End daylight savings time observance in the United States and all territories.

Created by J.L. on March 07, 2015

Daylight savings time should be abolished in the U.S. & territories. Some states don't participate, others don't have standardized observance within their own borders. There are studies that show time changes disrupt sleep patterns, especially the spring change. However, I don't need science to tell me I'm negatively effected and I bet you don't either. Every spring there are news stories about increased accidents (auto & other) related to the time change; this is an unnecessary safety risk. The practice made sense at one time but is no longer practical. The only reason I think we do this is most people alive today accept it because "we've always done it this way". Please support this petition; there have been others that failed due to multiple competing petitions that split support.
