The Red Envelope

Greetings, all,

As it is almost Valentine's Day, many people are thinking in "romantic" turns. I would like to challenge you to think in some very un-romantic terms.

One of my mother's friends wrote this, and I believe this is something that can be very effective, if we band together and make it so. Please read on, and then, if you believe in protecting the life of the innocent, copy and tag your friends.

God bless,

Amë Stevens

From the email:

>>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 (abortion). 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. Or, if you're sending a valentine card that came with a red envelope, put the card in a white envelope and use the red one for this project. On the front, address it to

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, D.C.

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 had a chance to live. Maybe it will change the heart of the President.<<
