The [[Christian Action Network]] (CAN) was founded in 1990 by [[Martin Mawyer]].<ref>[http://www.christianaction.org/aboutus.aspx About Us], Christian Action Network, accessed 14 September 2009.</ref>

==Homophobia==
A 2005 profile by the Southern Poverty Law Center described the Network as one of the most influential anti-gay groups on the Christian right.<ref>[http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=869 'A Mighty Army' A dozen major groups help drive the religious right's anti-gay crusade], Intelligence Report, Southern Poverty Law Center, Spring 2005.</ref>

==1992 election==
The Federal Election Commission threatened to fine CAN up to £250,000 in 1992, charging that its attacks on [[Bill Clinton]]'s stance on gay rights violated rules that prevent tax-exempt groups advocating for or against particular candidates. The case led CAN to issue a series of fund-raising letters, ''Christian Century'' reported:
::In one of the letters, dated May 13, Mawyer warned that if the fine sticks "then the militant homosexuals will have won ... and the murdering abortionists will have won ... and the anti-men, anti-family feminists will have won ... and the god-less atheists."<ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1058/is_n21_v111/ai_15650594/ Christian Action Network faces fine], Christian Century, 13 July 1994.</ref>

==Homegrown Jihad==
In February 2009, Christian Action Network produced a documentary entitled ''Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.'', which purported to uncover a network of nearly three dozen terrorist training compounds in the U.S.<ref>[http://www.christianaction.org/never-before-revealed-terrorist-training-video.aspx NEVER-BEFORE-REVEALED TERRORIST TRAINING VIDEO EXPOSES 35 COMPOUNDS ON AMERICAN SOIL], Christian Action Network, 28 January 2009.</ref>

According to ''CBS News'', US officials described the film as "sensationalistic" and without any real foundation:
::According to one official, it is strictly designed to upset and inflame people and does not present a true picture of any so-called “homegrown Jihad” danger. No current intelligence exists to suggest any threat connected with this group, which officials describe as “wannabes” and not terrorists.<ref>Bob Orr, Khaled Wassef and Christine Delargy, [http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/11/cbsnews_investigates/main4793713.shtml "Homegrown Jihad" Documentary Trailer], CBS News, 11 February 2009.</ref>
