An Open Letter

To: Sen. Markey, Sen. Warren, Rep. Trahan

From: A verified voter in Ashburnham, MA

July 22

Congress has gotten as far as it ever has in ending twice-a-year clock changes. The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time (DST) permanent. It now heads to the Senate. If that passes, our mornings will stay darker for longer. But, if it doesn’t go through, another bill is coming right behind it that would stabilize clock time in the opposite direction, enacting permanent Standard Time. Ending the clock switch is extremely popular, and science agrees stopping this madness is what’s best for our health. But nearly every major sleep-medicine and circadian-biology organization recommends permanent Standard Time, not permanent Daylight Saving Time (DST), which the House just approved. Please vote NO to Permanent Daylight Savings Time and YES to permanent Standard Time. Thank you very much!
