Time out for a political message from our sponsor…

OK – I don’t really have a sponsor, but this is a political message. So any who are not of the conservative persuasion might want to check back on another post.

I got a "notification" on Facebook from my Aunt Dena the other day asking to participate in something -- to protest, peacefully, the presidents stand on abortion. Or Voluntary Population Planning, as he puts it.

I believe we should respect the office of president and support him in his difficult job. But I don’t think that means we should sit idly by while things happen we don’t approve of.

So someone had a great idea of the RED ENVELOPE PROJECT. I hadn’t ever heard of it before, but I really like the idea. A simple, peaceful way to send a message.

Here is the plan:
Get red envelopes or postcards and mail them to the White House, When: March 31st, 2009
You can buy red envelope 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 of an abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception."

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.

So I want to call on my blogging buddies, friends and family to join this protest. Remind every one to pray for this project to have an overwhelming effect on our president. Whether or not it works, I will feel better for trying.
