Michael Anthony Peroutka (born 1952) is a Maryland lawyer, the founder of the Institute on the Constitution. He once held a position in the United States Department of Health and Human Services and was the Constitution Party candidate for president in 2004. He is co-host of ''The American View'' radio program. Peroutka was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He is a graduate of Loyola College in Maryland and the University of Baltimore School of Law. He was the Chairman of the Constitution Party of Maryland and a member of the Executive Committee of the Constitution Party National Committee. In 2014 he became a Republican and won election to the County Council of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. ==2004 presidential campaign== In the United States presidential election, 2004, he was the Constitution Party's candidate. His campaign theme was "God, Family, Republic" and he emphasized the Bible, the traditional family, and the need for constitutionally limited government. His running mate was independent Baptist minister Chuck Baldwin. He gained support from many paleoconservatives, and was also endorsed by the America First Party and Alaskan Independence Party.〔(Freedomwriter.com :: Headline News :: Alaska – AIP ELECTS NEW OFFICERS )〕 Peroutka was also endorsed by the League of the South and supported by a group called "Southerners for Peroutka". Peroutka accepted the endorsement from the League at their 2004 national convention. Radio host Alex Jones stated he would be voting for Peroutka.〔(LP: Alex Jones interviews Constitution Party presidential candidate Michael Peroutka )〕 He appeared on the White Nationalist radio show, The Political Cesspool to promote his campaign, describing it as a "Christian/Constitutionalist radio program" and "a great blessing to our cause". Political commentator Pat Buchanan stated on the September 7, 2004 edition of ''Hardball with Chris Matthews'', "There is a chance I would vote for Peroutka."〔('Hardball with Chris Matthews' for Sept. 7 – MSNBC Transcripts – MSNBC.com )〕 The November 8, 2004 issue of ''The American Conservative'' contained endorsements by Taki Theodoracopulos〔(The Real Deal )〕 and Howard Phillips〔(Constitutionally Correct Peroutka )〕 (the latter having founded the party Peroutka represented). He was also endorsed by the late Dr. Samuel T. Francis.〔(Peroutka For President: Wasting A Vote – Or Sending A Message? )〕 Peroutka received just over one-tenth of one percent of the national popular vote, finishing fifth nationally with just under 150,000 votes. This was a showing similar to previous Constitution Party candidacies of Howard Phillips – however, it was the only third party to increase its share of the vote in 2004. Kentucky Republican politician Matt Bevin's support for Peroutka's candidacy was used in a 2013 attack ad by opponent Mitch McConnell. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Peroutka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
