Taboo? – Peace on May 19, 2024
Hello friends, I offer a pair of taboo images for your Peace Bit today. (See KathleenTemple.wordpress.com for alternatives! Or for info on how to use your Peace Bits.) At least in my neck of the woods, today’s images might cause some discomfort, if not alarm. Silly, yes, I know. Because they are from China we… 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

Hello advocates for peace, These Peace Bits go out to you in various countries. Many are in the United States, however, where the Biden administration is forever egging on the terrible wars raging all over. So today, let’s consider the Biden administration.

Corruption, begone! – Peace on April 20, 2024
Hello folk of peace and justice, Weapon makers, surveillance wizards, and guzzlers of blood and oil cocktails were already filthy rich before this century even began. Now, they are only getting more blood-drunk. And they are gaining control of more and more of our legislators worldwide. So we remind our legislators (most do not want… Continue reading

Emergency Peace Bit – [More] Peace on April 18, 2024
Hello people who already receive too much email, I know, I know. I also get more email that I can digest. Sorry about this. But you know, it’s quite amazing what our legislators do not think of on their own. So we had better send them an extra message right now. (if it’s possible for… Continue reading

Hello resolute advocates, Today’s Peace Bit includes a couple of links to short-ish videos (see below). The videos are about the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, the international group of aid boats going to Gaza. The mission is to break the Israeli blockade, to deliver lifesaving aid. If you are going and free to say so, I… Continue reading

Choices, choices – Peace on April 16, 2024
Hello advocates for peace and survival, We have been hearing lots of huffing and puffing from the killers of the world. And we see at least some of their destructive power. They apparently want to kill forever. First, Palestinian children and Mother Earth herself. I suggest either visiting your legislators’ offices or phoning them to… Continue reading

No to weapons – April 15, 2024
Hello peace lovers, I’ve heard from a number of you who receive Peace Bits that you are worried, upset, and afraid, as the Israeli/US military is huffing and puffing for wider war. I’m fearful too. I’m pasting a poignant poem here for all of us— go to the end of this message for “Poem for… 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.
