under god - Restore America
“Where there is no vision, the
people are unrestrained.”
RESTORING
THE
NATION...
The Vision of the Founding Fathers
RESTORE AMERICA is founded on the belief that God
was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself;
that the Founders of America understood the Gospel and
the Great Commission, and established a Republic to
preserve and advance the Kingdom of God through
biblically enlightened self government.
RESTORE AMERICA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Its purpose is to restore and preserve the godly heritage
passed on to us by our Founding Fathers
and all who have given their lives to protect it.

UNDER
GOD
Proverbs 29:18
The future of America depends on our
recognition that only those nations are blessed
whose God is the LORD (Psalm 33:12).
Whereas our Founders understood this
truth and sought to honor God, we have become a
nation “under men,” too many of whom no longer
seek God or honor His timeless principles.
The Mission of
Restore America is
to empower
Christians with
an accurate
understanding of
America’s Christian
History, Founding
Principles, and
Citizenship
Responsibilities.
“The propitious smiles of heaven
can never be expected on a nation
that disregards the eternal rules of
order and right which heaven itself
has ordained.”
George Washington, Inaugural Address, April 30, 1789

“Providence has given our people the choice of their rulers,
and it is the duty, as well as privilege and interest of a
Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
The Responsibility of God ’s People
We believe our Judeo Christian Heritage
and Civil Government as outlined in our founding documents to be of utmost importance to
America’s future; that informed, principled and
sustained involvement of Christians in civil
government is necessary to preserve the knowledge of God, the value of each human life, and
our God granted rights under the Constitution.

Restoring the “Vision”
The Vision of our Forefathers to create
a nation “under God” must be restored to
the Body of Christ if God’s people are to
fulfill their ‘salt and light’ responsibility in the
preservation of the Republic and the Gospel
of Christ.
(Proverbs 29:18, Matthew 5:13-16)

The Stewardship of Our Vote
The Declaration of Independence,
The Constitution, The Bill of Rights and the
VOTES of enlightened Christian citizens

all eligible Christians in America to participate
in civil government by casting a biblically
enlightened vote.
