Ron Paul Blimp Flight Plan Released


This most visible PR stunt in the presidential campaign will begin this weekend.

The agenda for the Ron Paul Blimp is now available at http://www.ronpaulblimp.com/FlightPlan.php.

It will spend the majority of its operations in New Hampshire for the first month.  Before New Hampshire, it has flights scheduled for D.C., New York and Boston.

Dec. 7, there will be a pre-launch ceremony in Elizabeth City, NC. 

Dec. 10, it will fly over Washinton D.C.

Dec.  12, it will make a flyover of Wall Street, in New York.

Dec. 14, it will arrive in Boston in time for the Tea Party moneybomb, which takes place Dec. 16.

From Dec. 18 on, it will be in New Hamshire.

Throughout the schedule, there will be many opportunities for pre-launch rallies.

New Hampshire is where the Paul campaign D-Day will take place, on Jan. 8.  If you've ever seen old photographs of the Normandy invasion, there were many blimps in the sky.  For this D-Day, there won't be ships on the sea coming over the horizon, but one blimp in the sky.  And thousands of Paul supporters on the ground.

I didn't notice South Carolina on the itinerary. I would think it would be a natural for visits since its primary happens so soon after New Hampshire's.

Why can't they fly the blimp all over the country? Or, if that isn't possible, employ multiple Ron Paul blimps for every region of the nation? They should dock the blimp at whatever the closest air force base is, and fly this baby for the whole nation to see.

Everyone make a donation . I did yesterday. This is a wonderful idea . If we want more blimps flying more places, let's  give more money.

Now is the time to act- my fellow patriots!! 

Dig into your wallet and get your boots on the ground.

We have to work and sacrifice for our liberty.

We could fly them all over the country. Perhaps some creative supporter will design a small blimp - from three to twelve feet long. We then head to the party store for helium. Then we stake them in our front yard and take them to rallies and the mall.

Don't be so sure there won't be ships... We have 19 miles of coastline in the state - ships will probably be there as well. :O)
