Thanks, Tessa, for passing this on.
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 out March 31st, 2009.
Put it in the mail, and send it. Then 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 [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.
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. 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.
