Do away with the time change known as "Fall Back".Daylight Saving Time is an antiquated notion.

Created by S.F. on January 20, 2016

We need to eliminate the time change in winter that causes it be dark at 4:30 in the afternoon. It causes millions of Americans to suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. Depression, vitamin deficiency due to lack of light and the fact that drivers are forced to commute in the dark after a full day at work is proven to be the cause of more auto accidents . Crime may also be affected. I believe this antiquated notion started by Ben Franklin 200 years ago needs to be eliminated. I might have been more useful during a period in our history where farmers in rural areas saw some benefit but there is no realistic or beneficial reason for it that I can see in this day and age. Please join me in petioning the President nd the entire Federal Government to abolish this outdated practice.Thank You !
