Christian Action Network, Clinton's Vision for a Better America

This commercial aired over 250 times in 24 major cities across the country along with newspaper advertisements, in which the little known right wing organization Christian Action Network , Forest, Virg., condemned Clinton for supporting "radical homosexual rights."

This ad is interspersed with pictures of young men wearing chains and leather marching in a Gay Pride parade, and one wearing a "Gay Fathers" T-shirt, threatening the possibilities of gays in the military, gay adoptions and alleging gay "job quotas." The ad concluded by asking, "Is this your vision for a better America?"

The group, which failed to register as a political action committee, led to a Democratic complaint with the Federal Election Committee, or FEC, which said CAN was violating campaign laws. Following a government investigation, the FEC sued CAN in federal court in October 1994. However, the FEC lost the case against the group.

In 2000, the group came back with a more daring ad against Hillary Clinton just before her election for New York state senator in an attempt to foil the candidate.

With ominous music and drum beats, a narrator intones: "It is rumored that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian...It is rumored that Hillary Clinton supports homosexual marriage...It is rumored that Hillary Clinton will leave her husband upon taking office...It was rumored that Bill Clinton had an affair with Monica Lewinsky. Sometimes rumors are true. Shouldn't you know the truth? For more information on traditional family values, please contact the Christian Action Network."
