"Restoration PAC is a political action committee based out of Downers Grove, Illinois. The group, which identifies itself as nonpartisan, "sponsors political activities advocating for policy changes and/or the election or defeat of candidates on the basis of their adherence to the Blueprint for the Restoration of America."

Blueprint for the Restoration of America
Mission: We exist to further the beautiful experiment of America, helping to hold the core of American culture together and advancing selfless public servants working to do the same.
Eternal truths: In God we trust; His truths we'll exalt. We acknowledge that all innocent life is supremely valuable, and that marriage is for one man and one woman for life and should be encouraged and protected.
Homeland: We push for the smallest possible, debt-free federal government supported by the smallest taxpayer burden possible.
Overseas: We must aggressively confront evil using force as the absolute last resort, lead our allies, and do so by maintaining significant worldwide military supremacy.
