 Why Cooper's Cleanliness and Cleansing Campaign?
Man is, by nature, a filthy animal. Thus the need for people such as Cooper and daring initiatives such as Cooper's Cleanliness and Cleansing Campaign.
Cooper's Cleanliness and Cleansing Campaign, an initiative launched in 1998 at the fifth tri-annual
LARGE Party Conference in Hope Creek, New Hampshire, centers around developing candidate
codes of behavior and moral cleanliness in an attempt to combat negative, attack-based
political campaigning in politics.
According to Dewey Cooper, "Clean campaigning can take root. While reengaging voters by
injecting integrity back into the political system is no simple task, we feel our efforts in conjunction with
the LARGE Party have shown that it is nonetheless an attainable goal."
Here, he invites concerned voter's to take a cleaner stance on politics and to support only those candidates who run clean campaigns.
Dewey's Dew's and Don't's
Rule 1. Don't refer to a journalist as an a------.
In addition to lowering your popularity
in the polls, it's just not nice manners. Dewey says, If you don't have anything nice to say
about someone, comment anonymously in a forum and not in front of an active microphone.
Rule 2. Wash hands before handling food.
It just makes good sense
Rule 3. still thinking

The indirect goal of the cleanliness campaign is to:
- achieve credibility for all the facilitators and the ?doers? alike and
- to "prepare the ground" or "test the waters" for later activities we will try to facilitate.
3. Nature of Cooper's Cleanliness Campaign.
Activities or projects taken up in the cleanliness campaign should be:
- Highly visible.
- Suitable for implementation by local people particularly the student groups
- Suitable for collaboration by government, municipal corporations and other public bodies.
4. Scope of the campaign.
The scope will be determined at LARGE Party meetings, from the ideas that have emerged, and the
strategies we would like to use. In the research phase, we could stress on sanitation, hygiene and
in general, the physical aspects of cleanliness.
5. Role of LARGE Party volunteers in the cleanliness campaign.
LARGE Party volunteers are catalysts or facilitators only. Regarding facilitation, we are stressing
on linking up amenable political groups in the US provided they are interested in working with
the LARGE Party overall, and as well with the cleanliness campaign in particular.

Who is Dewey Cooper?
Dewey Cooper was born on September; 15th 1960 in Indianapolis, Indiana,
in the same neighborhood as Jacky Ickx. They went to school together.
Dewey really was into music and learned to play the clarinet at an early
age. In 1974 he dropped out of school and moved to California to become
a jazzrocking musician. After some years on the road he met Sonny Malone and became
his partner, reviving a decrepit L.A. dance hall. In early 1999 the club was raided by a small group of angry
samoans and they hired Jonathan Strike as a bouncer: Jonathan introduced them to Mrs. Jackie Strike.
It didn´t take them long to join the LARGE Party. Originally employed as Mrs. Strike´s HQ Junior
Assistant Janitor, due to his outstanding human abilities Dewey Cooper
eventually stepped up to Head of Voter Relations.
