About

The Rural Patriot proudly serves as a fact-based, information sharing and discussion forum for issues and politically-related topics for Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties. 

 You do not need to be a resident of either of these counties to join in the discussion, but you will need to sign up for a user account at wordpress.com if you would like to contribute an article to this site.  You do not need to use your name - you may choose a screen name that shields your identity.   After you have activated your account, send an email message to (theruralpatriot@msn.com) saying you have completed the process.   Use the same email address that you have used to activate your account.  You will then be notified that your status is active for contributing articles.  Your email address is protected according to the policies of the wordpress.com website; I will also protect your email address to the best of my ability.

I look forward to your participation.  The geographic area of these two counties is large, and I’m sure that we have a lot to share.  Keeping each other informed with facts and discussion benefits us all.

Thank you.

The Rural Patriot
