Just talking to Robert. Looks like it will cost $1,500 for Thursday and he's a supporter, so that is the cost of gas. Seems like the debate/straw poll is a 2 day thing - right? He can do both days for $3,000.

On Thursday he can start at 8pm and fly for an hour.
On Friday he has a commitment so can't be there till 9pm but is also willing to fly for an hour.



Here is the Chipin:

Not sure why - but the chipin seems to have ended early. We still need $785. Here is the new chipin:

Please donate!

I am also collecting slogans to scroll under his wings and will pass those onto him. Keep them fairly short. Watch the vid for an idea of ad space.

thanks,

Why?

What's the point?

What is the objective?

What is being accomplished by this?

I don't want to knock this because I like the idea, but it's a bit disingenuous to assume that gas for a Cessna 172 for two hours of operation would cost $3,000.
 
I believe what Napoleon's Sha... ZanZibar means to say is: Is this a good use of money that is targeting likely Republican Primary voters or could the time/money/effort be better utilized elsewhere?

He doesn't live in Orlando. it's an hour and a half round trip each day to get there and back then an hour of flying each day. That's 5 hours of flight time as well as maintenance costs and he has to replace very expensive halogen bulbs on a regular basis. My saying "gas" was simplistic - he is doing it for cost. He is a supporter.

He also kicks on the Ron Paul messages between jobs, flying from city to city.

No, not hardly.

But seriously, what do you hope to accomplish with this project?

Get Paul's name out there?
Show support
Deliver MESSAGE - like political points to people on the ground.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen a single message people want scrolled under those wings yet.

This thread was a whole lot different the last time I did it. It was like tons of people donating and massive numbers of messages people wanted to see.

What changed?

We need to support people who are doing things like this... We have the group creating the Giant Ron Paul sign and this isn't any different. We have to support each other, and the cost is tiny when everyone chips in.
 
RON PAUL: THE ONE WHO CAN BEAT OBAMA
RON PAUL: RESTORE AMERICA NOW

What research leads you to believe that it will be effective?

Everyone is now focused on effective methods such as phone banking getting involved in their local Republican parties, and going door to door to likely Republican voters.

I don't know still seems pretty high from what other pilots are saying the yearly costs are to maintain and fly their aircraft, even with the equivalent cost of bulbs that are used on the good year blimp included. If the man want's to make money to cover other costs aside from what is needed to fly during these hours I have no problem with that, plenty of people make money through advertising Ron Paul, just don't like the idea of being mislead.

My impression is that that is his operating cost. If you are being mislead - so am I.

I do know that he is a supporter.

That is confirmed.
