Red Envelope Day started in 2008. A very faithful man who supported the cause of Pro-Life for over twenty years by sending more than a hundred emails and letters and placing just as many phone calls started it all. He deeply wanted to come up with a symbol for the pre-borns defense so he contacted friends, acquaintance's and anyone who would listen and advocated for the Pro-Life cause.
They decided to start a campaign to raise awareness of how Pro-Life is a great choice and let people know that those children who have died by abortion can be heard as well. Letters or cards in this case which the envelopes are colored bright red were to be sent out to the Nation's most influential people and all others who would listen in each state. This is still the goal today.
By the third month of 2009 these envelopes had been delivered by the millions to the doorstep of the White House as well as all across the Country. Just one person set this all into motion and got such a tremendous response from supporters joining in to make the voices of the pre-born heard by all that had the hearts to listen.
One drawback this campaign had in its first year of running was that many knew about it and the ones that did including many media people just kind of pushed it aside and moved on to other stories and news. Even the political leaders and others in influential positions turned their backs on it. This should be something that news as well as our leaders of government take concern with and have stands against and not just ignore the whole thing all together.
Soon the yearly Red Envelopes will be making their way out again and his time they are hoping for even more supporters and volunteers. This will be a way to give those that have no voice yet a chance to be heard and listened too. This time around more advertising campaigns and media groups are covering it and the best hoped for is that at least this time the President and the other National leaders will take notice to such an important issue that needs to be addressed.
