Dear Senators @tedcruz and @JohnCornyn, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT pass the Sunshine Protection Act. We do not need or want permanent Daylight Saving Time. We live in Texas. We get plenty of sunshine. As a matter of fact, many Texans would like permanent Standard Time. There's no need for daylight past bedtime. I'd rather be able to see the car in front of me during my morning commute. Permanent DST means children will be walking to school in the dark most of the school year. Don't give in to Big Golf and Big Candy. Lock the clocks to Standard Time and leave them alone. Please and thank you. Sincerely, Me @SaveStandard @mr_jay_pea @RepBrandonGill @wfaa #enddaylightsavingtime

Americans agree that switching clocks 2X a year is bad, but locking the clock on Daylight Saving Time is worse! Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. That's why I introduced the Sunshine for our Kids Act.
Did the U.S. try yearlong daylight saving time before and hate it? Yes. Polling showed it wasn’t popular, and what was meant to be a two-year trial ended in a few months. buff.ly/QvGwpxG

“Permanent daylight saving time can have health consequences… Sleep organizations agree that permanent standard time is best…”

New report on DST by the Congressional Research Service finds: • Energy is not saved. • Sleep is a factor missed in safety studies that only consider visibility. • Spring forward harms more than fall back. • Permanent Standard Time is best for health. congress.gov/crs-product/R45…

Keep telling your US senators to oppose permanent Daylight Saving Time and support permanent Standard Time, for balanced sunlight, natural health, and proven safety!

“Daylight Saving” and “Sunshine Protection” are deceits. Restore permanent Standard Time for more honest time-keeping.

Daylight Saving Time is absurd! Restore permanent Standard Time, the clock set by the sun!

We made that mistake back in the '70s apparently the people had forgotten about it or had forgotten out unpopular it was. One of the biggest complaints was that the Sun didn't rise till after 8am during the winter up North. If we're going to keep the same time it should be Eastern Standard Time not Daylight Savings.

It’s shocking that even something as simple as this can be completely botched by Congress. It has been known for years that permanent standard time is superior in health outcomes, circadian rhythm, and safety. This is essentially consensus in the scientific community.

Congress did this exact same thing in 1974! They passed permanent Daylight Saving Time during the energy crisis, and within three months, people hated it so much because their kids were walking to school in the dark that Congress had to do an emergency repeal and switch it right back! But nobody in Washington reads a damn history book! They just see a poll that says 'people don't like changing their clocks' and instead of doing the logical, biological thing which is keeping permanent STANDARD TIME, they pick the fake, corporate, late-afternoon-shopping option instead. They ignore actual sleep scientists, they ignore the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and they ignore basic astronomical reality just so they can brag on social media about giving you a 'longer, brighter day'! It is total, complete, anti-science corporate madness. 🤡

TERRIBLE. Permanent DST means 8:45am sunrise in most states. Tell the Senate to amend to permanent Standard Time!

Standard Time; the time observed during the winter from November to March is the natural, astronomical time. It aligns best with the sun, where solar noon happens when the sun is at its highest point. Daylight Saving Time is a man made shift designed to extend daylight into the evening. So, again, politics is against nature, against what would benefit humans most; Standard Time. Not to mention the thousands of things wrong with the country, they focus on this.

.@RealMichaelKay Ok yes Belli is having trouble but can’t you be more encouraging like Joe Girardi is? You sound like Charles Barkley commenting on the Knick.
