North Carolina Politics and Historical Events
Politicians love to have their picture taken during historical events and they get really upset when you don’t invite them, especially when mainstream media cameras are there! Even if they don’t show up, they like to say they were asked to attend. This is the first time in U.S. political history that a blimp had ever been used. I am sure that the Guinness Book of World Records has been contacted to insure this event meets all their documentation requirements. These North Carolina politicians are going to be really pissed-off if their not invited!!!
I would suggest local public figures be invited to the launch for political purposes. A photograph should be taken of them in front of the Ron Paul Blimp with Trevor Lyman, Elijah Lynn, the blimp Captain, and a few other key members on this project. The lettering on the blimp should be clearly visible in the photograph. Otherwise their going to get really upset down the road. The blimp media team may already be aware of this... I sure hope so. If not, there will be hell to pay.
We don’t want to isolate ourselves going forward by being politically inconsiderate. A simple email or phone contact inviting them to this historic photo opportunity would be very, very wise. Once their contacted, a note detailing when the contact was made would be placed in a folder for future reference. This will serve as proof that they had been contacted for this first ever historic event. Since this is a political campaign, all bases need to be covered.
If I was Mayor Steve Atkinson and woke up tomorrow morning knowing I missed the North Carolina "First in Flight" launch of the first ever presidential campaign blimp in U.S. history, heads are going to ROLL!
Here is the short list of key local political figures I came up with. If you can think of anyone to add or suggestions, please post on this thread. We need to win North Carolina!

An interesting historic fact that may tie in well with our Boston Harbor Tea Party 07.
The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. Ron Paul became a Republican Congressman in 1976, two hundred years later! Interesting little factoid.

Sorry for the extra thread, but I needed to make some noise! This is very, very important!
