An Open Letter

To: Rep. Hoyle, Sen. Wyden, Sen. Merkley

From: A constituent in Eugene, OR

July 16

I support stopping the ludicrous action of changing time twice each year. It’s dumb and doesn’t do anything positive. I do NOT support permanent daylight saving time. We tried this in the 70s and people hated it because it is so terribly dark in the winter months. Why on earth would anyone support this? The amount of light we have is the amount of light we have. Leave the clocks alone!! Just use standard time. Here in the US we will get plenty of time to do stuff in the summer without moving clocks around and without forcing our kids to walk to school in the dark in winter. It’s hard enough for children and teens to get up in the mornings-permanent DST will be torture. For everyone. Do not support it!
