"Like the KKK"???
The Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC) is an American far-right political organization that supports a large variety of conservative and paleoconservative causes in addition to white nationalism and white separatism.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Conservative_Citizens

Members of the Citizens' Council were sometimes Klansmen, and the more influential the Citizens' Council member, the more influence he had with the Klan. In fact, the WCC was even referred to during the civil rights era as "an uptown Klan," "a white collar Klan," "a button-down Klan," and "a country club Klan."

Yes that is former Va. Governor and US Senator George Allen




Senator Trent Lott posed with officials of the pro-white Council of Conservative Citizens in 1997. From left, William D. Lord, state coordinator; Mr. Lott; Tom Dover, president, and Gordon L. Baum, executive officer.

1. And Tancredo is honorary chairman for Youth for Western Civilization
Faculty and students at colleges with YWC chapters have expressed concerns that "Western civilization" may in fact be a euphemism for "white civilization".

YWC opposes multiculturalism and affirmative action on college campuses and supports a return to the study of, and pride in, "western culture". Critics argue that this agenda is too similar to white nationalist groups such as the Council of Conservative Citizens. Supporters claim that the group is no different than other ethnic advocacy organizations such as La Raza./

So their group is just like La Raza, hmm? Interesting!

2. I was not aware of that group. Thanks
Activism

YWC members have engaged in a range of activities, including picketing outside a performance of The Vagina Monologues, which they branded as pornography.

7. On one of the links from the Wiki article it was said they have about10 members on each campus
I mentioned it to my husband and he said that it takes 10 students to get meeting space for a campus group on most campuses. There were less than a dozen campuses listed where they are established, so that means there are maybe 120 members total!

You want to bet they are mostly white males?
