CONCERNED
WOMEN OF AMERICA
Written By
S. R. Shearer
Concerned Women of America (CWA) is the largest women's group in America.
The CWA's membership dwarfs the membership of the National Organization
of Women (NOW), and there are many who claim that its structural sophistication
makes NOW's look sophomoric. Tim LaHaye's wife, Beverly, heads the organization.
Corporations helping to bankroll CWA include: Pepsico, Levi Strauss
and Co., Avon, American Express, Sun Company, the United Bank of Denver
and the Government Employees Insurance Company.[1]
CWA's "Kitchen table activists" are organized into prayer
groups and phone trees, with members committed to performing
simple but effective tasks like phoning and writing government
representatives. Fifty people form a chapter. Each chapter consists
of a leader and seven prayer chain leaders who, in turn, each
have seven contacts to make on a given issue. When the network
is activated over a particular news event or pending piece of
legislation, the results can be phenomenal. In one two-week
period, CWA and followers of another Christian ministry deluged
a federal agency with 97,000 letters.[2]
