“Next week is the RNC Winter Meeting, and this time around it’s being held in Washington, D.C. As many Life News readers know, that coincides with the annual March for Life.

As a proud pro-life Republican, I saw this as a great opportunity for us to participate in this meaningful event. So we adjusted the schedule and pushed back our meetings and official business to allow our members who want to participate to join in the march. We even rented a bus so that they can get to the rally. The march is a much more important cause; business can wait. On Wednesday, we’ll travel to the Mall together to join with hundreds of thousands of people from across the country gathering to support life.

We’ll be there to send a message: We are a pro-life party. Life is a gift, and it must be protected. That means advocating for our beliefs, embracing the right to life, and celebrating the blessing of adoption.” *  So begins the opinion piece written by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. 

Earlier this month Chairman Priebus, whose unabashed pro-life stance was celebrated by conservatives when he was first elected the national leader in 2011, had earlier announced he moved the Winter Meeting start time so that those attending the national meeting could attend the 41st annual March for Life on January 22.

Priebus reacted to RNC members who originally planned to charter a bus and attend the Rally and March on their own.  “I saw that there was a real interest among a significant portion of our members to attend and support the Rally for Life,” Priebus said in a Newsmax story. “This is a core principle of our party. It was natural for me to support our members and our principles.”*

Life Envelope Day, previously known as Red Envelope Day, started in 2009 when Pro-Life Americans flooded The White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court with over one million empty red envelopes. Each empty envelope memorialized one child’s life left empty by the abortion holocaust. The envelopes arrived the week of other remembrances of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision in what was one of the largest grassroots protest of any kind in U.S. history.

Life Envelope Day continues to be an important part of the activities surrounding January 22nd.  This year red envelopes with a pro-life message will once again make their way through the US postal service gathering notice at all levels until they reach their government officials.

More than 3,000 precious lives are snuffed out by abortions every single day in the U.S. We can’t give up on this fight or sit on the sidelines or it will never change. Our policy-makers need to know where we stand on this issue and they need to know that we expect them to finally do something about it.
