The majority of people when asked, want it to go. The problem is the federal government, Congress and the Senate, have to approve it with a majority vote. It can't be done at the state level. Good luck.

GO!!!! It’s been proven to be unhealthy!! Heart attacks and strokes increase immediately after. Messes up sleep schedules and rhythm.

Farmers have lights on there equipment!!!!
Just another Silly pointless thing we do because of tradition. IMO

I can live without it. Blame it on the farmers is a farce. A Farmer will work sun up to sun down if need be regardless what the clock says.

That's what I meant we cut wheat 24/7 and the military has night vision goggles and we're not at war.

The other excuse i have heard is concerning kids waiting for the school bus. Far easier to have different start schedules for a few thousand kids than changing everyones life.

Don't need it but how will people remember to change the smoke alarm battery? Even tho the battery lasts a lot longer than 6 months.

That's it Ed! It's all driven by the battery makers.. Smoke alarms, flashlights, clocks.... Why didn't I realize this before??
