Priceless -THE BLIMP REACTIONS!!

[constitutional]

EVERYONE who I talk to here in Harford County, MD said they saw the blimp! Even my parents said they saw it twice during the day!

And when I was on a bus and suddenly I heard all the people go "BLIMP! BLIMP! OMG!!!" The reactions were priceless!

The blimp went right over where I live too!

HAHA, DONATE DONATE! YES, I'm EXCITED.

I wasn't ready the first time to take pictures, hopefully it passes by!

I am sure they are now.

[PimpBlimp]

What happens if they don't get all the money needed by tomorrow. Will it be grounded permanently?

[quezkittel]

yeah, I must have missed it, but am planning on being around to catch it returning to the airport for the night :) Maybe I'll even be crazy enough to pull a storm-chaser-like car chase. It feels like a holiday, knowing that the Ron Paul blimp is hovering around my hometown today!

[Ethek]

We so have to get this thing to NH... It would be demoralizing to all the other campaigns. We just get to sweep up the supporters.

The Ron Paul Blimp, With Over 300 Media Cites, Flies On
Wednesday, December 19, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com

NEWS ANALYSIS/OPINION

For this week, anyway, the Ron Paul blimp project stays aloft – weather permitting – and apparently heads toward Virginia. Weather has, in fact, as some had predicted, played havoc with the schedule. But the blimp and its launch, when coupled with the recent Ron Paul mass donation day (see related articles), has seemingly generated powerful publicity for the limited government campaign of presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex).

Google the words “Ron Paul blimp,” restrict the search to just those words and at least 300 cites should come up on the page. Some may be repetitive, but, no matter, the blimp is generating necessary publicity, as did the record-breaking mass donation day.

It is worth noting here, again, as FMNN has before, that the modest, freedom-entrepreneur Trevor Lyman played a part in both these ventures. He is not alone in his involvement, of course. Others such as Jesse Elder and Eric Nordstrom over at RonPaulMoneyBomb.com are seminal free-market “market” visionaries in their own right. And, of course, with other campaigns, such ventures would not have gotten very far. It is the mass of Ron Paul freedom-loving supporters that provides the "human action."

Aren't all who believe in freedom enriched by freedom’s successes? Surely, there is “room at the top” for creative individuals of all sorts, and competition does not restrict opportunity but expands it. That is a lesson that Ron Paul supporters, among others, have likely, and luckily, internalized.

[Bilgefisher]

This is great advertising. At the very least we get people saying...wait who is Ron Paul? Thats a good start. His philosophies do the rest.

[10thAmendmentMan]

Where are the YouTube'd blimp reaction videos? I'm not seeing any reaction videos a la "2 girls 1 cup" (if you don't know what that is DO NOT look it up -- I'm serious).

[Maximilian American]

Just Donated!

[voytechs]

I'm donating again. We can't let this fail. It took so much to get this thing off the group. Come on guys, now that we have all the hard work behind us, we have to get this thing funded.

For the future we know what to avoid, mistakes will be made, central planning doesn't work and all that. But come on, the bad weather had a lot to do with too and the crazy schedule. From now on things should fly much smoother.

[Maximilian American]

BLIMP! Help by Donating before the deadline tomorrow~!

[Bilgefisher]

[BeFranklin]

If that is the reactions, it makes sense to keep the blimp in the air.

Remember, what has already been donated is sunk costs; we've already paid 3/4s of the total.

Agreed, especially when you can tell folks grassroots efforts, not his campaign put the blimp in the air.

[Paul.Bearer.of.Injustice]

its been in SC. Maryland I think is winnable for the nomination and its headed towards NH tomorrow.

[dsentell]

[FreeTraveler]

It's cool that the blimp is flying everywhere except the early states

Well, it's been to SC, and it's on the way to NH. There's only two ways to get there... over non-early states, or over the friggin OCEAN where NOBODY would see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord Xar]

Are they gonna hit the "first primary states" like Iowa, NH, and S.C. ????

I read some previous posts.. I see it went to S.C -- not much info from that, as compared to now... any hoopla in S.C, when it flew over there?

