2008 - "Let's Twist Again" with Carolyn Checkers 2007 [Cong. CBM annual letter to S.V.A. is long received and n progress to be placed here.] 2007 Movie: "A Life Interrupted - The Debbie Smith Story" featuring CBM New movie "A Life Interrupted" premieres on Monday, April 23, 2007 at 9 p.m. on Lifetime television (Channel 12 in New York). It is the story of housewife Debbie Smith who was dragged from her own home in Williamsburg, Virginia, brutally attacked and raped in a wooded area of her own backyard. The film is also the powerful story of Debbie's subsequent turn to activism against rapists and increase the chances of justice for their victims. Six years after Debbie's devastating experience, her assailant, already in prison on other convicted charges, was identified. Congressmember Carolyn Maloney proposed the original legislation which would fund evidence-gathering "rape kits" and help put more rapists in jail. Carolyn ensured that this legislation in the interests of rape victims was passed by Congress. The legislation is named the Debbie Smith Act of 2003. President George Bush, Jr., wholeheartedly signed the act into law in 2004. Debbie Smith became the face of this anti-rapist law. The movie is also a profile in determination how Debbie survived her ordeal, persevered for the better and accomplished greater goods despite her life being turned upside down. In the riveting film, Debbie is played by Lea Thompson and Carolyn is portrayed by Lynn Adams. After the conclusion of the film, both Debbie Smith and Carolyn Maloney personally appear in public service announcements regarding rape victims. Congratulations to Congressmember Carolyn for once again making a big and better difference in the well-being of the lives of her constituents and far beyond to all Americans -- females and males. 2006  2005 [Congressmember Maloney's original 2005 letter was received by the S.V.A.

Note: Reproduced in lavender from the STONEWALL Newzletta "New Millennium Gay Pride Edition" (2000) as this letter was selected as one of the "S.V.A.'s Top 5 Best Letters".. 1999  1998  Congressmember Carolyn B. Maloney In June of 1999, Congressmember Carolyn Maloney was unanimously elected by the membership of the STONEWALL Veterans Association ("S.V.A.") to be its next Honorary Female Chairperson. She succeeded Liz J. Abzug who held the post for one year after we all lost her mother, former Congressmember Bella S. Abzug. Bella! was the S.V.A. Honorary Female Chairperson for nearly three decades! Congressmember Carolyn is most honored by that distinction as she greatly admired Bella! In fact, Carolyn was the only sitting public official to speak a tribute at Bella's memorial services on April 2, 1998. For 2006, just relating to the STONEWALL Veterans' Association, Congressmember Carolyn is the featured speaker at the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute, hosted by Bella's daughter and S.V.A. Honorary Member Liz Abzug, on Wednesday, February 8th @ 10 a.m.; the keynote speaker at the annual International Gay Business Expo on Saturday, March 25th @ 11 a.m.; and will be leading the annual New York City Gay Pride Parade with the S.V.A. on Sunday, June 25th @ 12 noon. In addition, the favorite Congressmember will be a special guest speaker at a monthly S.V.A. meeting during the Summer of 2005. This year Carolyn is also running for re-election to Congress and she deservedly has the full support of all of the members of the S.V.A. of which she is the beloved Honorary Female Chairperson. We always look forward to the celebratory victory parties for Congressmember CBM. In the Spring of 2008, Congressmember Carolyn's book, "Rumors Of Our Progress Are Greatly Exaggerated", about the women's movement and the real and perceived progress of women today and how it can be improved, was released to critical praise. On May 29th, the Congressmember appeared on popular New York 1 News television to tell about her book in a great interview!
