The Grassroots Ron Paul Blimp Thread *T-minus 30 hours*

I have not been a supporter of the blimp and I'm still not but hearing Dr. Paul mentioning it with his infectious smile and laugh really has me thinking.

I was down right angered by some aspects of this project as I know others have been but perhaps I and others who share the same feelings should take this time to consider that this extravagant project seems to give Dr. Paul a good deal of personnel happiness and joy.

Nine years ago when I had my last drink I went through some difficult times and like to think I came out of that experience a better person. I found that I had to put my complete trust in God and to leave judgement of others to him alone. It's not always an easy thing to do but for myself it's something I must do or I risk a return to past transgressions.

So I'd ask others who share my reservations to this project and who might find it difficult to support due to the principles behind it to allow our higher power to take care of the unpleasing aspects of this project and to consider making this a Christmas or Holiday gift to Dr. Paul and all that he has taught us. The other things will be take care of themselves.

You sir, are a man of principal. My dad used to struggle with drinking, and he overcame it through the same process which you describe. I'm humbled by your wisdom.
 
There is a guy in my meetup group, he and his wife are maxed out, members of the 2300 dollar club. You know how they did it, they put it on their credit cards. They are working class with 3 children!!! I was planning on donating 200 for the TeaParty, if I have to put 50 dollars on my credit card to help get the blimp off the ground then I'll do it.

All the cards are about to fall into place. Every candidate it tanking now!! Gouliani and taxpayer funded bodyguards for him and his mistress, Romney and his mormon faith and South American lawn service, Huckabee releasing a RAPIST (so much for compassionate conservative, what about compassion for his rape victims, they BEGGED the man to not release him!!!!), And McCain is about nothing but more WAR and people know it. The TeaParty and The Ron Paul Blimp on the same day. People will see this strength and excitement and get caught up in it. The Media Blitz will be awsome, people will talk about over over the holidays. We are only 75K away. We can make that mark with our spare change!
 
The word about the blimp needs to get out under u tube videos of Ron Paul. Get out there now people. These are Ron Paul supporters that watch the videos over and over but, they don't all come to this site.
 
Unfortunately I'm still battling with cheap whiskey, gambling, and carousing with loose women.

Sigh...
 
I just contributed $25 of OPM (aka credit) to the cause. I have to say that originally I thought it wasn't going to be worthwhile, but after I heard Trevor on the phone with POTUS '08 this AM, and how enamored Scott Walterman was with the idea that there was a completely grassroots effort to get a blimp in the air, I changed my mind. At this point we can't let it fail.

I can understand that sentiment. I haven't known about Ron Paul for that long but you can really tell that for quite some time he was starting to wonder if anybody was going to listen to his message or whether he'd just end up with a few news articles here and there, then petering out during the first primaries and watching yet another leader of big government come in for the next four-eight years. Fast forward a few months and his grassroots campaign has just about gotten up the cash for a BLIMP of all things, that's yet another thing to show him that we're serious about his message and aren't just tagging along because he seems like the flavour of the month.

Actually, I couldn't see myself or anybody else not excited by any group of people that have decided to raise the money for a blimp just because they like my message. My answer: Sure, go ahead and spread my message on a blimp! Go nuts!

Well I had to find something to do today. I live in New Jersey, we just got a snow storm last night and my truck overheated on the way to work, :( so I had to call out of work today. :)
