My Sunshine Protection Act has passed out of the House Commerce, 48-1

Big Vote today (48-1!) in the Energy and Commerce Committee on a Bill including The Sunshine Protection Act, which will be making Daylight Saving Time Permanent! This is so important in that Hundreds of Millions of Dollars are spent every year by people, Cities, and States, being forced to change their Clocks. Many of these Clocks are located in Towers, and the cost of renting, or using, Heavy Equipment to do this twice a year is prohibitive! The House will be attaching The Sunshine Protection Act to ''The Highway Bill." Great work by Troy Nehls, and all of the Members who voted, as well, for Railway Safety. I am going to work very hard to see The Sunshine Protection Act signed into Law. It's time that people can stop worrying about the ''Clock," not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice yearly production. It will also be a very nice WIN for the Republican Party. Take it! We are going with the far more popular alternative, Saving Daylight, which gives you a longer, brighter Day - And who can be against that - This is an easy one! Thank you to everyone who supported this important Bill, and especially Chairman Brett Guthrie and Vern Buchanan.

President DONALD J. TRUMP

Because “daylight” doesnt actually have anything to do with it, its the changing of the clocks that is the biggest problem when you zoom out. Every time it changes theres is an uptick in death due to various reasons and a huge amount of money lost all across the country just because some dumbass thinks they can create more hours of light.

Now if we changed the clocks about an hour or so every month then we could all save about and extra week and with that extra week we could all go on vacation together. I want to see the American Vacation Week Bill. Im heading out to collect signatures right now.

Not really, I keep changing it in the same direction.

As I recall, that was a major issue when we tried that back in the mid-70’s.
