You know what this means

[Oliver]

hey, how much does it cost to make a mini-blimp like they did in San Diego? a 15-foot helium balloon that says Ron Paul For President?

As far I remember, the mini-blimp costs 2000 bucks.
Pretty expensive if they're not produced in mass-production.

But who made them?

 

[kill the banks]

No no - you didn't say it's impossible but many
in here prefer the "anarchy/chaos"-factor of the
Grassroots - which surely was and is helpful on
the Internet.

I would like to see more coordination to be 500%
as effective as the efforts are so far.

By distraction I mean such things like the outrage
about FOX in the last days. That isn't in any way
constructive, as annoying those news might be.

ok , the anarchy could remain ... i'm true to that theme ... however , why not a little bomb for ourselves to make sure all these little projects can be paid for ... for instance , if 2 million was collected all chip ins etc for say NH or any state could be financed easily ... no i don't want central control in grassroots , just think we could pick a day to pay ourselves and pump enough cash into the kitty to get these collective anarchy grassroots projects really successfully done ... so coordination in grassroots i agree with

as for dissent with fox , yes you can go too far and waste time but i support constructive dissent esp fox as it is a neocon propaganda machine of the MIC

If they were cranky old traditionalists they would support the constitution.

They are brainwashed nWo CFR fodder

May be - even if I doubt that many people know
about the CFR or their connections. So the brain-
washed claim doesn't sound factual to me.

true, but still not bad for what is essentially a billboard that can be tethered anywhere. Find out the comparative costs for actual billboard space then we can make a decision as to whether or not pursuing a mass-production of mini-blimps could be viable

Mhmm, what do you think about the combination
of Moneybombs for a grassroots fund - plus payday
for the official campaign?

This way the official campaign would get the money
and the Grassroots were able to decide what the
moneybomb money is being spend for.

Concerning FOX: They're out of business anyway
if they would attack "President Paul" all the time,
and they would shoot into their feet for attacking
him when he gets the nomination. So the best
revenge would be to get Ron the rep's nominee.

Does someone in here know if those Blimp were made by
a company or privately?

1st question fine what you suggest but the occasional big bomb
would still be needed i think oliver to fund campaign ... ron needs
big money i feel and once in a while the moneybomb would put
him in big league area he needs to maintain ... voters equate
money with chance to win

it's not a perfect world oliver and MSM is a problem , bigger
than you may want to believe ... globalist elite are a reality
and i feel you see it as only conspiracy theory sometimes
or you have agenda ... dissent is a right ! and it's bigger
than fox ... if we don't get control of our own money then
there is no independence , just more crime boss rockefeller
types promoting their agenda with unlimited funds

Well, this might be true in America - but people over here
aren't paranoid about any "Neocon Worlddomination". So from
my POV it's save to say that this is an American thingy which
sounds ridiculous to me - even if CFR's and the lobbies
influence are true, which is another problem of the US-system
and a pretty unsurprising side effect of being a superpower.

Anyway: Grassroots made better Ad's than every one I saw
coming from the official campaign. So why not airing them as
well via a Grassroots fund. I really have a hard time to figure
out for what the "big money" is being spend on.

MSNBC just announced that Ron Paul was the winner from
independent voters...

I really don't know but I also dont see where all the cost for producing the mini blimps comes from... I mean all we're talking about is a 15' balloon- how could that cost $2K?

We're talking about this Mini-Blimp here, don't we? :

Another thing I'd like to add are endorsements. I don't
know why Chuck Norris had any impact at all since he's
just an "second tier" actor, but if this is such influential
then it surely wouldn't hurt to have at least similar popular
endorsements as well.

we could easily get endorsements from John Mayer and Willie Nelson with just a little bit of effort.

as i've been saying for a while what we need is JAY Z

edit: and yes, that is the mini-blimp I am talking about.

I have no Idea who John Mayer and Willie Nelson
are - but JAY Z would be great for the younger
people. And for the older ones - Clint Eastwood?

What about:

Bill Cosby
Tom Cruise
Mel Gibson
Billy Graham
Tom Hanks
Hugh Hefner
Rush Limbaugh
George Lucas
Madonna
Dr. Phil
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Donald Trump
Letterman

Any additional ideas concerning the focus of
the Grassroots?

Sure.

* Sign up as a campaign volunteer at ronpaul2008.com. State coordinators get this info and they have some idea who's supporting Dr. Paul in which counties.

* Watch the training videos at ronpaul2008.com.

* Contact your state coordinator and volunteer to be a precinct captain.

* Find out how many republicans voted in your precinct in 2000 (the last time there was a contested republican primary). Use this to gauge how many votes you need to win that precinct.

* Don't waste time complaining about other people's grassroots ideas (i.e. complaining about money bombs and blimps.) If you want too see money spent on magazine ads start a "Magazine ad bomb chipin/website".

* Burn DVDs and pass them out. Leave them at opportune places like laundry mats. Or buy the 25 cent DVDs at http://www.ronpaulreveres.com/dvd.

Lot's of work to do. Little time to do it. One thing else to realize. There was a MASSIVE GOTV in Iowa. There will likely be one in NH too. If we can match that same intensity in "forgotten" states (like Tennessee) we might rattle some cages.

Or one of these guys:

Mel Gibson
Julia Roberts
Johnny Depp
Harrison Ford
Denzel Washington
Clint Eastwood
Sean Connery
George Clooney

clooney is already sold on obama

and Willie Nelson btw is a Country Music legend

Thanks for your additional suggestions. Do you know where to
find statistics about how many people voted in each states in
the last elections - including the 2008 data? From what I heard
there were about 140,000 republicans voting in Iowa. That
doesn't sound that much to me.

What would be the most fitting Celebrity/-'s in your opinion?

 

[Just Come Home]

Moneybombing brought us up from 1-2% in Iowa to 10%.

We'd be stupid to do "less moneybombing."

If anything, we need to show the world our resolve.

Well, how much would it have brought to use $10,000,000 in
full page ads all over the nation?

The point is that Ron has to be treated as a frontrunner. We
all saw what happened to Huckabee once the Media treated
him this way.

And he didn't have ANY MONEYBOMB-SUCCESS! Now that
should be a wake-up call about moneybombs, shouldn't it?
