"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." -- Howard Zinn
Just because some people are skeptical doesn't mean they are operatives from other camps, or are not meaning to contribute. I have questions about this just like many others do, and I want to make sure my donation is wisely handled...
These are credible concerns
I think these are valid questions. Also, the new website design and the method of fundraising for the blimp is so radically different that it is confusing. I pledged $100 prior to the redesign. I see now that $100 gets only 4 minutes on the blimp. That is a bit...

Update website
Elijah, please mention this fact on the RonPaulBlimp.com website in huge writing, as it will help get pledges in faster. Currently it isn't mentioned on the front page of the site.
Congrats to all involved

This is a new commercial I made for the Ron Paul presidential campaign. The commercial was designed to be positive, simple and to evoke the hopes and dreams of the American public at large. The background music is Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man", which was written as a tribute to...

I could make it half a minute if I took out most of the Jefferson quotes, and just focused on the "medicine" theme. I don't think it could air on TV though because of the song...
Here is the email I sent him at [email protected]:
The way to convince him is not by opposing his viewpoints... You have to bolster his viewpoints in a way that shows Ron Paul is the right person for the job.
I just made my first Ron Paul video on YouTube (link below). It's based on the Ron Paul mosaic from the Ames ad. Please comment on it, rate it and let me know what you think!
