Much of the best writing on the CNP has been done by the now-defunct Institute for First Amendment Studies (which is available via an archive at PublicEye here); Americans United has continued research on the CNP after IFAS ceased operations, and there are further resources here, here,  and (from an apologetics site with a conservative, if decidedly antidominionist, viewpoint) here.  (The latter is actually a surprisingly good resource on biographies of CNP members and tracing links between dominionist groups.  Most of the info is verifiable and pulled from other, often secular, sources.)

The Arlington Group is generally considered to be far smaller in membership, is possibly even more secretive than the CNP in some levels, but substantially does overlap with the CNP's membership (hence the confusion); the Arlington Group's main focus is lobbying in Washington and working with dominionist-friendly politicians.

The Coalition on Revival is more explicitly pente-dominionist, is mostly comprised of people with hard links to the "ministry" (such as it is) of dominionist churches, but again largely overlaps with the CNP's membership.

Oh, and for those wanting more info on SBC and pente dominionist links--Tim LaHaye (mentioned in the article) is the selfsame Tim LaHaye whose wife is the leader of Concerned Women for America and the selfsame Tim LaHaye who is co-author of the "Left Behind" books.  (These books are, in essence, a fictionalisation of what pente dominionist groups into premillenial dispensationalism actually believe will happen soon.)

Whilst people are more familiar with the "Left Behind" fictionalisations, Tim LaHaye has actually been promoting premillenial dispensationalism and dominion theology for literally decades; some of his first recorded books on the subject (geared towards pentecostal church audiences) date from 1974 and 1975.

Even more interestingly, Tim LaHaye is linked with the group Christian Voice--a group that is known to be essentially a front group of the Assemblies of God (according to multiple resources, including a at least one excellent history of the hijacking of the Republican Party and specifically the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship International--one of the two oldest dominionist groups in the US (the only other group with a longer history is "The Fellowship", which dates back to pre-WW II).  In fact, Tim LaHaye was a member of Christian Voice when it was actively partnering with some of the same parties who founded the first major dominionist thinktank and political group--the National Christian Action Committee.  (The same parties mentioned in the article on the CNP also were participants in the NCAC, and it is probably not a stretch to state the Coalition for National Policy is a "daughter organisation" of the NCAC.)

One of the other groups that LaHaye helped start was the Moral Majority (Jerry Falwell's group that has now morphed into Liberty Counsel and several other efforts Falwell is orchestrating to promote dominionism).  This article in Sojourners Magazine details LaHaye's long history in promoting dominionism and premillenial dispensationalism.

Another organisation that LaHaye founded is a group called the "Pre-Trib Research Center" whose entire purpose is the promotion of premillenial dispensationalism (up to and including posting of news articles showing how "The End Is Near").  Again, there are links with Falwell; the present director of the Pre-Trib Research Center is an associate professor of religion at Liberty University.

LaHaye is also instrumental in founding the Coalition on Revival as well.  (Yes, LaHaye is in large part responsible for starting the modern dominionist movement in large part!)  One of the more interesting links in this is a NameBase listing of persons with connections to the Coalition on Revival and ESPECIALLY a NameBase mapping on LaHaye's connections to other dominionists which are very extensive.  (It's not an exaggeration to term him one of the ringleaders.)
