Tonight I'm asking you to oppose the Sunshine Protection Act, S.29/H.R. 39. First of all, it's unconscionable for Senators to be spending any time at all on this time change bill, when millions in our country are about to go hungry and lose their healthcare because the GOP is holding government hostage. But if you are going to spend time on this time change bill, I urge you to oppose it. The Sunshine Protection Act seeks to extend Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanently into winter. Please instead file new legislation to ditch Daylight Saving Time and restore permanent Standard Time, such as Save Standard Time has drafted on their website: https://savestandardtime.com/legislation/ * Permanent Standard Time is endorsed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, American College of Chest Physicians, National Sleep Foundation, Sleep Research Society, Society for Research on Biological Rhythms and many more (who also oppose permanent DST). * Permanent Standard Time lets most people sleep longer year-round (permanent DST would force millions to start school or work before sunrise for many months each year). Support the safe, healthy, and sensible choice. Ditch Daylight Saving Time and Save Standard Time! Oppose the Sunshine Protection Act.
