole, an assistant city attorney. "There are a number of appeals left and a number of years before this is a binding precedent."
Volusia County Judge David Beck ruled that Book was within her rights when she bared her breasts as part of a political protest during Bike Week in March 2004.
The city's anti-nudity ordinance allows an exemption for nudity that is part of a political protest or other constitutionally protected issue, Beck said, throwing out her arrest and fine for $253. The city passed the rule in 2002 to curb indecency at special events.
I don't know about you, but I think I'd like to see this protest go down! However, if things change there and the nudist take over down there, how long before everywhere else falls?
