Daylight Saving Time

Faith — Tomorrow, the clock springs forward in most states. But not everywhere. That's right, the majority of U.S. states are debating whether to opt-out of Daylight Saving Time in their state. Dr. Daliah Wachs thinks it's time for the entire country to do away with the hassle of changing the clocks. Daylight Saving Time is right around the corner, so now is the best time to make your voice heard. Permanent Daylight Saving Time - End the Time Change Dr. Daliah Wachs started this petition to Congress and it now has 129,371 signatures Sign now with a click It's time for Congress to pick one time that is standard throughout the year! Multiple health risks have been cited in scientific literature during the "Spring Forward" including car accidents, heart attacks and workplace injuries.  Since Daylight Saving Time was enacted to conserve coal during WWI, its role currently is obsolete in terms of energy saving measures. Moreover most of the country has introduced some form of legislation in regards to ending the time change. Last year California passed Proposition 7, making Daylight Saving Time year-round and permanent.  Other states who have proposed legislation include the following: Alaska Alabama Arkansas Colorado Delaware Georgia Idaho Illinois Iowa Kansas Maine Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nevada New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania South Carolina Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Some states had put forth legislation to be on Atlantic Standard Time, a time zone one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time that essentially puts them on year-round Daylight Saving Time.  These include Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. So why put the country through time changes twice a year?  Whether you're #SickOfSpringForward or #FinishedWithFallBack, It's time Congress puts an end to Daylight Saving Time changes and keep one time throughout the year!
