There have been a bunch of article's written about "Ron Paul's Blimp" and I have noticed a couple comments about people noticing that it is just pledges and anyone can input an email address on the page.


We need to start the actual donations!! If you have to put a clause saying that if we don't get the required funds then we will allocate the donations to other "RON PAUL GRASSROOTS EFFORTS"

This way we start the ball rolling and start generating a real buzz not a "oh it's nothing but pledges" type of thing.

it all depends on when they get a treasurer that people can trust. last i heard they were still open to someone but i could be wrong

Get Mr Lawrence Lepard to be the treasurer. you can trust someone who drops 85grand of their own money to run a ron paul ad.

I understood that this project was going to be run via a registered Political Committee. Has that body been organized? I don't think they could accept real donations without having that work properly completed with the FEC.

I agree aswell.

There is not much time if we want this thing in the air in the coming weeks. The sooner people can start to donate the better.

Yup... donations need to start rolling in to give ample time to offset the fake pledges.

They will be rolling in today. We have the system set up to process the payments, we're now just waiting on the legal stuff to be wrapped up. Expect the new page sometime this afternoon.

Bacon,

Have any of you guys vetted the $5,000 pledgers at all?-- I fear troll possibilities.

We're not worrying about those. Our new system now has a maximum of $1,000,000 to buy ad time, so some of those $5,000 donations could potentially be more than $5,000 now.

I'm starting to get optimistic. I will be reloading ronpaulblimp.com for the rest of the day.
