2021 American political manifesto
A Call for American Renewal is an American political
manifesto released on May 13, 2021, by 150 members and former members of the
Republican Party.
[1] It calls for strengthening the
rule of law and increasing
government ethics. The manifesto was released one day after the ousting of
Representative
Liz Cheney as chair of the
House Republican Conference, and was largely seen as a reaction against the influence of
Trumpism within the Republican Party.
[2] The effort was organized by
Evan McMullin and
Miles Taylor.
