While I think the blimp is a creative way to promote the Ron Paul, I think the text on the site is unprofessional sounding and should be changed as soon as possible, considering how the media is starting to copy and paste from there. I wrote three possible alternatives. Does anyone agree or am I being a fascist, lol.
One: Funny
Whats so enormous you can't ignore it, and soaring higher every day? Well, yes, the national debt. But right now we are talking about the Ron Paul Blimp! Ron Paul's blimp will soar to the top of the skies, for the same reason his message is spreading- the contents are less dense! Some may say we get enough hot air from politicians, so this blimp is filled with helium. It's less costly, more efficient, and better for the environment; and you know what they say- candidates will run their office like they run their campaigns. While the other candidates rack up debt and pay for “grassroots” support, Ron Paul's campaign is in the black and his supporters are heading to the great blue yonder!
Make this outrageously creative, slightly absurd, and uniquely American dream take flight! Pledge now and tell your grandkids how you funded the blimp that saved their future.
Two: Appeal to the need
Look, up in the sky! Its a bird! Its a Plane! Its... Its... Ron Paul for President? Tired of being marginalized as second tier? News coverage of other candidates eating waffles or going mini-golfing not quite cutting it for you. It's time to do something. Its time to take this campaign to the next level, like the stratosphere. The Ron Paul blimp can become a reality. A small investment from us can increase name recognition, voter interest, and score heavy media attention. Flying over major cities and gatherings, people will wonder why we care so much about this election. If even a small percentage of the people who see the airship learn why the message of liberty is so important, we can have a major effect on this election. To undo the tethers on this idea, pledge now and commit to support this project.
How can there be change if people don't know. It is out of the ordinary, but an extraordinary need demands extraordinary efforts. Help raise awareness of our extraordinary candidate by pledging today!
Three: Unprecedented
Many of you have been supporting Ron Paul for decades. Others of you, like myself, have only recently come to learn that for which he stands. We have accomplished great things as a grassroots campaign. We have set fund raising and Internet records, showing the world that Americans still stand for liberty. This campaign is on the precipice of a change in many people's minds- from spoiler to potential upset. We have known this for some time, but America is only now finding out about Ron Paul as a candidate. To increase name recognition in such a short time, we must do something outrageous, unprecedented, and on short notice. Our plan? A blimp. It has never been done before, and will make all the media outlets. Hundreds of thousands of people will see it with their own eyes, and millions will see it on the news. The small investment is nothing compared to the name recognition we will garner from this event.
Together, we can make this a reality and celebrate freedom with a flying Ron Paul billboard. Pledge now so we can start flying over early primary states.
