"O Say, Can You See?"
A Ron Paul Blimpette Rises Over San Diego

After brief logistical delays, a 20-foot "Ron Paul Micro-Blimp" now floats high above San Diego.

♣ SAN DIEGO, December 24th

It's The Night Before Christmas, and I just received word that San Diego County's own 20-foot long "Ron Paul Micro-Blimp" is now floating serenely in the vicinity of Grossmont College, El Cajon. Elizabeth Blane, the recently persuaded (and already active!) Ron Paul supporter I told you about a few days back (see original story about the micro-blimp here,) told me this:

"YES! It is up! If you drive south on 125, you will see it flying at the Grossmont College offramp."

For those of you who may not be familiar with the San Diego area, this is an excellent high-traffic location (<- click for a map) immediately adjacent to a major freeway.

Elizabeth additionally had this to say:

"Thank you everyone for your generous donations and encouragement! Together we are powerful! Think of how many years Ron Paul stood alone in front of congress and voted his lonely "no" votes again and again and he never gave up! What a man! Let's make him proud!"

This writer is personally encouraged to note that Elizabeth first heard Dr. Paul's powerful message of Freedom less than two months ago. She found the message so clear and compelling that she has responded with immediate and creative action. Many thousands of San Diegans now have some of the exposure to Ron Paul's name that establishment media has so egregiously denied them. As have others, many more will now have the opportunity to see, hear, embrace, and take action for Liberty.

How fitting it is that the message of Ron Paul, a Most Noble candidate for office, is being held aloft by the noble gas helium!

Thanks so much Elizabeth! Thank you, San Diegan Ron Paul supporters, who have already paid in full the cost of this "Blimpette" as well as the cost of the helium to loft it!

For those of you inspired to do something similar in your neighborhood, here are a couple of possible sources of Ron Paul Micro-Blimps:

Also please be mindful of supporting the full-sized and very costly Ron Paul Blimp with your advertising dollars - remember, these expenses are not counted against your FEC campaign expenditure limit of $2300!

Viva la ReVOLution!

As a side-question:

Are these Ron Paul Mini-Blimps buyable?:

Great job guys. I have faith in those guys and think the New Direction that they are going will make us all blimpy inside and really help in spreading the word of RP.

Merry Christmas

We should get a whole fleet for his inaugoration with Ron Paul skydiving in from Blimpforce1 to deliver the smackdown to David Rockefeller (which is bludgeoning him with the constitution).

It would be cool to launch ballons with little pro freedom messages and quotes from the founding fathers. Put ronpaul2008.com on the bottom. release them everywhere and let them land where they may. Put the address you released it from and people can track where they came from.

A couple of these miniblimps, some ropes, a lawn chair and a megaphone and you could be spreading the liberty message in person over the skies of your community!

I love our San Diego meetup! This idea was literally brought up by Elizabeth last week at our regular strategy meeting. Word went out about donations and the $1300 purchase cost plus a few hundred for helium was raised like lightning.

It is tethered, for those that asked.
