A Bipartisan Bill I Can Get Behind

I hate Daylight Savings Time.  Hate it.  I'm all for this:

This Sunday, 97 percent of Americans will be forced to change their clocks once again, “springing forward” an hour into daylight saving time (DST). The process of having to reset our clocks is an irritatingly outdated practice that we should ditch. We should instead embrace DST as a critically important way to realign daylight time to Americans’ most productive hours, while also improving public health and the American economy.

Thankfully, we have a solution. Our “Sunshine Protection Act” would shift the United States to permanent DST year-round, eliminating the need to worry about changing clocks in November and March. The bill, which has 12 bipartisan cosponsors, awaits action before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, which has authority over the Uniform Time Act.

And if you can't tolerate the above link because it was written by a Republican for FoxNews, try this one from CNN:

Not surprisingly, then, politicians in Washington and Florida have now passed laws aimed at moving their states to DST year-round.

Congress should seize on this momentum to move the entire country to year-round DST. In other words, turn all clocks forward permanently. If it did so, I see five ways that Americans' lives would immediately improve.

We have a time zone, but we're only on it for 4 or 5 months.  Stick with it!  Actually, I don't care what time zone we adopt--adopt GMT if you want to.  But for the love of God stop changing the dang clocks twice a year.
