Send a Red envelope

[Robert Millward]

Below is an idea I deem worthy of doing and am passing it on. For the groups I come face to face with I will prepare a batch of printed envelopes and let them put the return address on then send in a bundle.
============================================================

Dear Family and Friends,

I am passing this along, because I thought perhaps you would like to particpate in Red Envelope Day, on March 31, 2009.
Get a red envelope. You can buy them at Kinkos, or at party supply stores. On the front, address it to

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , D.C. 20500

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.

We will mail the envelopes to arrive March 31st, 2009.

Put it in the mail, and send it. Don't forget to put your name and address on it or they will just pitch them out!
Forward this event 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 died [only in the U.S. ] before having a chance to live.

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.

Barack Obama spoke at a Planned Parenthood Action Fund event, uttering the now infamous line, "Well, the first thing I'd do as president is, is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. [Applause.] That's the first thing that I'd do."

An empty red envelope will send a message to President Barack Obama that there is moral outrage in this country over abortion.
