McCain to speak to Council for National Policy Friday
by Carl Cameron
FOX NEWS HAS LEARNED that in New Orleans on Friday John McCain makes a major speech to the influential and little known Council for National Policy. The CNP is an umbrella organization of influential social and religious conservative groups.

The CNP members are not made public, meetings are not open to non-members, and they seldom even make public where and when their meetings occur.

McCain’s speech and subsequent Q&A will be videoed and publicized.

The group is filled with organizations and individuals who have been among McCain’s toughest conservative critics.
