'They Picked A Fight With The Wrong People'
Chelsea Schilling, WND — This month, hundreds of thousands of Americans will march on Washington, D.C., in defense of the nearly 56 million babies killed in the womb since the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion 40 years ago – and now even the millions who can’t travel the nation’s capital will flood the offices of President Obama, key government officials and mainstream news media with as many as 2 million empty red envelopes bearing a very clear message:“This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty, a life taken that was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility and life begin at conception.”
Jan. 22, 2013, is the 40th memorial of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. Now that day has been designated Red Envelope Day as Americans plan to send a visual expression of moral outrage deep into the halls of Congress, beyond the marble columns of the Supreme Court and into the Oval Office.
Red Envelope Day 2013 gives participants the choice to send red envelopes to:
President Obama
Vice President Joseph Biden
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
House Speaker John Boehner
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
All nine Supreme Court justices
CNN President Jim Walton
New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson
Washington Post Editor Philip Bennett
Fox News’ Sean Hannity
Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly
Vice President Joseph Biden
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius

[...] Newman noted that the Obama administration is working to expand abortion and force businesses to comply with “anti-religious abortion payments.”
“The Red Envelope Day campaign is sending a message to the lawmakers that they picked a fight with the wrong people,” he said. “The faith community will not comply.
Newman urged Americans to “take a stand in the most important social justice issue of our day.”
“Although Obama has stepped up his efforts to force abortion on America, we’re pushing back harder than ever,” he said. “I believe the red cards are that first step in the next chapter of the abortion battle, and this is the chapter where we secure the right to life for every baby. We will not go away. We are firm in our resolve, and we will win.” » Read More
