RenewAmerica is an educational non-profit corporation that seeks to preserve the United States upon the self-evident truths proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence and ensured by the U.S. Constitution—as these founding documents are understood in light of their accurate history and the biblical values that informed them.
Our purpose is to courageously advance the cause of our nation's Founders through, above all, strengthening the families who comprise America’s grassroots—those God-fearing, decent people who want to leave a strong and free America to their posterity.
RenewAmerica is for ALL people who consider themselves loyal Americans. It has no philosophy, image, or agenda beyond this one unifying premise: America must return to its founding principles if it is to survive.
RenewAmerica is thus fundamentally nonpartisan and nondenominational.
Because RenewAmerica is "GRASSROOTS" at heart, it remains fundamentally independent, creative, and energetic in pursuing its distinctive agenda in the cause of strengthening America. We welcome your creative energy in this vital cause and invite you to take initiative to imitate, replicate, and multiply our efforts.
Please join with us.
The mission of RenewAmerica is to expand the influence of America's God-fearing, common sense-based grassroots—among both individual citizens and principled groups—in the cause of preserving our nation upon its foundational ideals, specifically those in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, as well as those derived from self-evident biblical truths.
To achieve our mission, we intend to fully utilize RenewAmerica’s free-speech rights as an alternative media source, as well as expand its comprehensive family-education vision, in the cause of fostering an ever-growing group of informed citizens willing to lead out in the education of themselves and their own children and thereby “secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,” as emphasized in the visionary words of the Preamble to the Constitution.
We intend to succeed in this ambitious undertaking—for the sake of our country in these uncertain times.
RenewAmerica began in January 2002 as a grassroots support for Alan Keyes' MSNBC TV show "Alan Keyes Is Making Sense." Over the years, RA's website has evolved into a significant Christian-based education vehicle — gathering scores of talented new writers (along with a handful of well-known established ones); promoting the core issues of moral conservatism in a highly-readable "magazine" format; and amassing a loyal following, particularly through its twice-weekly newsletter.
With former college president Dr. Keyes as Honorary Chairman, RA is a strong, independent voice for the causes that unite moral conservatives, and strives to be a beacon of truth at a time when our country is increasingly losing its way — morally, spiritually, politically, and culturally.
Interestingly, around 2023, RenewAmerica was ranked by a website called feedspot.com (under the title "70 Best Conservative News Websites") at number 50 out of 250,000 evaluated sources, based on the following criteria:
- Relevancy
- Post frequency (freshness)
- Social media follower counts and engagements
- Domain authority
- Age
- Alexa Web Traffic Rank, and many other parameters.
Since then, we have evidently been dropped from consideration—no matter what our ranking would OBJECTIVELY be. Given these facts, we continue to maintain that roughly two years ago, RenewAmerica.com was ranked number 50 among the "top" conservative news websites by feedspot.com in its "70 Best Conservative News Websites," based on the half-dozen objective criteria listed above by feedspot.com.
A note of further interest: About ten years ago, The New York Times' "about.com" website ranked RenewAmerica.com among the top ten conservative websites in the U.S., in the judgment of the website's editor.
The mission and purpose of RenewAmerica is to strengthen America's grassroots — through informing and equipping them upon a foundation that centers in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bible . . . (Click for more)
There are few issues that are of greater importance to the future of our nation than the constitutionally-guaranteed right of religious expression — both publicly and privately. In modern history, that right has been threatened as never before by an unduly secular judiciary – as evidenced by the Supreme Court's 1962 landmark Engel v. Vitale "prayer in school" decision . . . (Click to read Wikipedia's write-up of that irrational, destructive decision)
RenewAmerica is a not-for-profit enterprise that exists solely to educate, inform, strengthen, and mobilize grassroots Americans in the cause of preserving our republic.
RenewAmerica sells no product or service. It has no clients, customers, or employees. It accepts no paid advertising. It is affiliated with no political party, no news source, and no government agency. It seeks no tax benefits available under IRS rules for charitable organizations.
It depends entirely for its success upon the sacrifice of time and energy of its staff and participants, the free-will donations of its supporters, and the Providence of God.
Its primary goal is to multiply the influence of principled organizations, and it may therefore, from time to time, support selected causes, citizen initiatives, and candidates (regardless of party affiliation) that are closely aligned with RenewAmerica's ideals — ideals derived almost exclusively from our nation's founding documents, namely the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, and from the biblical principles that undergird them.
In pursuing these idealistic purposes, RenewAmerica is committed to being as free as legally permissible from governmental, institutional, and special-interest control or interference, and thus is decidedly simple, non-commercial, and altruistic in the highest sense of the term — meaning, it exists wholly to strengthen and preserve the best of American society. In so doing, it seeks no particular advantage for itself, and is concerned only with educating, upbuilding, and helping others.
In pursuing these ends, our overriding objective is to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity" (Preamble to the Constitution).

'This Ain't Us': In 2021 and 2022, a group of several prominent Never Trumpers evidently fundraised under the name "Renew America Movement" in an effort to defeat U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT). For more on the subject, see 'Renew America Movement' (Wikipedia) and "The most egregious lies Evan McMullin and the media have told about Sen. Mike Lee" (Stephen Stone, RenewAmerica).
