Green Envelope Day

Margaret Meier informs me about a "red envelope" campaign and suggests we counter it with a "green envelope day."

She writes:

This looks like a project that it might be worth countering, by sending envelopes of a different color - yellow or pale green maybe - to the White House - with a note that says:

This represents the hope and life given back to a woman who, though sad, felt that pregnancy termination was best for her, the potential child and the other people involved in her life. I am pro-choice and believe it is very important that we keep the door open for women to make their own choices about what is a difficult decision.--- or some such thing.


An anti-abortion woman writes:

Goal: 50 Million red envelopes to be sent to the White House on March 31.