[Coola]

I live in Glen Burnie and I just realized it was up in Harford somewhere. Sadly I missed it but I felt the blimp visited me in my dreams. :(

[Bilgefisher]

Well, it's been to SC, and it's on the way to NH. There's only two ways to get there... over non-early states, or over the friggin OCEAN where NOBODY would see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody will see it if its grounded as well. Blimp needs 100k.

I hope so... because I'm serious when I say this... people act like they've never seen a blimp.

The logo does needs to be little bigger (I can read it).... Other than that, looks great.

[Peppy690]

Right now the blimp is over Lutherville, doing a tight circle. I have a fellow ron paul supporter at York Rd. He says that traffic is almost stopped looking at the blimp! Lets keep it in the air folks.

My guy on the ground up in Maryland says he got a great picture of the blimp and will email it to me later tonight, I'll post it when i get it. He was driving at the time, not sure if he got everyone's reactions. I told him to try to get a picture of the reaction of the crowds, not sure if that was possible for him or not.

And before anyone asks, no youtube. ;)

[expatinireland]

The blimp for better or worse is tied to the Ron Paul campaign and is symbolic of the grassroots. If it fails early on for lack of funds the Old Media will have a field day creating doubts in the minds of the kind of potential supporters who only come on board if they believe a candidate has a chance of winning.

We must keep the blimp up through at least the early primaries. Bad luck with the weather prevented a big media boost on the 16th so we need to get the blimp up to NH for a decent stay so that it can prove its worth. When the blimp is retired it needs to be seen as happening on our terms.

I gave a bit more.

[work2win]

I was a little frustrated with some of the initial decisions, but it now has both banners and is charging full steam ahead. I've been reading about news coverage and positive reactions from people on the ground all morning.

We need to keep this thing up! I donated again this morning.

[seapilot]

It says on the blog they are flying around reporters and are getting ready to take up another group around Maryland. Expect some news about it tommorow. I pitched in $25 more and here in Alaska wont get to see it! Folks on the EastCoast need to post more photos!

I was outside sign waving (by myself, hehe) in Parkville, MD holding a "Google Ron Paul" homemade sign. I don't know if there's a meetup group that's been working in the Parkville/Towson area, but there are a LOT of supporters!

Also, my favorite car that pulled up (was at an intersection) was a guy who rolled down his window and asked, "Didn't I see a blimp with that guy's name on it earlier?! Who is he?" I gave him a slim-jim and told him a little about him, and then as I look up I see the blimp no more than a mile away from us, so I point to it. The guy's reaction was priceless! He said "I guess he's not a longshot anymore, huh?" as he drove away.

What a great day of sign waving. I saw the blimp at least 3 separate times, and got about 100 honks, handed out 50 slim-jims, and got 2 evil looks. Not bad, not bad at all.

The Ron Paul Blimp, With Over 300 Media Cites, Flies On
Wednesday, December 19, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com

NEWS ANALYSIS/OPINION

For this week, anyway, the Ron Paul blimp project stays aloft – weather permitting – and apparently heads toward Virginia. Weather has, in fact, as some had predicted, played havoc with the schedule.

I was one of the blimp skeptics. I also raised the issue of harsh New England weather.

But now, you got me.

I just donated $100. I hope you Blimpers are happy now. But we have to stick together. My regret is that I'm not maxxed out and that we have only raised $29,073 for the official campaign today. And yet, we're at $18M for the quarter so far and Dr. Paul only expected $15M-$16M in his wildest dreams.

So I ignored my own warnings about others donating to the blimp when they weren't maxxed out yet. I just hope this will have the impact on public opinion and raising more support for us that many of you believe.

And yet, somehow, the blimp is a symbol of hope. Hope For America. It is an appealing, cheerful and hopeful symbol for us. So I'm okay with it. And I think Dr. Paul is too even if I'm not maxxed out.

I urge the other blimp skeptics to set aside our previous objections and donate now. Sometimes, unity is more important than who is right and who is wrong.

Let's fly that blimp!

