“Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.”

However, they still need to raise an additional $175 K to keep the blimp in the air for the full month before the New Hampshire primaries–the $200 K is just a deposit. Anything over that will go toward keeping the blimp flying even longer.

After a short interview on XMRadio just now they called back and asked if they could be on the blimp when it goes over Washington D.C. Other reporters have asked for the same.

They’re pretty confident that they’ll be able to fly it over Wall Street, Times Square, and other restricted airspaces:

Note that they need to raise $200 K by Friday in order to make stops on the way from Elizabeth City, NC to Boston, MA. At the current donation rate, they will still make it to Boston by the 16th, but won’t have time to make any stops.
