Ron Paul will soon take to the sky
By: SGT News | Submitted on: 12/07/07SOUTHERN ARIZONA (SGT NEWS) - Enough with research on the Internet, or watching the political debates on television or listening to sound bites on the radio. In just a few days, Ron Paul supporters will give the eastern half of the United States a new way to campaign: from a blimp.
Scheduled to launch on December 15th, the Ron Paul campaign, coordinated through the Liberty Political Advertising company, will launch a large blimp with the words “Who is Ron Paul? Google Ron Paul” written on the side of it.
To keep the blimp afloat during the New Hampshire primaries, the company says, they need to raise a total of $400,000 by December 21st. They already managed to raise $200,000 to fly it during the Tea Party.
A GPS system will send coordinates back to the RonPaulBlimp.com web site, allowing everyone to see exactly where the flying craft is every second of the day.
A graphical mock up of the blimp, along with its lettering, is show below.
