In the wake of last week's election of Barack Obama
— an event many believe is tantamount to a Marxist takeover of
our country by powerful radicals who are planning major changes to America —
conservatives are wondering what they can do to stem the socialist revolution
that is about to transform our nation.
Given the severity of the threat that exists to our
liberty, we at RenewAmerica believe that only faithful reliance upon the
will of God — by a sizeable number of patriotic, informed, God-fearing
Americans — will preserve our republic in the days, months, and years
ahead.
RenewAmerica is committed to doing its part to
bring about such a "counter-revolution" — one that begins with a
revival of the heart and soul of America. We'd therefore
like to announce the creation of two new websites under the sponsorship
of RenewAmerica — both designed to assist grassroots citizens in
taking back our country.
AmericasRevival.com &
DecentAmerica.com
The first new website is AmericasRevival.com,
a nonpartisan organizing tool for preserving our country upon
God-centered principles and ideals. The site — which is linked with the Activism page at RenewAmerica
— will emphasize the need for building unity among God-fearing Americans whose
first priority is obedience to the will of God. The site is independent of
any national leader, candidate, or political party.
Please visit AmericasRevival.com, sign the new
Pledge for America's Revival, and get involved in the grassroots movement to
reclaim our country.
The second new website is DecentAmerica.com — a
grassroots advocacy tool for promoting decency in all facets of American life,
beginning with arts, media, and entertainment; spoken and written language; and
everyday human relations. The goal of the site — which is still under
construction — will be to use all available nonpolitical avenues to
bring back simple decency to American culture, something that's vital to
preserving the foundations of Western Civilization in today's "culture
war."
To get a glimpse of what we're putting together to
help grassroots citizens with these and other initiatives, be sure to see RA's
new Activism
page.

- Pages load quicker.
- Content is now posted more often — and on a wider
range of timely issues.
- Our writers' columns are laid out better,
and are given more emphasis.

more attractive layout — as well as a new, easy-access
archive.
- The RenewAmerica Newsletter
is now published twice-weekly — to keep you better informed of the latest
conservative news and commentary.
-
RenewAmerica's Minuteman Message Board has
been upgraded to include new features.

Prize-winning cartoonist Michael Ramirez.

country.
- We've updated our links
page.
These changes continue our firm commitment to
moral conservative values and priorities.
Nothing's changed in that regard.
At the same time, we've made the site more
distinctly independent and nonpartisan — emphasizing
issues above personalities, and fostering a marketplace of
responsible views and positions from which our readers may choose for
themselves.
Feedback
Here's some of the feedback we've received in
response to our recent changes:
- "I'd like to congratulate you on the reworking of
the RenewAmerica website. It's clean, it's pure, and it's easy to
read. You should get an award for this. . . ."
- "The new RenewAmerica site look is
great!"
- "I love the new format. It is attractive in
design. The stories are more varied, move more quickly, come from a
greater variety of sources, and are more timely."
- "RenewAmerica.us looks new and
fresh."
- "Love the new look of the site."
- "The website is excellent. I like both the
unequivocating allegiance to principle and the stand-out presentation that
draws attention to every item."
RA's traffic
patterns
As a result of these improvements, traffic at the site has
nearly doubled in recent months — jumping from 51,000 individual U.S. visitors
in August to 95,000 individual U.S. visitors in
October, according to Compete.com.
In addition, a new internet ranking service called
Quantcast.com now lists
RenewAmerica even higher — with an estimated 117,000 individual U.S.
visitors per month.
Such figures indicate that RenewAmerica is strong
and relevant — and growing even more so, thanks to the response of its
longstanding and newfound viewers.
Fundraising drive
As we undertake to improve RenewAmerica, one of our
goals is to build the financial strength we need to make a real difference in
countering the socialist agenda that threatens our country, and to better
educate and mobilize America's grassroots. We've therefore launched our
latest fundraising drive.
If you enjoy the timely, thought-provoking,
informative content available at RenewAmerica, and also support RA's deep
commitment to influencing our nation's future, please help us make the site
increasingly current, vibrant, and useful. Any amount you can donate to
sustain our comprehensive efforts would be greatly appreciated!
Bear in mind that RenewAmerica is a not-for-profit
enterprise that exists solely to inform, strengthen, and equip grassroots
Americans in the cause of restoring our republic. It sells no product or
service, and it accepts no paid advertising. It is also not affiliated
with any other sponsoring organization — and additionally, in order to remain as
free and independent as possible, it seeks no tax benefits available under IRS
rules for nonprofit organizations, which always come with strings
attached.
Instead, RenewAmerica depends entirely for its
success upon the free-will donations and generous sacrifice of its
supporters. God bless you for your continuing support of
RenewAmerica.
