Red Envelope Day

Today was Red Envelope Day - the day that across the nation pro-lifers mailed thousands, perhaps millions, of empty red envelopes to the president to symbolize the fifty million lives lost in the last thirty-six years because of abortion.

Voice for Life set up a table in the lower Beamer Center with envelopes, stamps, and labels. Three hundred students, faculty, and staff stopped to write a note to the president. We had some handouts prepared and advertised a weekly prayer meeting beginning tomorrow.


Chet took this picture with his phone. I promise that the envelopes and table cloth were actually red, not orange.

Chet, Kara, me, and 299 empty, red envelopes.

Little Calvin was our best supporter.

I mailed one, too. Way to organize for a good cause!

Our 300 envelopes joined over 2 million envelopes. Here's an article about it:
