Red Envelope Project

Please don't forget to participate in the red envelope project.

Here is the website with more information: http://www.redenvelopeproject.org/

The below was copied and pasted from the Red Envelope Project website:
Get a red envelope. You can buy them at Kinkos, or at party supply stores.

On the front, address it to:

DON'T FORGET YOUR RETURN ADDRESS. THEY WON'T BE DELIVERED WITHOUT IT.

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
N.W.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 on March 31st, and send it.

Then send this website 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, Christ Otto


I (Jen) addressed mine to President and Michelle Obama and I have my letters ready for my senators and representative which will go out this Tuesday.
