Ron Paul blimp to launch in N.C.
Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on 2007-12-07 10:32A blimp for Ron Paul will launch from Elizabeth City.
A 200-foot-long blimp advertising the Republican presidential candidate will take off from the main operating and technical facility of Airship Management Services at 8 a.m. Monday.
From North Carolina, it will head north to Washington, D.C., and New York City, with stops in Boston and New Hampshire later this month.
The blimp features slogans that read "Who is Ron Paul?" and "Ron Paul Revolution."
Liberty Political Advertising, which supports Paul but is not affiliated with his campaign, is leasing the blimp from AMS. The group plans to raise $200,000 by Friday at midnight.
"Since the Wright brothers were here in 1903, Elizabeth City has been the jumping off place for many aviation firsts," said Wayne Harris, economic developer of the Albemarle Economic Development Commission in a statement. "What better place to launch such an innovative advertising campaign for a presidential candidate?"
