We have not yet filed the lawsuit against Mazo beach. Our attorney Jim Donohoo wants to be certain he puts together the best possible case. Pray that God will grant Mr. Donohoo wisdom and all of us success in this attempt to put an end to the tax-funded madness of Mazo. Should the lawsuit be unsuccessful, we will begin making plans to divide into little companies of about twenty to twenty-five Christian saints each so that we can man the beach parking lot every weekend that it is open next summer. With this strategy, no one will have to do "beach duty" more than twice during the summer; but the state will certainly burn up a lot of resources and the nudists will certainly hear a lot of truth. Because we have continued to pound on this issue, we are making headway in the battle of public opinion. The beach is no longer seen as a quaint anomaly on our state's landscape. For instance, a while back, the Beloit Daily News ran a scathing article attacking the beach titled, "Heads should roll." In the editorial, the writer lambasted state officials for allowing the nudists to have their way and stated such things as, "And it's time to shut down this embarrassment to Wisconsin and keep public land family-friendly. There can be no justification for official tolerance - let alone encouragement - of this kind of behavior."

Mazo beach became an issue in at least one election contest this year with Neal Kedzie, a Republican incumbent in the 43rd District, stating this about the beach, "All crimes have a victim. What about the family who cannot visit that public land, supported with their tax dollars because there are people walking about nude there? This is bigger than Mazo beach" (Wisconsin State Journal, November 6, 2000).
