On July 18th, the North Carolina Chapter of Concerned Women For America, a leading national organization in the field of child protection, brought the issue of the film "Hounddog" to the forefront once more. Their spokeslady, Donna Miller, issued this statement on her group's behalf. "We request that the North Carolina General Assembly appoint an independent investigation (to) determine why the North Carolina Film Office approved the making of the film 'Hounddog' and whether North Carolina law officials were consulted. Also: Provide information from the North Carolina Department of Commerce as to how three movies ('Hounddog', 'Bastard Out of Carolina' and 'Lolita') were filmed in North Carolina dealing with the subject of adults having sexual encounters with minors. 'Hounddog' was so controversial that it did not receive distributorship until recently." "Both the North Carolina Film Office and Department of Commerce are North Carolina tax-funded, and, as North Carolina citizens, we oppose the use of any tax dollars that are spent on endeavors that at best can be described as the sexualization of children and at worst the normalization of sexual relations between children and adults. North Carolina citizens do not want their film legacy to be represented by such films as 'Hounddog'." Published with the article was a document from the NC Film Office entitled "Film Production Tax Credits/Returns Received During Calendar Year 2007". Note that the North Carolina state government distributes a 15% rebate to filmmakers on the production costs of ANY movie shot in the state. These figures were listed. Taxpayer Name And Counties: Hounddog Productions LLC Brunswick New Hanover. Goods....................$697,298 Services.................$750,522 Compensation......$1,116,042 Total Expenses.....$2,583,842 People Employed.............182 Cost of Credits........$387,576 Readers will note that the last figure amounts to 15% of "Total Expenses". That's what the taxpayers of that state perforce put into the pockets of the worst child pandering Hollywood filmmakers to date... and in their name. Note further that by 2007, the name of Full Moon Films (founded and presided over by writer/director Deborah Kampmeier) had disappeared and was replaced by an obscure entity called "Hounddog Productions LLC". Thanks to men like Tre Benson, Ted Baehr, Bill Donohue, Larry Klayman, Sean Hannity and other staunch citizens, the pornographers had been forced undercover. If anyone wishes to see justice done on this vital and basic question of child decency, please contact your elected representatives on all levels. This is not just a North Carolina issue, but a national one. A note of encouragement to NC State Senator Phil Berger (R-Rockingham), who has taken a personal interest in this issue from the beginning, would not be amiss. Also: Please contact Concerned Women For America and/or The National Association To Protect Children (protect.org- headquartered in Asheville NC) to register your support. I'm a member of both organizatiions and endorse them for their good works. This may- finally!- prove to be the crack in Hollywood's masonry that brings their children's "rape-room" crashing down. One can only hope. But too many such prior hopes have been dashed by the Industry's corruptive and seductive power on politicians and legal officials. It is a mighty power indeed. But so is the power of decent citizens who stand together for the sake of the most precious resource of all... America's children. If all such persons stand together on this question, Hollywood's rotten (but gaily festooned) walls will go the way of Jericho's. Let's be among them.
