It may sound unmanly but this just about brought tears to my eyes. Dont get caught up in the "one banner" negativity. We have a freakin blimp in the air when other candidates can barely afford gas for their bus and WE did it. This is a time to rejoice and to rally the troops for the tea party and the primary. Let's stop the arguing and bickering and get the job done!

That photo kicks some serious ass! Get it up on Digg!

[Ibtz]

Awesome!

[scbissler]

I love it, in fact just made it my avatar!

I think it would normally be better but it is pretty overcast here in Maryland and I am about 3-4 hours from where the blimp took off so I would imagine it is about the same there.

Amazing... simply amazing!

[RoyalShock]

Tremendous!!!

[wisconsinite]

good photo, but it has to be blown up to a decent size to see the blimp clearly.

[hocaltar]

Hey so everyone knows, people in the military overseas and here working stateside CANNOT see the pictures when people use the online picture sharing sites. We can see them when individuals host them. Please re-host good pics to show some support for the troops.. :)

The dude on horseback with our flag reminds me of the scene in the movie "The Patriot" where Mel Gibson rides with a tatered American flag the colonists flew to ralley the troops. I got goose bumps seeing this photo with that image plus the blimp. Man, dare I say I am tearing up.

[curtisag]

Thanks for my new desktop background :).

I love Ron Paul !!!

I just sent the photo to Fox so hopefully hey will show it at some point during the day. If you have a news source you can send it to than please do it. Or just e-mail it to as many people as you can because this is the most powerful Ron Paul photo I have seen to date and it will grab the attention of the average American.

To those of you overseas or who otherwise cannot see the photo, I apologize. I would gladly post the photo here for you but as sad as it is to say, I have no idea how to do that. All of us in the grassroots have different talents but alas, computers are not mine. If someone knows how to get the photo to show on the forum than would you please post it here so that all of our fellow revolutionaries can see? Thanks in advance!

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

it was posted while I was typing.. thanks lol

[Mortikhi]

Can any of you nancies see the hole in the "n"?

[sirachman]

Send this photo to all media outlets, magazines, and blogs!

[jenn122]

[Vendico]

yeah, get this hosted in several places. I can't see pics hosted on Flicker and I'm sure others can't either.

I like the brighter one.

[Meatwasp]

Some one mentioned a tattered flag. I know that might not go so well but gee our country is in tattered. I won't go as so far of saying to put it half mast and upside down lol

[Thor]

good photo, but it has to be blown up to a decent size to see the blimp clearly.

I did a small photochop...

I think the blimp is AWESOME!!!!!!!! Blimps aren't normally beautiful, but this one's GORGEOUS. The photo of the bad-ass flag carrier made my day!

Great job to all those who donated and big props to the "crew."

I have this funny feeling, wait what is it, its been so long, Yes thats it Hope!:D

[AlabamaWildMan]

Most awesome thing I've seen airborn since Bud Anderson's Old Crow ! !!

[mopar.bo]

What does the other side look like?

[mmink15]

I understand why the blimp was blown up, so it could be seen better. However, I like the original the best still. That you have to look closer to see what's on the blimp is a good analogy for Ron Paul's candidacy.

yeah sending links to the altered pics is a problem for media and the campaign. AP reporters have gotten in big stinks for publishing 'tweaked' pictures.

[BillyDkid]

I have to admit, I was one of those who wasn't exactly sold on the blimp idea, but honestly, this is very exciting.

I like this brightened version from jenn122 best.

Image is very evocative. I like that you can't see the riders face--it is all of us-- making a quiet but powerful statement, proudly, no defiantly, holding the flag high.

I havent been sending the links for the altered pics. I have been sending the link to the original pic as first posted this morning. In my humble opinion it is the most powerful of them.

one more: Flag - big one on Flicker

Exactly! Thanks for typing out what I was thinking.

[orion846]

did it actually go up with one 1 side on?

yes, the other banner's not ready yet.

Time to think positive thoughts… (http://ondecember16th.com/archives/26)

December 13th, 2007 by Katharine Memole To get the second banner (r[evol]ution) to the hangar in Elizabeth City, NC by 2AM in Friday, December 12th. That is the latest we can receive it and still get the banner on the blimp and get the blimp out of the hangar early enough to avoid winds that could strand it.

Originally the owner of www.personalblimp.com (http://www.personalblimp.com) (whose company made the banners) was going to fly a commercial flight to Elizabeth City, NC with the banner earlier tonight. The weather in Massachusetts was so bad he couldn’t fly so he embarked on a journey through almost blizzard like conditions in a Toyota minivan with some companions. They are currently en route.
11:40 PM EST

Update:
The bannermobile is currently in New Jersey and about 6 hours from Elizabeth City, NC. Sounds like they have made it out of the bad weather safely but probably will not arrive in NC until 7am.
1:00AM EST

I just had to bring this thread back to life. Sometimes when I am down I will think of this picture and smile a little knowing that there is some hope out there.