Great to here. I used to live up there. Wish I could have seen it. I can picture it circling over Towson now.

[drexhex]

That is awesome!

Can you give us an idea of the % of traffic that honked?

If I count waves, honks, smiles, and nods of the head, I'd say roughly 10%. I also saw another 20-30 people mouth the words "Google Ron Paul" and smiled. One guy even had a iPhone and was looking him up at the light =D

Overall, about 40% acknowledged me and 10-15% showed a sign of approval.

[Rex]

keep up the great work!

[enjerth]

Ron Paul can spend a million $ on advertising and not get the kind of name recognition this will put out. If what you guys are saying is true, this is the best money spent yet on ANY campaign.

I'd love to see the blimp here some time in Grand Island, NE, but I know that's totally unreasonable to expect.

[disciple]

The blimp is our flag, don't take it down.

[quezkittel]

I saw the blimp fly over tiny wheel road on the way back home today! The amazing bit was that since it was flying low and the words were really visible, this line of traffic on the road slowed down to about ten miles an hour as everybody looked above :) The words Ron Paul were clearly visible, too!

As a side note, my dad saw it too and called me saying that it was great, as did a friend who didn't know the blimp was coming but knew I supported Ron Paul. I think I'm gonna hit up the mall with slim jims tomorrow to hit people while they're still thinking about the blimp. :)

We need some kind of blimp money bomb organized today. Otherwise this is not happening. And I think it's the organizers who need to do it, and also give as much information as they can. The communication has sucked.

I love the blimp and don't want to see it die. The reactions sound so cool.

[NerveShocker]

People get confused when you call it a money bomb. Really we just need to do what we did last time their was a deadline closing fast for the blimp project. That of course was raise lots of money for it fast. We did it before and likely will be able to pull it off again. People just need to know how much this blimp has helped us already (especially with local media of the areas the blimp passes through) and they also need to know our deadline is coming fast. The goal is to get to 400,000$ by tomorrow (Midnight probably like last time) but its possible this isn't a deadline and is more of a goal, though I am not certain. Either way we should rally behind the blimp quickly and then we can easily gather the funds we need. The blimp is headed to New York in a day or so and today was in Baltimore. All of these things are getting massive attention at the local level, so let's get it to as many populated areas as possible.

I'm broke. I may be hungry for a few extra days beyond what I'd anticipated after TeaParty07. But I'm not as broke or as hungry as I'll be if we fail to help Ron Paul win back our country.

*chanting* Blimpbomb... blimpbomb... blimpbomb

Ya'll need to find out how to do a mass mailing to any meetup group with Ron Paul in the title. Maybe someone from MeetUp would give a grassroots organizer that privilege.

[firebirdnation]

Meetup has that new meetup alliance which is supposed to allow all the meetups with the same interestes to coordinate with each other. Perhaps that would be a good place to start?

Save the Blimp!!! Do your budget and see what you can come up with!

Courage and Faith are important but WE must work for it.

Blimp Bump

[Benaiah]

Wow. I just read all 13 pages of this thread. I like reading about the reactions from people.

Now that I think about it, everyone does always stop and look at blimps. Everyone loves blimps.

[pacelli]

I saw the blimp too in baltimore county near towson.

Awesome, and, welcome to the Ron Paul Forums :)

[pacelli]

For the blimpbomb- here's the total donations for the blimp. We need to make that little line hit 400k. Considering what we're used to doing, we're close :)

EVERYONE who I talk to here in Harford County, MD said they saw the blimp! Even my parents said they saw it twice during the day!

And when I was on a bus and suddenly I heard all the people go "BLIMP! BLIMP! OMG!!!" The reactions were priceless!

The blimp went right over where I live too!

HAHA, DONATE DONATE! YES, I'm EXCITED.

I wasn't ready the first time to take pictures, hopefully it passes by!

AMAZING!

blimp for the bump

[Libertad2008]

If you've already maxed out for the official campaign, PLEASE donate to the blimp. A number of people I've talked to were quite impressed that the grassroots pulled this off, and if it fails, the MSM will try to make a laughing stock out of it/us.

