There is only a limited staff actually doing the work to keep the Blimp flying. It really boils down to five core individuals and a couple of dedicated, but part time, volunteers. Time is a precious commodity and it evaporates very quickly. Answering questions on the forums, updating the website & blog all take time. There are numerous logistical issues and those must be addresses first. The limited staff is doing their best to keep everyone informed while handling the daily operations. Time goes quickly and they are working overtime. There is a limit to what can be done and I think everyone on this small team is giving their best effort. There are several related projects we would like to do but the resources are just not there. The focus is to keep the Blimp flying and get as much exposure as possible for the Ron Paul message.
Several people have volunteered or applied to help the Blimp project. In assembling any team there is a mix of skills needed. There is also the issue of getting the right people... the necessary skills, the proper motivation, the willingness to work for this project with no pay. Then there is the issue of selecting those people. This takes more time which is currently not available as the Blimp Team is doing their utmost to keep the Blimp flying.
It all boils down to the resources available... the short time period to get this project started, the limited financial resources for workers & their expenses, the normal issues with selecting the right team members, the proximity of the early primaries. All of these are factors and the Blimp Team is putting in long hours and making personal and financial sacrifices which are not generally known.
We are doing the best we can with limited resources... and when I say “limited resources” no one who has sponsored the Blimp should be offended. We appreciate the fact that you have made monetary sacrifices for this project. Please keep in mind that most of the sponsorship money has gone to renting the Blimp... there is currently none left for the Blimp Team that is making this all happen.
Remember... the Blimp is in the Air and that's... well, Amazing, Amazing!
