eliminate the practice of changing time in the spring and fall. Make Daylight Saving Time permanent.

This petition asks to eliminate the changing of the clocks in the spring and fall and to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. This is the perfect time to do it as we just changed our clocks. Changing to DST for good would give people more daylight time after the usual work day for fitness activities, family activities, outdoor hobbies and home chores and would promote health and wellness. Studies have shown that changing time twice a year negatively affects our health and productivity and costs the country hundreds of millions. Retailers, sporting goods makers, and other businesses benefit from extra afternoon sunlight, as it induces customers to shop and to participate in outdoor afternoon sports.
