End DST

The Issue

Twice a year, Americans are forced to switch clocks for Daylight Saving Time—a practice that most of the global community has abandoned as antiquated, harmful, and redundant. America needs to catch up with most of the global community and eliminate this frustrating routine.

 

Why We Should End DST:

 

⏳ Health Risks – DST has been known to lead to heart attacks, strokes, road accidents, and sleeping diseases. Not only is losing an hour of sleep annoying—it's dangerous.

 

💸 Economic Waste - Governments and corporations lose millions of dollars every year in coping with DST-related IT upgrades, scheduling disruptions and reduced productivity.

 

😡 Public Backlash – Time and time again, poll after poll has determined that Americans resent having to change clocks and would prefer a permanent system. So why are we still doing it?

 

🌍 The World Has Moved On – Over 60% of nations have dropped DST because it is not working and is outdated. America is behind in being in step with the rest of the world as it still has unstable timekeeping.

 

🏝️ Some States in America Have Already Opted Out of DST – Arizona and Hawaii are exempt and are doing well. Why can't the other America do so if they can?

 

How We Make Things Work

 

This petition calls on state governments, corporate America, and Congress to realize that there is a large segment of public support in eliminating DST. If a sufficient number of states refuse to comply with it, Congress has no choice but to do so. We must stop looking over our shoulders and take matters into our own hands!

 

Sign now to call for an end to DST. Stop the clock for good.
