Keep Daylight Savings Time

Every year, we fall back and spring forward. As the earth rotates and proceeds through different seasons, our days naturally become shorter. So why do we fall back and spring forward? In 1916, Daylight Savings Time was enacted by the President, to help those fighting in WWI have more daylight. It lasted for seven months and was ended due to it's unpopularity; mainly because people went to sleep much earlier than we do today. During WW2, it was reenacted for wartime and to save energy. For the past almost 75 years, The Daylight Savings Acts have been revised, ended, reenacted and extended by various presidents.
In the Pacific Northwest and more specifically Oregon, we already have long, rainy and dark winters. In addition, due to lack of sunlight and shorter days during the fall and winter months, more and more Oregonians are at risk for Seasonal Affective Disorder -basically depression during these months.
I am proposing for Oregon to end the "Fall Back" aspect of Daylight Savings Time and keep our days longer. Thank you for your support!
