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.
Mission statement
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 Constititution.
We intend to succeed in this ambitious undertaking—for the sake of our country in these uncertain times.
History
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.
Traffic
Interestingly, around 2023, RenewAmerica was ranked by a website called feedspot.com (under the title "70 Best Conservative News Websites") at number 52 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.

Position statement on "prayer in school"
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 . . .
