Description:

To our congressional leaders; The undersigned are requesting the elimination of bi-annual time changes across the country. The changes from daylight savings time to daylight standard time are outdated and are no longer of pertinence. We are requesting that Daylight Savings Time be standardized as the national standard. Since the adoption of the "Act to preserve daylight and provide standard time for the United States" was enacted in 1918, the nation has changed and the purpose behind the law is no longer valid

uh no, cuz in the morning it is freaking cold in the winter!! i dont know if u have ever lived in states that have winters that get really cold, but in the morning it is freezing even this year in March it was and i want to actually be up when the sun is up. if u have ever rode on a school bus, u'd kno that some buses do not have very good heaters and i ride one of those buses. so y do this to ur kids who have to walk to school in the DARK?! or those who have to ride in buses that do not have very good heaters?! and i want to be on the right time. i'd only get confused when i read the shadows that the sun casts.

Please stop this madness! My body is tired... my kids are crabby because their bodies are telling them to get up an hour earlier then the clock does when the sun comes in their rooms too early. They are also crabby because they want to play at night and now suddenly it is dark at 5:00. There are more accidents the week after we change the clock back and forth which proves peoples bodies are reacting to this stupid shift. Please keep daylight savings time all year and stop this switching back and forth!

Oh yes, this is one of my pet issues. Why in the name of all that is sacred must we set our clocks twice a year!? Every other nation on earth seems to manage without having to do this. Why do we cling to it?

DST is causing a tremendous waste of time and energy. If you all want to show how smart you are, help encourage an end to DST. For example, people are spending a lot more gas money as they use headlights in the mornings.
How could this madness continue? I wonder if the energy companies want all of this for more money, or is it the politicians who think they are so smart winning their arguments. I suppose it is fun to let them win when you know they are wrong, but at this expense?

Since cars use a lot more energy with headlights on, DST might help the energy companies make more money.
During DST, more people go to work in the early morning before the sun rises.
Those who won the arguments for DST probably feel pretty smart. It is fun to let them win when we know they are wrong, even if it is a big waste of time and energy.

There is no valid proof at all that day light saving time saves anything!!!!!!!!!!

An hour of time shift is not enough to have any real effect!!!!!!!!!!!

It is extremly annoying to everyone to screw around with time twice a year!!!!

To avoid any further argument about this rediculous and unprovable issue lets split the difference, advance time one half hour and never change it again!!!!!!

Yes, indeed, I do agree with keeping daylight savings times all year.  This should of been done a long time ago. Here's to keeping it year round.
