I'm not the originator. Was going to create one but did a search first and found this. I truly believe DST serves limited modern purpose. There are benefits, but they are out-weighed at this point by downfalls. Modern culture has a major impact. DST comes at an expense. I think we've reached a point that we don't need to move our clocks around twice a year anymore.
Great idea! Daylight time is perfectly stupid and an archaism as well. It's an example of Big Government holding the hand of the public in an especially pointless activity.
But something tells me that 100,000 signatures will be difficult to reach for an issue that doesn't have either "abortion" or "social security" in its description.

can someone link to the research about this please?
There seems to be quite a bit. But most credible articles (haven't tried Google Scholars yet) point to there being no clear "winner." The overall consensus is that we should just be DST year round or not have it.
