OUR BELIEFS
The Declaration of Independence expresses the timeless and self-evident truths of the human condition: that all people are created equal, endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, and that governments exist solely to secure those rights.
The United States Constitution established a Constitutional Republic—not a pure democracy—designed to restrain power through separation of powers, federalism, and the rule of law.
The Bill of Rights stands as the explicit safeguard of individual liberty, placing permanent limits on government authority and affirming that certain freedoms are beyond the reach of the state.
Together, the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights form an inseparable triad:
- The Declaration defines why government exists
- The Constitution defines how government is structured
- The Bill of Rights defines what government may never do
America’s greatness does not flow from the state.
It flows from ordered liberty, individual responsibility, moral restraint, free enterprise, and equal justice under law.
THE PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
--Preamble to the United States Constitution
We affirm that:
- Rights come from God, not government.
- Government is granted power by the people to protect and defend the people's unalienable rights.
- Liberty precedes the state
- Law exists to restrain power, not expand it
- The Bill of Rights is not negotiable, conditional, or outdated
- A constitutional republic is the only durable protector of freedom
Any system—whether socialism, collectivism, technocracy, or theocratic authoritarianism—that subordinates the individual to the state or ideology is incompatible with these principles.
Our Faith and Secular Standing
RESTORE AMERICA’S MISSION® is a secular civic organization.
We are nonetheless unapologetically shaped by the Judeo-Christian moral tradition, rooted in both the Old and New Testaments, which informed the Founders’ understanding of natural law, human dignity, and moral accountability.
We affirm that the moral architecture of Western civilization—and the American founding—rests upon these principles, even as our organization itself remains non-ecclesiastical, non-denominational, and legally secular.
We defend religious liberty, not religious compulsion.
We uphold moral clarity, not moral relativism.
