The clock is ticking down. We have until midnight Friday, December 7th to collect the first $200,000 needed to launch the Ron Paul Blimp tour. As of now we are at about $135,000. The publicity that the blimp will generate will be priceless.

As you know, many of the initial pledges received were bogus attempts to sabotage the success of this effort. It would be a shame if those who set out to do damage to the effort were to win. Let's not let that happen!
