Committee to Restore the United States of America (1983: Doomsday)

The Committee to Restore the United States of America (CRUSA) is a non-government organization dedicated to the reestablishment of the United States of America.

Founding
CRUSA was founded in 1995, shortly after President Bush's statement that American expatriates and forces should become a part of Australian culture. The founding members were American expatriates living in Australia who opposed the Continuity Act believing that President Bush lacked the authority to make the decision to suspend the Constitution, even in the post-Doomsday world. One of the first major acts of CRUSA was to oppose the referendum in the remaining territories under the American Provisional Administration, however as the organization had about 30 members at the time and was based entirely in Australia there effect was minimal.

Expansion
From 1996 to 2006, CRUSA membership grew in Australia and other places where there were large numbers of Americans. CRUSA established "chapters" to act to better provide contact to Americans in different parts of the world. Three were established in the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand, specifically in the cities of Canberra, Brisbane, and Wellington. The chapter at Canberra became the headquarters of CRUSA. Chapters were also established in Micronesia, Samoa, and Marshall Islands. There were failed attempts to establish chapters in Hawaii and Alaska, a crushing blow to the moral of CRUSA who hoped to have a presence in the former American states.

Despite CRUSA's expansion, it remained on the fringe of local politics with a minority of Americans claiming membership in the organization.

Foothold in America
With the establishment of Municipal States of the Pacific in 2006 there was a growing movement inside CRUSA to establish a chapter on the continental USA. Instability in the region, however, held off such an undertaking until 2009 when the first CRUSA chapter was opened in Crescent City, MSP. The MSP has taken up much of CRUSA's focus since the establishment, with a significant portion of its budget directed toward its activities in the MSP. Currently they hope to encourage a stronger central government among the MSP, but have down played their ultimate goal of reestablishing the United States for fear of alienating to powerful civic leaders in the region. CRUSA has offered monetary support to MSP leaders in favor of a stronger central government and free classes on American history to the general public.

CRUSA was also an enthusiastic supporter of the Field Expedition, hoping the exploration of the interior of the continental United States will bring new survivor communities into contact with the rest of the world.

Mission
CRUSA was created for the primary purpose to reestablish the United States of America as a viable and stable nation-state reunited with all of its former territories. In furtherance of this goal they attempt to protect and promote American culture, history, and values. They also finance any American politician or organization who follows their agenda.

Financing
CRUSA is financed mostly from membership dues and donations, particularly from the estates of deceased members.

Criticism
CRUSA has been targeted by critics for having a right-wing political platform. Furthermore, during the failed attempts to establish a chapter in Hawaii some CRUSA members were involved in a highly publicized brawl with Hawaii police.
