Daylight savings time was instituted by congress in 1918 to make better use of daylight hours to benefit the economy and to save energy by having daylight hours during the most productive time of the day. Standard time, when the clocks go back an hour, begins in the first Sunday of November and serves no purpose. Standard time simply means early morning hours are in daylight, however sunset and darkness greet Americans at or about 5pm.
Americans would much prefer to have daylight hours to extend daylight later in the day which will permit more family oriented after-work activities to be enjoyed: daylight for playing outside with the kids, gardening, biking, running etc.
Additionally, energy will be saved by less use of electricity and heating. Repeal Standard Time.
