    • Abstract:
      California League Enlisting Action Now (CLEAN) is a relatively meaningless title, but it has the virtue-surely not coincidental--that its initial letters spell CLEAN, which sounds like a detergent but is in reality the name of a group that is trying to tam through an initiative measure in California, presumably to outlaw smut. The CLEAN campaign brings out the old evangelical fervor that rightists always show when they get keyed up for a great cause. These resolutions largely rehash an organizing and fundraising letter sent out by California State Assembly man E. Richard Barnes, founder of CLEAN.
