To save everyone the effort, here’s the complete text of blah blah platitudes and bromides, as well as a complete list of all the RINO Never Trumpers in their new schtick.
PREAMBLE
These United States, born of noble convictions and aspiring to high purpose, have been an exemplar of self-government to humankind. Thus, when in our democratic republic, forces of conspiracy, division, and despotism arise, it is the patriotic duty of citizens to act collectively in defense of liberty and justice. We, therefore, declare our intent to catalyze an American renewal, and to either reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative.
We call for a rebirth of the American cause and do so in partnership and loyal competition with others committed to the preservation of our Union. With abiding belief in the value and potential of every soul and with goodwill for all, we hereby dedicate ourselves to these principles and make common cause in the flourishing of this great nation and its diverse states, communities, and citizens.
PRINCIPLES
1. Democracy
We seek the preservation and betterment of our democratic republic and the endurance of our self-government, free from interference and defended against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We support reforms that make our system more accessible, transparent, and competitive, oppose the disenfranchisement of voters, and reject populism and illiberalism, whether of the right or the left.
2. Founding Ideals
We reaffirm the self-evident truth that all persons are created equal and free, having the same inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that it is the prerogative of all to make personal decisions in accordance with their free will. We, therefore, condemn all forms of bigotry such as racism, religious intolerance, sexism, and persecution based on sexual orientation.
3. Constitutional Order
We uphold the Constitution as the inviolable and collective contract protecting liberty and justice for all, and honor the essential separation and balance it establishes among coequal branches of the federal government and the states.
4. Truth
We recognize truth and reason as essential to a free and just society, and expect our leaders, citizens, and press to seek and promote them. We oppose the employment of fear-mongering, conspiracism, and falsehoods and instead support evidence-based policymaking and honest discourse.
5. Rule of Law
We maintain that the impartial rule of law is essential to a free and just society to protect the rights and property of all people. No one is above the law, and our criminal justice system must treat everyone equally without discrimination based on race, status or other unrelated factors.
6. Ethical Government
We demand that public officials and aspiring leaders – regardless of party – act with integrity and honor, the absence of which is a harbinger for abuses of power that threaten the republic.
7. Pluralism
We are committed to a pluralistic society defined by its ideals and welcoming to all peoples rightfully seeking safety, opportunity, and a better life by becoming contributing members of our diverse nation. We reject the notion that America should be characterized by the races, birthplaces, religious affiliations, or partisan identities of its citizens.
8. Civic Responsibility
We believe that all Americans share civic responsibility, which is essential for our self-government and national success. Thriving communities are built by faithfully engaged citizens working to overcome differences with mutual respect and the bonds of civil affection. The solutions to many of America’s greatest challenges can only be found in our diverse communities.
9. Opportunity
We recognize open, market-based economies as consistent with our natural liberty and the optimal means of ensuring economic mobility and the allocation of scarce resources. We support sensible and limited regulation, including to ensure equal opportunity, and affirm government’s vital role in assisting vulnerable citizens, while encouraging self-reliance and ingenuity without the impediments of cronyism and corruption.
10. Free Speech
We reaffirm the Constitution’s guarantee of free speech and freedom of the press as essential to accountable government and the American way of life. We sustain the rights of individuals and private entities to exercise this freedom, even to express unpopular views, and condemn efforts to erode press freedom and public support for its vital role.
11. Conservation
We consider vital our shared stewardship of America’s resources – natural, environmental, and financial. We accept responsibility to conserve for ourselves and future generations these public assets, and to protect them from both natural and man-made harms.
12. Common Defense & Welfare
We uphold that government is instituted by the people to secure those essential, collective goods that individuals cannot attain for themselves, particularly providing for the common defense and promoting the general welfare. We, therefore, support policies that further public safety, health, and defense as required for enduring national sovereignty and prosperity.
13. Leadership
Having thrived in the abundance of a choice land, we believe that these United States must work in conjunction with friends and allies to advance worthy interests abroad and to promote freedom by example and with the judicious application of power.

WHO ARE WE?
