Red Envelope Day

RED ENVELOPE DAY
March 31, 2009

1. Get a red envelope from Kinko’s or a party or office supply store (or you can purchase here).

2. On the front, address it to:
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , DC 20500

3. On the back, write the following message:


"This envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion. It is empty because the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of our world."

4. Then mail the envelope on March 31st, 2009.

President Obama has pledged to support and sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which will essentially "undo" every law currently in place to limit abortion in the U.S. , i.e., parental consent laws, parental notification, waiting periods, prohibition of transporting a minor girl across state lines to obtain an abortion, etc.

It may seem that those who believe abortion is wrong are in a minority. It may seem like we have no voice and it's shameful to even bring it up. Let us show our President and the world that the voices of those of us who do not believe abortion is acceptable are not silent and must be heard.

An empty red envelope will send a message to President Barack Obama that there is moral outrage in this country over this issue. It is a quiet, but clear message of protest.

Please forward this post to every one of your friends who you think would send one too. I wish we could send 50 million red envelopes, one for every child who has died before having a chance to live since Roe v Wade legalized abortion in the US 36 years ago.

I'm getting my red envelopes ready. How about you?
