If this becomes a reality, RP's face needs to be plastered on that thing.
I think this a great idea, but I would reconsider the giving rides to orphans thing, as that is such a patently manipulative gesture to play on people's emotions (the equivalent of the old-time politician kissing babies) that it could backfire and detract from the message. If you want to do something for kids, I'd suggest having an essay contest for students on the meaning of freedom or liberty and let the kids with winning entries ride the blimp. That kind of thing I think would fit in better with Dr. Paul's message.
Please may we have a "Unique selling proposition".
I really, really like the "Peace, Prosperity, Freedom" in the images.
Hardly any candidates every say WHY anyone should vote for them.
Let's be different.

If you don't want to start a new PAC, maybe you could get with Lord Xar and use his Americans United for Liberty PAC.
Also, when are you going to get people to actually pay up? If it turns out that you don't get as much as pledged, will you have a penalty to pay to the company?

The blimp company is reserving this until the 30th for us to raise the funds.
Elijah, please mention this fact on the RonPaulBlimp.com website in huge writing, as it will help get pledges in faster. Currently it isn't mentioned on the front page of the site.
