We the people ask the federal government to Change an existing Administration policy:

Abolish Daylight-Standard-Time and the bi-annual change of time.

Created by J.C. on November 08, 2016

Daylight Savings Time is an archaic practice in our modern society.

The original reasons for the policies are no longer applicable, and the most cited reason for keeping DST (energy savings) has never been shown to be true.

Some industries still like DST (like sporting equipment retailers), but there are many more who dislike the changed hours (like television).

The real issue, however is not the later hours or extra sunlight. Studies have shown that changing the clocks is responsible for health problems (including increased heart attack and vehicular accident risks) and leads to hundreds of thousands of hours of lost productivity in workplaces across the country. Also: It's really annoying.

We should either eliminate DST or make it the year-round standard time for the whole country.
