They have come together for several political organizations:
National Religious Broadcasters
Members include Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart, Tim LaHaye, Billy Graham, Bill Bright, Sun Myung Moon
Coalition For Religious Freedom
Tim LaHaye held a paid position as Chairman. It was formed by LaHaye after Moon was arrested for tax evasion. Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart, James Robison, James Kennedy and Rex Humbard, have all served as executive committee members.
These people are all interconnected in some ways
Swaggert himself is NOT a member of the CC, as that is Falwell and Robertson's group. and Swaggert has his own (which pulls in greater ratins than anything those two can come up with) They are rivals for power and influence.
CC is the identifier everyone knows, so I use that one for simplification. By and large they all hold the same views on these issues, some being more extreme and abrasive than others.
