End daylight savings time.

Created by A.H. on February 25, 2014

Please put an end to the practice of daylight savings time.

While daylight savings time provides us with additional evening hours for leisure activities during warmer months, it is disruptive to sleep rhythms, children's and pet's routines, business operations, transit schedules, record-keeping, travel, and more, while generating confusion and bad feelings. 45% of Americans believe it is not worth it (compared to 37% in favor). It does not save energy (as previously argued), may increase risk of heart attack, decreases productivity, and increases traffic accidents.

The problems daylight savings time presents outweigh any benefits. Revive last year's White House petition to end the practice!
