Over 2 Million Red Envelopes Reach White House Mail Box

Over 2 Million Red Envelopes Reach White House Mail Box

"Quite frankly, there was definitely a deluge of mail coming through. I had to handle them all."

(Washington, DC)—Toward the end of February an idea, which originated from C. Otto, began circulating the internet. The Red Envelope Project, as it has come to be known, involved sending an empty red envelope to President Obama at the White House on the last day of March to represent a child killed through abortion.

Red Envelope ProjectEach red envelope was to be printed on the back with the words: "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."

According to a recent update from Chelsea Schilling on WorldNetDaily.com, the White House not only received red envelopes, but they were "deluged" with 2.25 million of them in the massive grass-roots campaign.

The worker at the White House who reportedly has taken care of letters addressed to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. for over 30 years told WND, "Quite frankly, there was definitely a deluge of mail coming through. I had to handle them all."

He added, "I've been here 35 years, so I've seen presidents come and go… This campaign ranks up there with the big ones."

The move to change the current constitution springs from an acknowledgement by most people that there are wrongs in the document that need to be made right. There are some basic rights, for instance, that the original constitution did not address, and which need to be enshrined in the new document. Similarly, there were some provisions that were included by those who negotiated the Lancaster House document that no longer hold water and need to be scrapped. The Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) retreat in Naivasha, which was expected by m...

President Obama says He Prays "all the time now"

Aimee Herd (July 29, 2009) "This is something where you just hope that you are aligning your work with His purposes, and that you're attuned to the needs of the people you're there to serve." In a recent Nightline interview, President Obama told ABC News' Terry Moran that his prayer habits have intensified since taking office, and that he prays "all the time now." "I've got a lot of stuff on my plate and I need guidance all the time," Obama said in the interview. He told Moran that before he was elected, he used to pray each night. Obama reportedly receives a devotional and prayer sent to his BlackBerry every morning from Pastor Joshua DuBois, the director of the president's Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Initiative. (Photo: LATimes) Obama candidly added, "I think that every president who's had [this job] is constantly humbled by the degree to which there are a lot of issues out there and the notion that one perso...
