Red Envelopes

This was forwarded to me, and I think it is a great idea. I'm going to join in.................................................................................................................
Dear Friends,
This afternoon I was praying about a number of things, and my mind began to wander. I was deeply distressed at the actions that President Obama took as he began his presidency -- namely, that he signed executive orders releasing funds to pay for abortions world-wide, permission to fund human embryonic stem cell research, and federal funding for contraception. I have been involved in the pro-life movement for nearly 20 years, and it pained my heart to see a man and a his whole political party committed to the shedding of innocent blood. This man and his party lead our country, but they do not represent me, part of the 54% of Americans who believe that abortion is wrong and should no longer be legal.As I was praying, I believe that God gave me an interesting idea. Out in the garage I have a box of red envelopes. Like the powerful image of the red LIFE tape, an empty red envelope will send a message to Barack Obama that there is moral outrage in this country over this issue.. It will be quiet, but clear.Here is what I would like you to do:Get a red envelope. Address it to:
President Barack Obama
The White House1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, D.C. 20500

On the back of the envelope, write the following message, or something similar:
This envelope represents a child who died by abortion. It is empty because that child was given no choice about what to do with his or her life -- no chance to do anything at all. Responsibility begins before conception.

....................................Add a stamp and mail the envelope. Please forward this email to each of your friends who you think would send one too. I wish we could send 50 million red envelopes, one for every American child who has been executed in his or her mother's womb since 1973. We should all try to mail these on the same day so they arrive within a day or two of each other to be even more of a visual at the White House. Of course, you can send a red envelope anytime you want, but getting lots at once would be a powerful display. Perhaps we could all mail them on the weekend of Feb 28-March 1.
That gives us time to pass the word as far and wide as we can. We need to pray that God will change the heart of this president.
