Red Envelope Project

I heard about this at church, and am going to do it. I hope you will consider it as well.I was deeply disturbed that our country saw fit to elect a man who openly supports abortion, especially late term abortion.
  • If you don't know what late-term abortion is, I'll tell you: It is when a late-term baby, who could live on it's own outside the womb, is birthed feet-first except for the head. Then the baby's skull and brain are pierced with scissors, and a suction tube is inserted into it's skull to suck it's brain out. Make you sick? Me too. And we elected a man who thinks this should be legal.

This Red Envelope Project is an effort to let President Obama know how many of us disagree with his view on human life.

Over 38 million babies have been aborted in the United States since 1973 when abortion was legalized. In those 38 million could have been the genius who would discover a cure for cancer. They were soldiers, police officers, fire fighters and others who defend and protect us. At the very least, they were citizens who would provide revenue that may have prevented our country from being in this financial crisis.

On March 31st, mail an empty red envelope to the President. Address it
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500

On the back, write: This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception.

There is a list of locations you can purchase red envelopes at on the website (Kinkos, etc), and also instructions for how to make your own out of paper you have on hand.

Take a stand. Spend 42c and take 10 minutes for human rights.

March 31st is NEXT TUESDAY.

(If you can't get it mailed Tuesday, they're still going to recognize the red envelope even if they get it a day or two later. Make the effort.)
