At 20% who do, that is still quite a success rate for marketing. =)
A very big thank you to the group of people who are going to make this actually happen. I know it is frustrating when differences of opinion are strongly expressed. But someone has to take the lead to get it done. Remember, the more people involved the more difficult it is to get an agreement. And we have many people on the forums. Thank you again - please do not get discouraged.

It's important to consider the majority in this thing. The majority do have internet. The majority that don't can go to a library or work to look it up. There is a very very small percentage of people in places out in the sticks of Montana or Wyoming that actually don't use or have the internet. While doing my calls for Ron Paul in my precinct, everyone I've talked who are older Republicans in Iowa do have internet. There are a very very small amount that don't who live out in the country. I've been in 1000s of peoples homes in Iowa with door to door sales jobs.

The problem there is that any candidate could put that on their blimp (if they were cool enough to have a blimp) - Kucinich: Peace, prosperity, freedom. Romney: Peace, prosperity, freedom. These are words that no politician would ever be against, and are the same words I've heard in every political campaign ever, and have never seen anyone come through on them. E.g. every time I vote for someone who promises prosperity and freedom, the Fed floods the market with dollars and the government gets bigger while my freedoms diminish.
So, coming from the standpoint of "all politicians are the same" which is where most of the American electorate comes from now, seeing peace prosperity and freedom does nothing to set RP apart from the crowd, because the others could just as easily promise those three things...
Our campaign has to show that RP actually means it.
Agree completely with this statement.

They should stick to the original design everyone saw. That's the image we had in mind when we made our pledges.
To be honest I don't really mind the Who is Ron Paul side, I take issue more with the Ron Paul REVOLution side. The revolution makes us look like radicals and the LOVE makes us look like hippies; I know we're not but everyone is saying we are, so we shouldn't reinforce that image. I think we should replace that or both sides with the Peace-Prosperity-Freedom image, which says far more about Paul, and is far more powerful.
is that toll free grassroots org? it is the only way it could work.
I see how "Ron Paul for President" would be illegal, but how would "Ron Paul 2008" be? It's just a name and a number, how is it campaigning?

Do you guys understand the association who is "Who is Ron Paul?" and Atlas Shrugged? I think this is a very important factor that I don't think a lot of people are getting. Google "Who is John Galt?" before going against this phrase.
Yep, I think this is the main disconnect here. The blimp isn't actually asking who Ron Paul is; it's making a reference to Ayn Rand's book.

Any word on if the graphic on the blimp can be changed at this point or not? It's useless if we keep debating here if it can't be done.
Agreed.

I agree a reference to "President" could be counterproductive for the unreached population. Any political content could backfire for that matter.
How about just this?
RON PAUL
Or
RON PAUL ?
Simple, in huge letters, huge coverage. Any net savvy person unfamiliar with his name will know what to do. They will find his web site quickly.
The computer shy and net ignorant are not likely to start going to the net just because of this, so any ".com" or "google XXX" or web links might actually repel them. They will be greatly motivated to ask someone "who is this guy?". This is the best the blimp can do for them because the campaign's preferred way of communicating: through the web, will not be used. It is hard to get phone numbers and details off the blimp. Even PEACE * PROSPERITY * FREEDOM, would be hard to read except up close. Once this thing is flying in a city there will be press coverage. You can count on it. Those who are not net savvy are usually main stream media consumers so the connection can come there from the local/national news, in case they didn't get an answer from someone by asking. They will be grabbed by the uniqueness and creativity of the blimp idea to want to know more about Ron Paul as the candidate. People like blimps, they are neat. People mostly do not like politicians. This is the best way to get the "foot in the door".
