Email Verification Process... USA
Patriotism! requires email verification to guard against spam, which
means a first time email will result in an email from USA
Patriotism! requesting you to reply to it before your submission can
be received.
You must provide your first and last name for poem to be listed and copyright protection purposes. No poem will be listed that is considered only for individuals 18 years and older, as USA Patriotism! is an all ages site. Poem is reviewed for intent and content . . . And must be positive in nature as the purpose is expressing one's love
and pride of the United States of America whether it is about a person, place, item, and etc . . . Poems that attack or comment negatively, even indirectly, against any person, place, and/or
America will not be listed . . . and should be submitted at Poetry Galore, sister site of USA Patriotism! Plagiarism and copyright infringement will result in immediate removal. English is the only version accepted. All CAPS are not allowed . . . Poem submitted in this manner will not be listed. Use "and" instead of "&" in poem.
Content submission is only accepted via the USA Patriotism! online process and will not be considered if sent by US Mail or another physical delivery service. |

Policy
Since the respective copyright owner (author, producer, photographer, or

creative work (article, poem, story, song, video, photo, graphic, and/or
other), they cannot be removed from USA Patriotism! once listed.
Listing Period Poems are
usually listed in 4 to 10 days, but at times might require a longer period. Also, poems are listed in the most applicable category, which could be different than what was selected on the submission form. (As of March 14, 2005, listing date is included.)

Notification will be by emailed with the USA Patriotism!
along with a Contributor's badge (see sample above) for display on your site.

Recent Listings page.
Submitting Another Poem
If you have one or more poems already
listed and are
uncertain of which ones they are . . . then
Search for them
via your first and last names to make sure you are not resubmitting the
same poem. You can also search via the title of the additional
poem and your name.
Note... Since you will not receive an email notifying you after
the first poem's listing . . . checking the
Recent Listings page after 10 days of
submission should result in finding it there with it likely being listed
before then. (You can also use
the Search feature at the top of each page and/or by browsing the categories.)
