Michael Peroutka at Christ College in Lynchburg, VA (October 30, 2004)

Michael Peroutka, the Constitution Party candidate for the 2004 U.S. presidential election, speaks at Christ College in Lynchburg, VA, on October 30, 2004. Afterwards, Peroutka issued a statement on his official campaign website:

"For some time I have been considering that this speech would be the "last speech" of the campaign. For that reason alone I wanted it to be a quality representation of our themes and our purpose.

Traveling down through the Virginia countryside with my great friend and brother (and, for this trip, my chauffer) Pastor Mike Chastian was a special joy. He is a great Southern Christian gentleman, and a great preacher. On my own Christian walk he has been an agent of Providence. To share this trip with him was wonderful. With about ten hours of driving time in two days, we talked about important things, unimportant things, listened to great Southern music, and prayed for God's guidance of our efforts to carry forth His Great Commission.

Traveling down the Shenandoah Valley to Lynchburg on Friday evening, we stayed overnight and breakfasted with Jeff Butler who met up with us to film the speech and the event at Christ College. Matt Deamer, our friend from Pennsylvania who is studying at Christ College, was our host. I had the pleasure of meeting with Matt's parents and his fiance. I also met up with our good friend Buddy Hansen, who arranged his busy travel schedule to be with us yesterday.

I was most gratified to see such a large crowd that actually overflowed our meeting room at Bansen Hall at Christ College. I believe that my remarks were well accepted. There was a local TV channel (13?) that interviewed me before my remarks and the thought struck me that -- finally -- I'm not terrified to speak to TV reporters. Regrettably, this maturity comes only now that the campaign is essentially over. Oh, well!

Please click here to view my speech at Christ College. If there is someone whom you think will vote for us if they might hear these remarks, please forward this to them while there are these last few hours left.

God bless you all for your faith and your faithfulness.

Deo Vindice,

Michael Anthony Peroutka"
