   The Red Envelope Project!
Get a red envelope or postcard and mail on March 31st to the White
House Address
Below.


When:
March 31st, 2009


Get a red envelope. You can buy them at most office or 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.

Put it in the mail, and send it out March 31st, 2009. Feel free to forward this event to any one whom you think would be willing to send one, too. I wish we could send 50 million red envelopes, one for every child who died in the United States before ever 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.

Together we can change the heart of The President and save the lives of
millions of children.

Thank you.

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 this issue [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 will be quiet, but
clear.
