    Daylight savings time serves no purpose. It is an aggravation for everyone that is forced by the government to change the clocks twice a year!

    The amount of time this ongoing sharade countinues is the testimony to the efficiency of congresses ability to do their jobs. None of them work a real job, so the effects aren't felt. I believe it's a manifestation of power to know they can attempt to control time. I bet most of them believe the sun magically stays up an extra hour. Hopefully the scientific method will one day be how laws are written and justified. END DST!

    This is a disruptive practice with no actual benefit. It is time to stop messing with time.

    The whole purpose back in the late 1700s was to not waste energy/candle use. Well in the 21st century we do not have to worry about energy/candle usage. Farmers have more lights on their farm equipment now then ever. If you want to have more time during the daylight, than wake up with the light if you can. Most of us in the world know how to be responsible with our time.

    News reports on March 11, 2017 indicated up to 8% more auto accidents and 10% increase in heart attacks following the time change. As a registered voter in Michigan, I want the semi-annual time change abolished. End the unnecessary and potentially dangerous practice.

    If I hear one more idiot tell me to enjoy 'more daylight' I am going to scream loud enough for you idiots in Congress to hear. This idea of saving daylight or saving energy is patently stupid. Stop the nonsensical changing of our clocks.

    Dear Congress, Why disturb our Bioloogical clock with the man made "Daylight Saving" in the spring and fall. Please analyse the pros and cons and you will see that it is not good for us. . Our children need to sleep well to focus well on their studies. Listen to our Body and the Body will say the TRUTH!. The Truth is "Daylight Saving" is not a Saving for the Body.

    More than just an inconvenience, according to research, some areas experience higher energy use and studies show a link to increased heart attacks, depression and suicide following the march change over. This is not just a trivial matter.

    I work at a school that starts at 7:15 am. When this time goes forward students (many of whom walk) are in the dark) and attendance goes way down. March is just too early for the time change. Why not move it up to April then it's not so dark and will naturally be lighter even with the "Spring forward". Mid and early March is still winter especially in the north. PLEASE STOP THIS NONSENSE!!!

    When the amount of daylight during the Summer evenings when people are home is increased it only WASTES ENERGY as A/Cs work harder. STOP messing with time. God did not mess up.

    DST does not provide any benefits and can adversely health. The incidence of coronary episodes increases 10% to 20% when the time changes. It increases depression. There are no positive benefits. Why can't our country function on standard times?
