People are always asking me what they can do about the problems plaguing America.

"Farah," they say, "you're great at pointing out the problems, but what can I do to make an impact? How can my voice be heard? How can I make an impact?"

I usually direct people who ask these questions (and they come every day by the score), to my book "Taking America Back." It was written specifically to answer those questions, which I have received every day among the 2,000 e-mails or so I get daily since I began WND nearly 12 years ago.

A news site like WND is not nearly as effective at providing solutions as it is at pointing out the problems. "Taking America Back" was my best effort at providing the specific direction individuals seemed to want at affecting positive change in their political and cultural institutions.

I'm pleased to say it has sold about 75,000 copies to date and inspired many.

But I'm not here today to plug my book.

I'm here to plug one of those unique opportunities to make your voice heard – in conjunction with hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of others.

It's something you can only do tomorrow.

Hey, I know it's short notice.

But this is easy.

It's part of an under-the-radar movement that has been gaining steam for months.

It's called Red Envelope Day.

And the premise is very simple.

(Column continues below)

Tomorrow, send a red envelope to Barack Obama.

His address is:

President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500

You own his house, so you should know.

On the outside of the envelope, write: "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."

Next week, the White House is expected to receive hundreds of thousands of empty red envelopes, symbolizing the moral outrage of abortion. Maybe it will receive millions.

Can you imagine the impact?

I know there is no way we're going to change Obama's mind about abortion or the value and sanctity of human life.

But when he is surprised by this flood of red envelopes on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week, it might make him think twice about his radical anti-life agenda and just how far he is willing to go promoting it with your tax dollars and under your authority.

And who knows? Maybe, just maybe, it might even do more.

"I wish we could send 50 million red envelopes, one for every child who died before having a chance to live," said Christ Otto, the grass-roots organizer who came up with the idea. "Maybe it will change the heart of the president."

I'm not optimistic about that.

But what a statement it will make!

Do those 50 million aborted babies deserve any less consideration from us?

Personally, I'm going to the stationers in my neighborhood today to buy up all the red envelopes I can find to make my statement.

It's not the solution to ending abortion.

But it does make a powerful statement.

If there is any conscience at all operating inside that White House, it could be a very convicting demonstration.

It certainly can't hurt.

And I admire the spirit and the inspiration behind this grass-roots movement. It wasn't led by any politician. It doesn't serve some commercial purpose. It is not self-serving in any way. It is a small sacrifice we can all make tomorrow to make our voices heard on the most important issue we face – the issue of life and death.
