It’s easy – Peace on May 8, 2024
Hello advocates for peace and against war, Some of the Peace Bits I send you are long. Some not. Today’s? EASY. The “lobbying” I’m myself doing today is, to me, the easiest form of peace-advocacy. I invite you to do this activity today too! You might think of ways to adapt it for yourself to… Continue reading

Challenge warism – Peace on April 27, 2024
Dear peace lovers, It’s always fun to challenge the insanity of warism. And a weekend is the perfect time! Here’s what we can do: 1. Find the mailing addresses for our legislators (head of state too, if you like) via their websites. 2. Print out a peace image. I’ll paste suggestions below, way down at… Continue reading

“The News” – Peace on April 25, 2024
Hello people of peace, As it seems like the world is enveloped by more war every day, we still object. Thank you for loving peace! Today’s Peace Bit is no analysis of “The News”. In fact, quite a few of us in this international circle of peace advocates feel repulsed by the news outlets because… 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

Thank you – Peace on April 11, 2024
Hello peace lovers, Writing these Peace Bits to you each day before I contact my own legislators helps me decide what to say to them. I hope you are finding them to be useful, whether you use them for personal reflection, for conversation starters, or for contacting your own Members of the Legislature/Congress/Parliament. THANK YOU… Continue reading

Blast off – Peace on April 8, 2024
Hello people who love Earth, In today’s Peace Bit, I am offering for your use a “Dear Legislator” message that’s a little longer than usual. I think it will be easier to convey by email than by phone. I plan to email it to each of my legislators, then I’ll call each legislator’s office later on today to request that the email… Continue reading

Two weeks – Peace on March 11, 2o24
Hello people who love LIFE, Today’s Peace Bit is, in a way, a tribute to Aaron Bushnell who self-immolated two weeks ago. I lament his self-immolation. I decry it. But I at the same time feel much love and gratitude for Aaron Bushnell in my heart. I pray for all of his loved ones. And… 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
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.
