This petition was originally offered by C.D. from Loveland, OH in 2013 and received 32,791 signatures. I have revived it!
Daylight Savings Time is an archaic practice in our modern society.The original reasons fDST are no longer applicable, and the most cited reason for keeping DST (energy savings) has never been shown to be true.
Industries still like DST (like sporting equipment retailers), but there are many more who dislike the changed hours (like television).
Studies show that changing the clocks is responsible for health problems (including increased heart attack and vehicular accident risks) and leads to significant lost productivity in workplaces across the country. And, it's really annoying and disruptive.
We should either eliminate DST or make it the year-round standard time.
