The Peace Blimp
Imagine...a "Peace Blimp" - defiantly displaying a message of peace across the skies of the nation, unable to be dismissed, ignored or brushed aside. Rallies for peace greet the blimp in every city it visits.
Politicians, celebrities, movie stars, athletes, war veterans and peace activists make the call to bring our troops home by boarding the blimp for a ride. Crowds flock to the events and are educated about the war. With each stop along the tour the momentum for peace grows from a dull roar into an undeniable fervor until the seemingly endless wars come to an end.
Now, let's make this a reality.
Please join us this March 20th for the largest online monetary war protest in history. Our goal is to bring together 100,000 people to donate $10 each (minimum), creating a one day total of millions to fly the Peace Blimp until we the people force our government to end this war.

Also - check out the "Interact with the blimp!" section. That should be fun! :)

The only way to end all these wars is to end the fed.

Start contacting those that could support this
and can put banners on their sites. Sent Trevor some good contact info including Cindy Sheehan and Laurie Dobson of EndUSWars. They have marches that coincide with the money bomb date. Hell, maybe someone representing the blimp can attend, give a speech, and get the first few banners off the ground.

This is todays "War Is Over" posters
I think people will be taken by surprise to see the peace blimp. I think we can include a lot of people in the effort and that $10 toward education and peace is a drop in the hat. Very doable. Heck, imagine if some of these famous people you talk about hear about it and decide to make a hefty contribution. This is a message and a tool that needs to be further explored. Besides, how much billboard space will they give us? Take to the skies!
Some of you need to realize that this extends our partnership to a new audience. The left and those involved in the rallies this march to take to Washington will be new to this idea. Imagine this taking to the skies in time for the March 20th march on Washington. That will get all in attendance talking and supporting the project.

bump for freedom
End the War on one side. Vote Ron Paul 2012 on the other side. And have a flyer trailing the blimp with legalize Cannabis on it! ; ) so beautiful
The role of a farmer, in Fukuoka's mind, is an observer, not an intervener, of the natural order in his/her particular landscape. How is that any different than Hayek in regards to Economics?
this is a great idea: Yes,
this is a great idea: Yes, count me in!
The banners are absolutely beautiful. I'd like to print and post on community bulletin boards, perhaps even church bulletin boards, etc. -- maybe do you think I should add at the bottom something like "to help a grassroots effort to end the wars and promote peace in our nation, please visit: PeaceBlimp.com" ?

With a trailing Ron Paul 2012 banner?

Regarding Palin: I believe we are watching in real time the rise of the third party, which will be controlled by the powers that be from its' inception.

for March 20 .... rally in DC
non-intervention foreign policy ... the foundation of the liberty movement philosophy (don't let the GOP or anyone try to get a compromise)
also educate with more than slogans
How about mailing 100,000 copies of "The Revolution" a month to Americans? (Target Republicans if you wish, but it doesn't matter).
Seriously, I'm all for peace, but I don't think we are going to get anywhere near it with little slogans and stunts. We need to win Americans over with our philosophy. Our philosophy is our strength, and "The Revolution" is the perfect messenger.
How about starting with donations for a CPAC book bomb? If anyone thinks this is a good idea, and would donate, I will help organize it. I ran the idea by some folks at C4l, but I haven't heard back yet.
Not trying to steal the Peace Blimp's thunder, but the CPAC book bomb is an idea that I think will make a big difference.
Dumbest Idea Ever
Seriously?? A half a million dollars PER MONTH??!? Yeah, lets choose the most EXPENSIVE and LEAST effective form of advertising ever.
I agree!
I thought that we learned our lesson with the Ron Paul blimp. . .
People will vote with their dollars...
or not.
Ron Paul "Sign Wave Across the USA" -- November 5th!
(sigh) The blimp earned over
(sigh) The blimp earned over $2 million in publicity for one quarter the cost. It was a success, period.
I wish the lesson we would learn is that we shouldn't spend so much time and energy trying to ruin the projects other people like. If you don't like it just don't donate. I never understood what was so difficult about that.

That cost would be for one large blimp, several smaller blimps and multiple planes flying over rallies taking place all over the nation.
The first option would just be planes in multiple cities and could be done for much less.

Will the peace blimp fly?
Here's a story from Canada about the Peace Blimp (with Trevor Lyman interviewed): http://westernstandard.blogs.com/shotgun/2010/02/will-the-pe...
Aiming too low
If you end this war (which one?) they will just start another.
We need to end all the wars, close all the bases. All of them. Everywhere. NOW. Bring the troops home. All of them. NOW.
Not a blimp for one war. Bring home all the troops, adopt a strict policy of non-intervention, and use the savings to banish the income tax and replace it with - nothing.
Now where did I hear that? Was it really so long ago? Was that message too hard to understand? Who here thinks they know better than the man who inspired this site and the first blimp?
I'm not lowering my sights. This gas bag flies without me.
You lost me.. how does
You lost me.. how does educating people about the history of our involvement in the middle east and about the philosophy of non-interventionism fall short of our ideals?

Nice thought
Instead of employing certificates of debt in dampening your guilt, let the movie stars pay for the ballon ride. This would allow you the opportunity to contact three friends and tell them it is time to stop the freefall of American debt. The fastest way to bring our debt down is worth more gold than has ever graced the delusions of the dark souls who fund this madness, bring our troops HOME!
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.

well, guess i'm the naysayer here
but altho it is a fun idea i think the $'s would be
better spent on supporting the "120" true liberty candidates and get them in office.
the ron paul blimp was fun too but i did not support it for
the same reason.
it costs a small fortune to do this.
Ron Paul is My President
I hear you, we can't do it
I hear you, we can't do it alone, or even most of it. But remember the Democrats raised hundreds of millions to put an anti-war candidate in office. We need to reach out to the left!

The blimp is a very effective marketing tool
It got my attention and made me wonder who this Ron Paul guy was.
"Obamney care," Nuff said.
Loved even the little one floating at the Revolution March!
Good idea for a peace blimp!
I really like the idea but
what happens when the cia pull off a false flag attack. Won't people point and say you crazy pacifists? I think we need a way to expose the game that is being played against us. When that is exposed the wars will go away on their own.

How about "Abolish the Fed" blimp?
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win!"

"End The Fed" Blimp
The slogan "END THE FED" is already among the choices posted, and is, at present, ranked as the 8th most popular choice (see here). Of course, given that the #1 vote-getting phrase is (I'm quoting here) "Peace Thru Douche!" it's possible (ahem) that the veracity of voters' motives there is less than earnest.
