Members of the CNP have included Phyllis Schlafly, former AG Ed Meese, Rev. Pat Robertson, conservative direct-mail guru Richard Viguerie, the late Jerry Falwell, founder of controversial Blackwater the private security firm and the late Cleon Skousen (the John Birch Society conspiracy theorist touted by Gov. Rick Perry in reelection speeches to religious conservatives). Perry hosted a CNP reception last Thursday night at the Capitol.
