Allow aid! – Peace on May 3, 2024
Hello peace loving people, (note: bonus message today… to President Biden. Scroll down, down…) I wonder, do any of us in this circle of Peace Bit recipients live in Turkey? I don’t know everyone’s national affiliation; I would love to hear from someone in Turkey. How do you regard Turkey’s recent decision, because the… Continue reading

Refresh that curse – Peace on April 24, 2024
Hello lovers of peace, In a Peace Bit the other day I made a curse against my legislators. Against your legislators. Against myself too, by the way— and everyone in between. My message to my legislators that day was something like MAY YOU HAVE NIGHTMARES EVERY NIGHT until the Israeli/US genocide against Palestinian people stops. https://kathleentemple.wordpress.com/2024/04/12/not-a-blessing-peace-on-april-12-2024/… Continue reading

STOP weapons – Peace on March 26, 2024
Hello wonderful peace folk! Finally finally finally finally the US lets the United Nations express some of what the vast majority of our human family worldwide has been saying for an extremely long time already —CEASEFIRE NOW— but does the Israeli/US military let up on the killing of children and others? No they do not.… Continue reading

Peace actions – Peace on March 20, 2024
Hello peace folk, When I contact my own legislators, I often address specific things in the moment such as particular legislation, political squabbles, or our local needs. But writing Peace Bits for all of us in our various countries helps me keep my eye on the broad need to advocate for peace and against war. Local specifics… Continue reading

Food – Peace on March 15, 2024
Hello to you who love food (that is, everybody💕), Some of us are doing this month’s FAST FOR PEACE today, trying to feel at least a bit of what the Israeli/US military is forcing upon others. (I wrote to you about it yesterday: https://kathleentemple.wordpress.com/2024/03/14/tomorrows-fast-peace-on-march-14-2024/) Also, of course, a billion people of the Muslim faith are fasting… Continue reading

Fantasy – Peace on March 1, 2024
Hello fellow dreamers for peace, In today’s Peace Bit, I want to share with you my fantasy. In my fantasy this morning, it’s February 25, 2025. No children from Palestine are being shot or bombed or starved. All are truly at home, safe and lovingly cared for. It’s one year from the day Aaron Bushnell courageously… Continue reading

Food – Peace on February 27, 2024 (shorter today!)
Dear “neighbors” of Gaza, Yes, every single one who is reading this Peace Bit is in some sense a neighbor to the people of Gaza. Our neighbors, the 2.3 million people of Gaza, are being starved. They are being starved even while they are also still being murdered by Israeli/US weaponry. According to reports, there will… Continue reading

CRY OUT – Peace on February 26, 2024
Hello peace witnesses, Your Peace Bit today is in honor of Aaron Bushnell, the young US Air Force person who just died after setting himself ablaze. He self-immolated in protest of the Israeli/US military’s genocide against the children, families, and others of Palestine. I sincerely and strongly hope no other person will self-immolate but I… 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.
