I am a Cumberland Patriot. What does that mean? It means the same thing as a Main Street Patriot, a Courtland Avenue Patriot, or an Anywhere Street Patriot-it means we are vigilant about our quality of life on whatever street we live on.
It means we want to cross our streets safely without fear of being picked off by a truck gleefully taking a north/south shortcut through our town; it means we exercise our right to open our windows and not need a megaphone to have a conversation in our living rooms; it means I don't have to straighten all the pictures on my wall after a truck has thundered past my home. You get the picture. I am not a fearful, anti-progress citizen. I am a citizen who has to dust myself off every now and then, get off my comfy sofa, and remind my community that I am here and I am not passive, ill informed or fearful. I am a patriot for myself, my home, my neighbors and my town....and now for my street.
Say NO to the Cumberland Avenue Extension!

To quote Edmund Burke "The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men [and women!] to do nothing."
In this case, our intrepid Cumberland Patriot has issued a rallying cry.
Viva Cumberland!
