We NEED to get $200,000 by Friday midnight! This is already getting some press.

Yep, already getting valuable coverage to raise Paul's name recognition. It is a testament to what we already know, Paul has more enthusiastic support than any other candidate in the race.

We are getting mainstream coverage ALREADY. We MUST GET THIS DONE. And I was one of the many people skeptical at the start.

We need to do this.

I have spoken with people from the campaign that have master plans in the works... but they need the blimp (and the publicity from it) to succeed.

Yea, kinda makes me laugh too.

I was on the record when the salaries came out in total opposition to the blimp (well, I was specifically opposed to the for-profit company running the blimp project). I suggested the salaries be cut in half, which is a lot more reasonable. Now that they have done that, eliminated one position outright, and are being transparent about this...they are allowing a grassroots watchdog committee and will not take their salaries until the blimp gets off the ground...

I am totally for the blimp.

Please contact everyone you know, every email you can get ahold of, etc.

Im coming around on this as well. But major issues have not been resolved. And the emails I am getting from people asking me to "donate" to the blimp makes me a bit ticked off.

The blimp did inspire me to start Operation Front Door. We already have 11,000 doors being knocked on the week after the 16th. We need more meet up groups behind us though.

No! I won't draw much attention in that forum. Just live with it on here for two more days.