[Lacrosseus]

People get confused when you call it a money bomb. Really we just need to do what we did last time their was a deadline closing fast for the blimp project. That of course was raise lots of money for it fast. We did it before and likely will be able to pull it off again. People just need to know how much this blimp has helped us already (especially with local media of the areas the blimp passes through) and they also need to know our deadline is coming fast. The goal is to get to 400,000$ by tomorrow (Midnight probably like last time) but its possible this isn't a deadline and is more of a goal, though I am not certain. Either way we should rally behind the blimp quickly and then we can easily gather the funds we need. The blimp is headed to New York in a day or so and today was in Baltimore. All of these things are getting massive attention at the local level, so let's get it to as many populated areas as possible.

It will be interesting to see if the rules change yet again... if they are unable to receive the 400K by tonight, will the deadline change as it has in the past?

[kaleidoscope eyes]

Morning Blimp Bump!

[NerveShocker]

Yeah as I thought it was a goal. This is smart to do though because it's the only way to meet deadlines. Set goals that get people paying attention to it before it's too late. The blimp is getting great reactions from everyone who sees it and hopefully more and more coverage. Look at this comment I found at the Ron Paul Blimp blogs that shows how it's helping a great deal with name recognition and also just amazing those who see it.

"Don't feel too bad, I'd never heard of him either until I saw the blimp today. Joe only got a picture of one side of the blimp, but, interestingly enough,the other side says: "Who is Ron Paul? Google Ron Paul." So they're expecting a lot of people not to know!

I saw the blimp first from the north end and then again about a half hour later nearer the south end of Salisbury. My 3 y/o was thrilled to be able to see it!"

The donations are slowing back down guys! We need to make this our focus at least until they hit the 400,000$. Just because they gave us a an extension doesn't mean we don't need the funds asap!

Bump the Blimp and Donate today

[NerveShocker]

Bump for the blimp! We have to keep at least a good amount of attention on this. The blimp has been a huge success and will do better with a little luck in weather improvements. I can tell you now if they blimp goes down it will be all over the media 10x more than it went up. They have a way of talking about some things more than others. We are repeatedly making history.. first with Nov 5th, then with the blimp, and then again on the teaparty. The media cannot ignore us when we break records and do things never before done in history. We are doing exactly what needs to be done to force them to take us seriously.

I was at a Ron Paul sign wave in Portsmouth, NH yesterday (it was our welcome for Hillary's campaign stop), and a woman came up to me and told me she just received a call from her mother down south about seeing the blimp. It just spreads like wildfire.

[tsetsefly]

look at these comments from a blog that covered the blimp:

Pardon me for being a "maroon" but who is Ron Paul?

At 6:44 PM , Blogger joealbero said...

OK, here's something I thought I'd NEVER say. You're a moron. LOL!

At 7:51 PM , Blogger WatchfulEye said...

He's a Republican Presidential Candidate. Sneaking up there on some of the others in Iowa. Conservative-Libertarian

At 7:56 PM , Blogger blutojthetotmom said...

I TOTALLY opened myself up to that one LOL.So,I Googled him and now I know-shows you how much attention I pay to politics.

At 7:58 PM , Blogger joealbero said...

Once a moron, always a moron. LOL, just kidding, you know that. By the way, If you were a moroon, (like you stated) you'd have to change the colors on your profile photo. LOL

Are people just liking the blimp or are they actually saying, "Hmm, I'll have a look at who this Ron Paul is..."?

[jorlowitz]

I was surprised by how small the banners looked relative to the size of the blimp. Could you actually read the text from the ground? (Could others, who didn't know what the blimp already said?)

[NerveShocker]

I guess you haven't seen any of the pictures..? You can see them easily.. The blimp is one of the largest in the world so even if the banners didn't cover the entire thing they are enormous. There are pictures all over the web that you could find easily instead of asking us.. But I'll give you the link that can lead you to the pictures. http://www.ronpaulblimp.com/Sightings.php The banners are quite big actually relative to the blimp. ;/
