Red Envelope Project

Red Envelopes For Life

Many pro-life people around the nation have gotten involved in the “Red Envelopes for Life” campaign. They send red envelopes to the President, to call his attention to the issue of abortion and to call him to conversion of heart. This is a simple action, but when repeated by countless people, can have an impact.

Politicians are people, too. We have to work and pray for their conversion. We also have to keep before their eyes the issues on which they need conversion. Those who do not want to face the truth about abortion simply ignore the issue, using the excuse that they have to pay attention to many other things. A campaign like the Red Envelope campaign makes it harder for them to ignore what is the most basic issue of all – the right to life.

TO MY DEAR PRO LIFE FRIENDS
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.

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.

Mail it the weekend of February 28th,. Please 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.

Warmly,

John Otto