We are concerned citizens—a group of national, state, and local leaders—calling for American renewal. The country is tired of division and political extremism. It’s time to restore a “common-sense coalition” in our political system, and we are committed to making that a reality.
WHAT’S THE CALL?
A Call for American Renewal is a rallying cry for pragmatists everywhere. Our nation’s future should not be dictated by a single person but by principles that bind us together. That’s why we believe in pushing for the Republican Party to rededicate itself to founding ideals—or else hasten the creation of an alternative.
WHAT’S NEXT?
We cannot stay quiet in the face of rising political extremism. We must stand up and defend our republic. Sign up for updates about how we’re taking action, and join us for our upcoming nationwide town hall on renewing America. Details to follow.
If they promise to really leave, can we add people to their list?
That list is a veritable Who’s Who of despicable RINOs.
Kinda lost me at Evan McMullen and George Conway.
What this collection of morons doesn’t realize is that the Marxist Leninist Stalinist opposition is not interested in creating coalitions or compromise or a dialogue; they want absolute power and will kill as many as necessary to get it. See the 20th century.
How are the 13 principals counter to what Trump stands for?
Like everything else connected to Washington, this is just about the money. The uniparty had everything set up and running pretty smoothly with regard to milking the system for themselves and their supporters. Trump comes along and starts telling the truth asking question that they didn’t want asked, and getting the American people to start paying attention to what’s really going on and it’s a total calamity for them. Some of the pretenders in the Republican party are now working to stay on some kind of gravy train (probably Soros’) as opposed to actually having to work at a real job in the private sector. Remember, it’s always about the money with these people.
The funny thing is, if you read the list, that’s exactly what Trump has been doing with his candidacy, presidency, and post-presidency. We know that some of the statements have a double-meaning, but they are Trump’s platform if read at face value.
Looks like they are trying to use a name that might be recognized! HaHa!
Most of these are has been boot lickers and bureaucrats. Good effin riddance
Thanks for the list of names.
I see my former congresscritter, Denver Riggleman, is on the list. Theres no wonder he got his butt primaried out in 2020. He joined the Freedom Caucus then voted Deep State.
Good riddance to smelly rubbish says I.
Oh man!!!!
Remember the tea party..
You know, the political movement that caught traction, only to be undermined by these very people?
Turnabout is fair play.
Let them get established, get some cash, and then...
Let the party begin!!!
Literally NO ONE on that list we will miss in any way...
What a bunch of losers and has-beens.
I know of / heard of three maybe four of these losers. Zero regards for any of them. Scaramucci, Sanford, Connelly, really? Buuuuwaaahaha!!!
Thanks for Posting it.
Lots of pablum and platitudes but nothing to explain what they plan to do if they ever retain power.
Are there supposed to be specific things that these Morons wrote that counter POTUS Trump and Trumpism, or did they just use vague language to mask their true intentions, the destruction of our Constitutional Republic?
We all know the answer. Just a bunch of Traitorous scumbags masking their true intentions.
Funny how they don’t directly attack the Xiden Regime and its Socialist anti Constitutional Agenda, the easiest and obvious target. What a bunch of frigging cowards, hoping to be the last ones eaten by the Crocodile.
As my dear Mother always said, some People are so smart, they’re stupid. She is proven right on a daily basis.
DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY.
Hire Americans, buy American and show respect to your Country, America, 24/7.
Thank you for posting the names! I see it’s all electoral losers, has-bens, hanger-ons of old regimes with a sprinkling of recent 15 minutes of famers (only thanks to MSM). IOW, nobody relevant to today’s battle for the soul and survival of the nation. Current office holders? Maybe I missed but none on there ring a bell.
So glad VA sh*t canned Denver Riggleman.
All Bush League Republicans, hell bent on making America into North Mexico.
Making America North Mexico is a step towards subsuming the USA to UN so they can get to Daddy Bush’s New World Order.
They have never been real Republicans, they dress up in R jerseys so people won’t know they are Assistant Democrats, TransRepublicans.
WOW! I’ve actually heard of 10 of them.
