Talk:Council for National Policy
includes John Ashcroft, Tommy Thomson and "Left Behind" author Tim LaHaye as former members. Despite pressure from the Democratic National Committee, the Bush campaign refuses to release a tape of the rumored "king-making" speech G.W gave before the council in 1999, fueling speculation that the council was responsible for his presidential nomination. Whether that's true or not, as the Washington Post reported last December, "For the first time since religious conservatives became a modern political movement, the president of the United States has become the movement's de facto leader." --[1]

I have removed this as I couldn't see what it's origin was. It wasn't the NYT article. --Bob Burton 18:14, 15 November 2006 (EST)
A "highly secretive... a theocratic organization -- what they want is basically religious rule".
