Red Envelope

Got this from a friend and think it has the potential to be very powerful...

Dear Friends and Intercessors:

This afternoon I was praying about a number of things, and my mind
began to wander. I was deeply distressed at the symbolic actions
that President Obama took as he began his presidency. Namely, that
he signed executive orders releasing funds to pay for abortions,
permission to fund human 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 political
party committed to the shedding of innocent blood. This man, and
this party lead our country, but they do not represent me or 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. (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.
Washington , D.C. 20500

On the back, write the following message.

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.

Put it in the mail, and send it. Then forward this email 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
before having a a chance to live. Maybe it will change the heart of
the president.
