From a Kos diary:

Ken Blackwell Ohio Candidate for Governor Caught Scrubbing Post about Speech Before Ultra-Rightwing Conservative Group

Recently, Ken Blackwell spoke at a meeting of the Council for National Policy.
Who is the Council for National Policy (CNP)? And if the name isn't familiar to you, don't be surprised. That's just what the Council wants.

"The media should not know when or where we meet or who takes part in our programs, before or after a meeting," reads one of the cardinal rules of the organization.

The membership list of this group is "strictly confidential." Guests can attend only with the unanimous approval of the organization's executive committee. The group's leadership is so secretive that members are told not to refer to it by name in e-mail messages. Anyone who breaks the rules can be tossed out."

"Alongside figures like LaHaye and leaders of the anti-abortion movement, the nascent CNP also included Joseph Coors, the wealthy beer magnate; Herbert and Nelson Bunker Hunt, two billionaire investors and energy company executives known for their advocacy of right-wing causes, and William Cies, another wealthy businessman."
