Dear Friends of the Constitutional Republic:
When
I helped to found the Institute on the Constitution
years ago, it was because we recognized the need
to educate Americans about the principles and beliefs
that defined and established this great country.
Ever since that time, we have been looking for
effective ways to bring this knowledge to the youth
of America
and to reignite the spirit of true American patriotism
in this most important generation. Recently, along
with my wife Diane, I had the great privilege of
meeting with a group of gifted young people who
are truly and faithfully doing just that.
At the invitation of Mr. Bradlee
Dean, an immensely talented and visionary musician,
we traveled from Maryland to Minnesota to visit
with Mr. Dean and the musicians, technicians and
support staff of YOU
CAN RUN, BUT YOU CANNOT HIDE.
We talked about how our organizations might work
together to teach young Americans to love and appreciate
America. What a wonderful and rewarding experience!
These young and energetic and very
organized Americans are reaching out to the youth
of America with a message of hope and true patriotism.
What is so special and so effective is that they
are using music and media methods that are understandable
and appealing to the youth they are addressing.
This means that their message is getting through
to an incredible number of young people.
Their methods include the hard driving
multimedia band called “Junkyard Prophet”.
The energy and showmanship of the band sets the
stage for Mr. Dean and others to teach youngsters
some essential facts about the history of the founding
of America, the principles and beliefs articulated
by our founding fathers and the necessity for the
youth of today to be productive, healthy and patriotic
Americans.
The message includes the admonition
to stay away from drugs, pornography and perversion
and to appreciate and display honesty, integrity,
decency and morality.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed
our visit with these gifted and positively motivated
young people led by Mr. Dean. We thoroughly recommend
that school officials and youth leaders consider
contacting this fine organization and arranging
for their appearance. Their website, YOU
CAN RUN BUT YOU CANNOT HIDE will give you details about
their presentations and how to book them for school
assemblies and other events. They have played and
presented all over the country. If they haven’t
played for your school or group, I would encourage
you to invite them. You won’t regret it or
forget it!
For the restoration of the Republic,
Michael Anthony Peroutka
