National Council for a New America

The National Council for a New America is a group of Republican Party members[1] that is aimed at rebranding the party.[2] The group was formed as a way to both rebound from recent setbacks, and to cast off the "party of no" labeling that the Republicans have been given by the Democrats.[2]

The first meeting was conducted on May 2, 2009 in Arlington, Virginia.[3]

History

News reports cite sources that say the panel was born of conversations between Cantor and the members of the experts panel.[4]

gollark: I should really try and figure out how to make skynet distributed-ish, i.e. capable of supporting multiple linked servers.
gollark: Rednet is its own library. Modems are a peripheral.
gollark: Rednet is a dumb™ protocol on top of modems.
