I think if nothing else just move it 30 minutes and leave it alone

Yes, it is a no brainer, no chance that it will pass the US House of Representatives, let alone the Senate. So that Briben could Veto it.

Because I hate it when the sun sets at 5:30.

I LOVE daylight savings time, and my husband relies on that time in the winter after work to do the farm chores (feeding etc)

One big argument works against permanent daylight saving time -- more hours of morning darkness. For many parts of the U.S., sunrise would come after 8 a.m. in the winter.

I'm the odd one here. in winter months, i like that its darker sooner thats when pretty lights are on the buildings. we enjoy driving around looking at them. Also, we typically aren't outside at night in the winter due to it being so cold.I like it lighter for longer in the warmer months. Swim, ball
