There are a few elected officials in… 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.

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.

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.
