Hunter and The Christian Coalition
Hunter was asked in July 2006 to become the next president of the Christian Coalition. The group was started in 1988 by Pat Robertson and grew in influence throughout the early 1990s to a base of 1.2 million members and a revenue of $26.5 million in 1996. Hunter accepted the position of president-elect of the organization. Before assuming the presidency in January 2007, he declined the post, saying the group resisted his efforts to broaden its agenda beyond gay marriage and abortion into creation care and the alleviation of poverty.
