We are going to need to start making pro-blimp propaganda.
T-shirts
"Pro-Blimp and proud of it"
"I survived Forum v. Blimp".
"No such thing as 'Blimpgate'"
For the stoners...
"Let's get high and spread the message"
"Look Ma! I'm high!" on the back: "No really, I'm 2000 feet up and really hungry and this thing doesn't even have Doritos"
For the lazy
"Please send youtube link of blimp"
For the perverted
"My candidate's dirigible is larger than yours"
"Let me show you my dirigible"
"My dirigible needs to be refueled, do you accept google-checkout?"

Reasons to support the blimp from previous posts.
"I think the blimp will have a huge impact. I live in Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes and 10 times as many liberal socialist wingnuts and Paul Welstone had a green bus and that is all the media focused on. Following the freeking bus. The green bus was here, the green bus was there. They reported on the bus all the time. If the blimp makes a splash at the teaparty, it could be big news and any town it is in, the local news/papers will cover it because they are not directed by the msm. We definetly should start a website start a website if this gets off the ground to track the blimp. Kinda like where's george? We could have a comments section for people to enter when and where they saw the blimp."
"Blimps are hot. They have marquee names, make appearances, draw crowds. People scramble to get close to them, to touch them, to scrawl graffiti on them with lipsticks and felt-tip pens. It's true not just of Goodyear blimps but of a crowd of others as well, floating over everything from the Kentucky Derby to a frog-jumping contest."
"Blimps are showing up as trendy props in TV advertising, too. An actor bungee-jumps from one and scoops up a dab of salsa; a quarterback phones two blimp pilots flying over the stadium, to see if he left his truck lights on; a sweepstakes team arrives at a winner's front door with the big check while a blimp hangs in the sky."
"Blimps bestow a certain cachet on the events they cover and on the companies they represent," says Michael Bolton, a blimp marketing man. "They make everything seem more important and more exciting by their very presence." A Goodyear pilot adds, "You've heard the saying that blimps make people smile and dogs bark. It's true. We're ambassadors of goodwill."
"The value of those fleeting looks, calculated at TV's extraordinary advertising rates, is what keeps blimps in the air there days - even over domed stadiums. If Goodyear gets 45 to 90 seconds of national TV exposure during a World Series game or the Super Bowl, it's worth millions. These rewards are more than enough to justify the cost of maintaining three big blimps."
"The media will jump all over this BIG TIME. It's just too good of a story to pass up!
New supporters will be drawn to the excitement of a grassroots campaign that supports their man with a blimp!"
Make no small plans for they do not excite men nor womens souls.
By using a blimp we will energize and maximize our base of support. We need to inspire our donors and inspire our volunteers to achieve great things.

The Blimp is Brilliant!!! Hail the Blimp!!! 
I may be a forum newbie, but:
The Ron Paul Blimp is totally brilliant! And making a private advertising company to do it is even more totally brilliant!
First, it allows the Blimp project to put in place the kind of hard-core full-time infrastructure it needs to get maximum value - not people trying to run a huge project on stolen moments at their work, people for whom running the Ron Paul Blimp IS their work. That's cool.
And second, making a private company in one superhuman bound of incredible internet initiative has sidestepped all the evil barriers that the powers-that-be have put in place to keep us from spending as much money as we can raise on getting our message out. Unlimited donations! Do you realize what that means? One click from one software mogul or well-off businessman and this is now a whole new game!
Feel fear, Mitt Romney! Feel fear, Rudy Giuliani! You may be rich as politicians go, but there are people out there who are far richer and who've about had it with you and your creepy NeoCon thugs decimating our party, plundering our nation, and devastating our image in the world. And now we have a vehicle with which to finally let you have it - no $2,300 limit, not $5,000 PAC BS, no limit whatsoever. Capitalism is at the door and it's got an angry look on its face. This is going to be SO MUCH FUN!
Go Elijah! Go Blimp Team! Go Ron Paul!
AND GO BLIMP!!!

Blimp
a lot of concerns discussed yesterday have been addressed.
including my concern about the strange pricing.
that's not exactly "showing support" right now, but considering what I said yesterday it's quite positive, so don't start a fight again
there's a mistake in the pricing scheme though. one of you might want to contact them as I can't find contact info of the webmaster and don't have the time to look any further right now:
$25,000 for 52 hrs.
that's got to be 45 hours, not 52, to be in accordance with the other options.

I am wondering where all the Blimp Videos are at.
It seems like there should be a lot more on YouTube...but only a hand full.
I would make some ....but I am not skilled in the area.
More Blimp pr0n please!!!!
Edit:
I am going to go tomorrow! Think about how much money we could all raise if we did this once or twice a week...besides all the people we would be helping!!! We can raise as much as we like and not have to worry about limits!!! WOOT!

After the 12th i'll be setting up a site dedicated to this. And tracking how much people donate and how much money we raise. As well as coordinating media attention for it and mass donation days. This will help some of us fund projects in the next quarter.
