National Organization to send empty envelopes to Barack Obama

Red Envelope Day, an event organized by Pro-Life activists, have set out to make a point by sending millions of red envelopes to President Barack Obama at the White House on March 31st, 2009. Their goal? To send individual envelopes, each to represent an aborted child to the President with this message:

This envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion.
It is empty because the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of our world.
Unoblivious is an unbiased blog, and if anyone would like to help aide the event, the organization says that you can buy the envelopes easily at Kinkos, or at any party planning store near you. Just send your envelopes to:

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

Their mission statement is "Together we can change the heart of The President and save the lives of millions of children."
Now that's activism. You have a cause, you stand by it, and you do something about it.

Version 2.0 update. 2/21/2009

That's right. I updated the visual of the blog. I wanted to change it up a bit, make it a little more professional but yet still simplistic. I'm getting back into Unoblivious, and this time full force! I'll have Andrea get back in on posting, and I will post as much as I can. Sometimes maybe twice a week, and other times I may even post twice a day, you just never know. I'm still in my senior year, and it's still going to be hectic, but I'm going to give it my best shot to get this ball rolling.

Show your support by commenting, or sending a message my way. Everybody needs support :)

Senioritus and Perseverance

No, My blog hasn't ended. But something has started: My senior year of High School. It's crazy, and hectic, but I'm definitely still with Unoblivious. It's been very busy for me in the "real world" working to manage all of my college stuff, and school work.
Just figured I would post this update, expect a post soon. :)

Political opinions...

Hey this is Andrea again! I thought I'd post something on how I feel about this election. OK so I am not 18 and i can't vote, but if I could I would vote for McCain. I like his views and also I like Sarah Palin. I believe they would make a great team. Even though they are republican, like President Bush, I still feel like no matter who we choose at this election there still will be change. I know change change change thats what we keep hearing. But I think McCain will be more than just talk, he'll get the job done. Also you may just say he's an old guy he won't know anything about how poeple feel and think these days, thats what Palins for. She is grounded and knows what everyday people want. With politics poeple will always have alot to say and different opinions but I thought I'd share you a little bit of mine. Hope you vote McCain Palin 08'!

Hey

Hey, I'm Andrea and I am a friend of Taylors. We have decided to both do this website together, like posting blogs and such. I may even post videos I like or funny bumper stickers. Hope you like it!

Where is the effect without the cause?

Every blog should have a cause. I actually did a critical review essay over a blog, Gizmodo.com, which is most likely the best technology targeted blog out there, and one of the elements that I had to critique was the content structure. Of course, theirs is technology, as it is obviously unmistaken you've ever visited the site, and while my new blog is obviously about Poverty and causes, I thought I should take the initiative in adopting an outside source.

The Stand Up, Speak Out Against Poverty and Equality campaign is essentially what this blog is about, which you will realize soon enough if you decide to become a regular reader. If you want to know more about this campaign, you can read more into it here: http://www.standagainstpoverty.org/

and I've also have decided to support End Poverty 2015 Campaign. For more info, visit: http://www.endpoverty2015.org/ 

Also, If you havn't noticed i've added the logo's of the two campaigns to the Unoblivious logo at the top of the page. (The blog needed more color anyways)

So there you have it! I'm sure I'll post another entry later on tonight. so check back!

The frontline of Poverty.

To me, life is easy. To others, not so much. Like my "about me" section says to the left of this page, I went to Haiti this past summer and finally realized that what I am so used to, others are dying for. Litterally, dying for. This picture to the right is me in Haiti with my little girls I took care of for 10 days in July. I went from July 5th through the 15th. It's an experience that I would never take back. 

Comming home, I was most frequently asked the same question: "What do you think now about the US?" and my answer was the same. "Well, to be honest with you, I am angry, and I feel rather selfish." But putting more thought into the question, I thought to myself... "God has given me all of these amazing things in my life.. why should I ever feel angry about what God has provided me with?".. well, the answer to that was that no, I shouldn't ne angry. So I started answering it this way: "Well, I'm more appreciative. Not only do I appreciate what God has given me in my life, But now I appreciate the life that the less fortunate go through every day."

..and that appreciation will be with me for the rest of my life.

The group that I went with last year has decided not to go on a Mission this summer, so I am currently looking for a group to travel with. AIM(Adventures in Missions) called me yesterday about going to Kenya for a month this summer, but it's close to $4,000. I'm not sure what to do, but what I am sure of, is that if I am meant to go, God will let it happen.
