Grassroots Group Plans Campaign Utilizing Multiple Aircraft Types

Some supporters of Republican Presidential hopeful Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) hope to help spread the candidate's message using a variety of aircraft in early primary states.

The "Ted Cruz Air Force" (TCAF) will feature a "Ted Cruz Blimp" as its most visible aircraft, but according to the group's website, the grassroots organization also plans to use antique aircraft, banner tow planes, LSAs, ultralights, parachutes, and others.

The group is not officially connected with the campaign, and the candidate has not officially acknowledged its efforts. But the organizers say they have "no doubt" they can raise the money necessary to field the Ted Cruz blimp.

And they do have a track record to back up the claim. The website indicates that the same group mounted a similar effort in support of Ron Paul's campaign in 2007.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

 

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

 

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792

 

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

 

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

That’s great.

Not an old thinker, a new thinker shaking up the creaky, crooked shipwreck known as the Republican Party.

Gotta love the free market of ideas.

Hillary! Clinton, not to be out done, will tie personal
messages to the legs of passenger pidgeons and release
them in major cities...each with a coupon good for a
Squab dinner.

interesting that “Ron’s” air force has joined Ted’s camp, not Rand’s. Hope Ted can attract more of the good parts of Ron’s old crowd. Rand can keep the kooks.

I love the clever ideas of these Cruz supporters!

I had to look up the meaning of LSA (light sport aircraft)

We all hope that a "Ted Cruz Blimp" flying overhead doesn't tempt some insane leftists to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights in an unlawful display. Har!
