If you sign my petition you may never have to worry about setting your clocks forward again. If you sign my petition you may also save hundreds of lives, end a form of depression in America, and have a better chance of obtaining Vitamin D. I'm asking the Obama administration to please keep America on Daylight Savings Time (DST).
_The benifits if we remain on Daylight Savings Time:
-1) According to a calculation from the journal, Accident Analysis and Prevention, the additional sunlight gained if we stayed on DST would save the lives of 195 drivers and 171 pedestrians from car collisions that happen every year.
-2) Seasonal Affective Disorder, a form of depression, can be cured if we had "... more light during the winter months," as stated by Mark Levy, chairman of the San Francisco Foundation for Psychoanalysis.
3) More sun = greater chance of gaining vitamin D.
Mr. President, I am asking you to please keep America on Daylight Savings Time. You may say okay I'm tired of the time changes but why would we want to remain on Daylight Savings Time year round? You may wonder as to why I wouldn't ask you to have America remain on Standard Time. Through my research I have found that we could save lives and help some people to live healthier.
