Make "The Rockland Maine Song" the Official Song of Rockland

The Issue

"Driving Old Memories - The Rockland Maine Song" has been sung, viewed, downloaded and played by thousands of people all across the world since its premiere in 2010. Written by 76 year-old Ervin Robinson, a 7-generation Rockland born native son, the song has spanned the globe to over 32 countries heartening residents and tourists alike to cherish the beautiful coastal town from both near and far. The music video has aired daily on local television for over a decade and even inspired a couple from New York to move to Rockland because of the beauty found within its images and message. Robinson's story expresses a timeless heritage that can be found in generations of Rockland families that date back long before Maine became a State and this is why "The Rockland Maine Song" strikes a deep note within the hearts of so many. The Rockland City Council recently rejected a proposal to adopt the song; instead offering suggestions to hold a contest or a talent show that would choose a different city song annually. Please help make Ervin's song the Official City Song of Rockland Maine! Your signature is needed and your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
