The Blimp Meter

[Storm3]

Several people have requested some sort of progress meter. I personally think ronpaulblimp.com is confusing. We raised $200k, the blimp will fly, but we still need money? It's not so easy to understand why donations are still necessary.

Therefore I suggest a meter that looks something like this:

[font=courier]
                          Deadline:                   Deadline
                           Dec. 7th                    Dec. 21st
 |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|xx>-------------------------|
 |                            |                            |
$0                          $200k                        $400k
                           get off                    to keep afloat
                          the ground               during NH primaries

It's not fantastic, but better than the current page.

The objective is to keep a sense of URGENCY to the donations. We don't really have that now.

Well done. It can be extended every month, too, since the blimp does need to be re-leased every month for as long as we're willing to support it.

I think when all see that big beautiful ginormous girl fly and the attention it gets, the funds will com rolling in

If you can't get a fancy meter, use a yardstick!

Thanks guys, what a great project!

We want to keep the blimp up until Inauguration right?

New Years Day Blimp Money Bomb! Fund it for the whole year.

What it needs is both a money meter and a time countdown because it doesnt matter if we get the money 1 day late...I love that meter by the way...you can put the countdown timer on the left side
