CWA Hits Top Five List for 2008 2/17/2009 Concerned Women for America's (CWA) "No More Child Porn" campaign has been listed as one of the Top Five Cultural Events in 2008 by Movieguide, a Christian Film & Television Commission (CFTC) publication. Founded by Dr. Ted Baehr, CFTC is "dedicated to redeeming the values of the entertainment industry according to Biblical principles."
Working hand-in-hand with Movieguide, CWA successfully got Hounddog, a sexually charged film depicting the rape of a nine-year-old, pulled from the screens of over 200 movie theaters.
Donna Miller, director of the No More Child Porn campaign and a CWA of North Carolina Prayer/Action Chapter Leader, played a huge role in raising public awareness of this film and its sexualization of children. Though Donna is quick to give all the credit to God, her passion to protect children fueled this project, and it couldn't have happened without all of her hard work.
CWA President Wendy Wright, says, "Donna Miller is a wonderful example of how one person can make a difference. By teaming up with CWA, she took a local issue - a movie filmed in her state that attempts to mainstream child pornography - and held local, state, and national officials accountable. The pressure helped make the film the failure it deserved to be and educated people throughout the process to the dangers of child pornography."
Kenda Bartlett, National Field Director for CWA, says, "We appreciate Dr. Baehr's recognition of the work CWA did on this. Many people were involved, and we are privileged to have someone like Donna heading up the campaign."
