Thank You Grassroots: $10,000 To Go For The Blimp
I just wanted to say a big thank you to the grassroots. Not just the people that donated, but also those that pointed out the flaws and got them changed. We are our own worst critic, and I think things should stay that way.
As of this writing we are a mere $10,000 from hitting the $200,000 by-end-of-Friday goal. After that, we'll need the additional $150,000 (to hit $350,000 for the month) a few weeks later.
The media are already fawning over the blimp and the variety of precidents that it sets. Thank you grassroots... its every day people that made this happen... and it's somehow comforting to know that there are enough freedom lovign people in the US left that a crazy idea like this, even when everyone doesnt agree, can still get off the ground.
You should all feel proud.

Is Air Force Ron the official name? I hope not....
Someone suggested Freedom One, and that's way better.

Seriously, read this thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=45057&page=6
So many good reasons to go with Freedom One (for example: sounds like Freedom Won).

If the company is trying to be an unbiased company, what could (cough, cough) sell advertising space to other political candidates, the name Air Force Ron would be a no-no. Freedom One however would fit in perfectly with the Liberty name of the company.
Also, Freedom One (Freedom Won) would be a nice lead-in to Freedom Two (Freedom Too) should there ever be an east-coast sister ship

What about "Homeland One?"
Mr.Chertoff and his cronies would love to have a blimp to spy upon us all! And named so approriatley, kind of like the PATRIOT ACT!

When I saw everyone freaking out on here, I didn't even sweat it.
I couldn't donate because of our billboard fund in St. Louis and the 16th, but I knew it would happen.
I mean come on, we're digging people outta the wood-work!

So let's say we hit 200,000 sometime Saturday... is it a big deal that we are one day late??
EDIT:
Oh my god... I thought today was Saturday. I'm sitting in my office, at work, and I somehow thought it was Saturday today... wtf.... we'll definitively hit it on time!

All that I want from the blimp is just one day, just one, where the blimp tails Rudy everywhere he goes. Every time he sets foot outside, the blimp will be there waiting and watching. I want to see Rudy running down the street with the blimp right on his ass. Maybe attach speakers and blast, "Ride of the Valkyeries" for maximum effect.
