Say something – Peace on May 9, 2024
Hello peace advocates, Today’s Peace Bit invites us to help our elected officials say something about the “big picture” on Planet Earth. Yes, saying something could get them in trouble, so we can offer to help. People who hate war and love peace are the ones who can give them courage. We see that the… Continue reading

War games – Peace on May 6, 2024
Hello people who hate to be robbed, Today’s Peace Bit might make you angry. Because we are indeed being robbed. We are being robbed blind by the sneaky, slimy, greedy military-industrial complex which is grabbing our public money from our legislators. Our legislators are supposed to be custodians of that public money for the public good.… Continue reading

Peace and Earth Day? – Peace on April 22, 2024
Dear peace folk, This is a Peace Bit. We who use Peace Bits for contacting our legislators (or even just for personal reflection) aren’t thinking about Earth Day? Well, we surely are. We know the practices that are leading toward the end of life on Mother Earth come from war. War on the surface and in the present… Continue reading

Stressed? – Peace on February 15, 2024
To the dear peace lovers of our Peace Bits circle, Exhausted. Stressed. Overwhelmed. Outraged. Worried. Sad. Despairing. Alarmed. These are some of the words folks enter into the chat box of our daily Jewish Voice for Peace zoom meetings when we are asked, “With what feelings are you coming today?” Other words in the stream… Continue reading

War making – Peace on January 16, 2024
Hello peace lovers, I wasn’t able to visit with my legislators’ staff yesterday as their offices were closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I resorted to email. You too? Many of the events honoring Martin Luther King Jr. yesterday were beautiful and heartening. May the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. clarify the visions… Continue reading

What warists? – Peace on January 14, 2024
Hello people who hate war, In previous Peace Bits, I used to say my own region (the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, US of A) is in a prime position to fight down the military-industrial complex in our country. There were fewer military contractors here than about anywhere in the US! So our legislators were less… Continue reading

Climate impact – Peace on January 10, 2024
Hello peace-loving folk, Our legislators should speak out strongly and much more strongly against the ongoing murderous assaults on Palestinian children and families by the US/Israel military. This is the case not least because of the drastic damage the war is doing to our beloved Earth. Did you hear? A new report says not only… Continue reading

Warism – Peace on December 6, 2023
Hello peacemakers, “Peace is just a fantasy, a pipe dream.” “This is a dog-eat-dog world! Might makes right.” “Sorry, non-violence just isn’t realistic.” “Diplomacy can only go so far…” “Even God endorses war under some circumstances.” “It’s more important for our people to survive than for any others.” No, I’ve never heard any of… Continue reading
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.
