Blimp donations are spiking

[fletcher]

Trevor Lyman is well within his legal rights to email those that signed up for his email list with just about anything (exceptions are obscenities, etc), as long as he allows them to unsubscribe, which he does.

And btw, the blimp was a side note in the email.

It is unethical and disgusting, and possibly violates Google's TOS. So how much are you getting paid to pimp the blimp? You seem to be one of those people that joined only to promote the blimp.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Trevor starting pimping Viagra to the email list.

You think Trevor could get us a discount on Viagra?

You know, the campaign does have a doctor on staff who can write script.

I didn't make any comments on the blimp until the profits became known, so your assertion is a lie. There is no need to look for something to complain about when you are getting hit in the face with it every day. The grassroots email lists are not his to do as he wishes.

You honestly think they are going to make money?

A company whose sole purpose is to act as a middle man between a blimp advertising company and Ron Paul supporters is going to make money? They have their costs online for crying out loud. They even have a youtube video of their bank statements.

The ONLY way this thing would make money is via downright fraud. I really, really don't think there is downright fraud going on. In fact, if someone other than Trevor and Elijah were doing this then I would probably have a bigger suspicion that that were the case.

Disgusting, disgraceful, highly unethical, and possibly illegal.

Then file charges. Participate in the collectivist state. Join the pirates.

A mailing list is the most important thing you can be focusing on right now? Watch the video. It will blow you mind.

He is already in the middle of deals with XM (while the 'grassroot' blimp site was down)

No they submitted their emails for the Nov 5th, RudysReadin, and TeaParty07, not for profit sites, not the blimp for profit site.

To all the haters... Trevor and Elijah have done everything they can to make this whole process as transparent as possible. They posted all of their finances online. They made videos explaining everything. They conceded to all the trolls in this forums and slashed salaries. They didn't have to do any of this. They only did because they want Ron Paul to succeed and the blimp to fly. I don't know of anyone else who has done more to promote Ron Paul than those two. We should all be thanking them for their hard work.

Yes I joined to promote the blimp, because I thought it was a fucking great idea.

See, I remember a few years back sitting in marketing class (I majored in finance and real estate but it was a requirement) and the professor asked what the most effective advertising medium was (I forget what the definition for "effective" was but w/e); and after people saying "TV", "radio", etc he said "Blimps and airplanes". Then someone asked why they aren't used more often (and he had an answer which for brevity I'll exclude from here, combination of a few factors).

I am not getting paid by the LLC to "pimp the blimp" (and your suggestion of that only makes stronger my opinion of you as seeing conspiracies everywhere). I laugh at the thought that with their meager funds they could even afford my services (because Lord knows I'm not working for $500/week).

See, this marketing class took place at Wharton; it's this little known business school that despite it's lack of name recognition (sarcasm) manages to educate the likes of Warren Buffet and Donald Trump and consistently be ranked number 1. (I came across Ron Paul thanks to his views on the economy)

Don't believe me, feel free to PM me at [email protected]...I'll be sure to reply with a "Donate to the blimp you stupid conspiracy theorist"

Personal attacks on forum members are not allowed. Please keep it civil.

Thanks.

I agree. Well said. My initial hesitations about this project were cleared up days ago. This project is so transparent that I don't see what everyone is getting all whipped up about. I thank Trevor and Elijah for their hard work.

Just donated $25. We're very close.

LOL. Ok, so what conspiracy theories do you think I believe? I asked if you were paid to pimp the blimp. That's not a conspiracy theory, it is a real question. It turns out you pimp it for free. What other conspiracy theories were there? Believing that using a grassroots email address for your personal business is unethical is a conspiracy theory to you? I guess at Wheaton they never taught you what conspiracy theory actually means.

 

[1000-points-of-fright]

I hate being a Ron Paul supporter. We're a bunch of whiny bitches. There I said it.

 

[InRonWeTrust]

Just ignore the haters.

End of story.

 

[LeonardK]

Another point in agreement with putting the blimp message in the tea party email. It's real news of interest to most subscribers.

I suppose it's a point of view issue, but from what I see, $500/week is a pitiful stipend for the full-time effort that the guys will be putting in ,and I hardly call that 'for-profit'. Go blimp guys. Just fly it to Michigan when you're done!

 

[torchbearer]

I thought this blimp benefited all of us? Does it not? The only people it doesn't benefit from are the people in power and the dead-enders that support them. How many dead-enders are on this forum trying to derail the project?
It benefits everyone but them... remember that when they post hate,fear, and doubt.... It isn't because they are really "concerned citizens"

There is an easy way to elimate trolls. Your personal "ban" button is an ignore feature on this forum. If you need help using it. PM me.

Excuse me? You can speak for yourself but not all Ron Paul supporters. I am not a "whiny bitch" as you put it. You should really consider what you type before you send it. Just because people have disagreements and some don't know how to settle it respectfully doesn't mean all Ron Paul supporters are "whiny bitches". I really wonder what kind of Ron Paul supporter would say that kind of thing about so many people. I agree that some people seem to just want to cause trouble, but I also know not everyone who has an account here is here for honest reasons. It's best to deal with people like that by ignoring them, but generalizing all Ron Paul supporters in such an ugly way as you did is unacceptable.

Those aren't ron paul supporters. We didn't get any whiny bitches here until after the Nov5th explosion... then trolls moved in by the dozens. Just ask yourself when you read a post... what are they trying to sell?

Quit repeating yourself. Youve said this 5 times in one thread already. Besides, alex PWNED you pages ago.
