👍 Suggested Message:
- Shortest:
- Hello, I’m calling to leave citizen feedback regarding the hearing last week on Daylight Saving Time. The representative is a leader of the Commerce Subcommittee. I’d like to ask you not to pass the Sunshine Protection Act or any other permanent DST. We need to eliminate DST and keep permanent Standard Time.
- If you’d like to say more:
- Americans do not want sunrise after 8am for 3 months each year. We don’t want sunrise at 8:30 or 9am each January. That would be depressing and dangerous.
- Permanent DST has been tried and repealed multiple times. Only permanent Standard Time can last, because it’s the clock set closer to the sun, which is best for sleeping, waking, health, and safety.
- Please do not prioritize the golf lobby with permanent DST. Protect our natural health and safety instead with permanent Standard Time.
