Keep the Florida Panhandle in the Central Time Zone

The Issue

We, the people of the state of Florida who live in the Central Time Zone, do not want to change to Eastern Time. We like living in the Central Time Zone. We like that we have sunrise earlier. We like that we do not have to stay up late for our news. We did not ask for nor do we want this change. We want our state legislators to vote NO!
