Peace Bits for Peace Advocates

Eyes open – Peace on May 7, 2024

Hello peace lovers,

Today’s Peace Bit is brief. 

All of our eyes are on what is happening in Gaza, in the city of Rafah.

You may have been contacting your legislators in the cause of peace constantly or you may have been simply letting these little Peace Bits help to guide your prayers, conversations, and concerns. Even if you don’t usually contact your legislators, today might be a good day for that. Almost all of their offices are open around the world, their contact info is available on their websites, and from all of my experience and all I hear from others, their staff people are excellent message-takers. You might even get to talk directly with one or more of your legislators.

Suggested wording (just a suggestion!):

[Legislator],

I am watching what the Israeli/US military is doing to little children and others in Gaza. My eyes are open.

I am a peace advocate, “lobbying” my legislators in the cause of peace on a daily basis. I want my legislators (yours too) to hear about PEACE as often as they hear from the war lobbyists of this world. I hope you’ll start calling, emailing, and visiting your legislators in the cause of peace as well. Does it do any good? Well, we certainly do not want the war lobbyists -from government, the media, weapons makers, and the like- to be the only lobbyists, do we? Let’s OUTNUMBER them and shut them out all together. Our legislators should foreswear ever speaking with war lobbyists.

About Me

I am a peace advocate based in Rockingham County, Virginia in the United States. I “lobby” my US legislators in the cause of peace on a daily basis. I consider this advocacy to be a variation on lobbying because I am going head to head against the war lobbyists of this world. I detest war and all of its various so-called justifications. Writing a daily “Peace Bit” prompt to convey my appeals, I use my Peace Bit when I call or email or visit my own elected officials. I then share it with others who also want to appeal to their legislators in the cause of peace.

To appeal to your own legislators, just search the web for all of the contact info you will need. When calling or visiting your legislators’ offices, LAVISH the staff persons with courtesy. Their jobs are not easy! In many cases, staffers are our allies and they can have tremendous influence on their bosses!

If you subscribe to my blog you will always have new Peace Bits on hand; they are different every day. You can use them for personal reflection, for appealing to your own legislators anywhere in the world, or for planning your next Letter to the Editor. I’d love to hear how your peace advocacy goes! I invite your suggestions as well.

Please invite others to sign up for Peace Bits, will you? Our international circle of Peace Bits users grows mainly by word of mouth.
