propose the elimination of Daylight Savings Time (DST)

Created by H.D. on March 13, 2016

We ask the President to propose the elimination of Daylight Savings Time (DST). Modern studies have shown no energy savings benefit to Daylight Saving Time and in fact studies have shown it to cost the country nearly half a billion dollars in lost productivity and cause increased heart attacks and traffic accidents. Throughout most of our history the United States did not observe Daylight Savings Time and it is now time to repeal this useless and misguided law.
