Flying over cornfields..
 
Geez, dude are you going to attack everything you see? They have a destination.. they aren't going to dodge around cornfields.. Can't you give them a break? It's almost like you think they are attempting to go to unpopulated areas... based on 3 pictures of which only 1 is actually corn fields.. the others are just trees...

Hey I checked the blimp site and haven't seen any media reports on it today, except for an article out of Amherst talking about the sewing of the second banner. Anybody see anything locally?

The contract was for 1 month. We never paid for the full contract, so they have the right to terminate the contract. The owner is a Ron Paul supporter, so he is giving us some slack, but we are still doing business under a 1 month contract.

So you really aren't buying time and that is just a lie to get money from people? If you donate now and they don't get the 70,000 you won't get the time you purchased? What a joke. They need to give a detailed list of the money they took in and the minutes that money corresponded to.

The time purchase was a way to bypass the FEC Election Laws. But the point is, we need a minimum $400,000 to get 1 month of airtime. Your time purchases go towards that 1 month. But technically we cannot fly until we pay for that full month according to the contract. We're lucky the blimp owner is even letting us fly right now without the $400,000.

Put a BIG SIGN in front of the blimp when it lands in Jacksonville tomorrow: BLIMP RIDES JACKSONVILLE-ORLANDO $5,000 each. Problem solved.:cool:
 
lol.. They probably would put media members on first anyways. I don't think they are going to be landing that much anyways, mostly hovering so all can see.

Plus, I doubt someone would pay $5,000 to ride on a blimp unless they're a rich Ron Paul supporter :P
 
It's no longer the grassroots' responsibility to secure funds for the blimp. That responsibility belongs to the company now.

P.S. I do support the blimp, but I find it strange that they still rely so much on the grassroots.

What are you talking about? The Blimp was entirely created by the grassroots. The grassroots are the people who HIRED Trevor/Elijah's company. It is 100% our responsibility.

Please explain. As I recall, the Blimp idea was formed on these forums. Elijah and Trevor formed a company to help get the idea rolling and to bypass the FEC laws and we the grassroots "hired" them in that sense to rent a blimp for us.
 
If you happen to be a part of the grassroots, and you support the blimp.. then you should support the blimp. That's what I'm doing right now. Of course the company should find people to fund them on their own.. but we are their main customers, as the blimp idea originated here.

The blimp was a grassroots idea. It is no longer grassroots. The decisions are made by a couple people on top of the company that do not care what the grassroots think. They just want their money.

NerveShocker described it pretty good in #58. You're a customer of the advertising company. The business profile of this company was explained in numerous threads and there's no need to repeat it. Check the Blimp section - the answers should be there... somewhere.
