👏 Texas Senator Mayes Middleton files SB 692 to eliminate Daylight Saving Time by end of 2025! Tell #TXLeg YES on SB 692!

“The US tried permanent Daylight Saving Time in 1974. 79% of the population was in favor at the beginning. But after one dreadful winter, support dropped to 42%.” #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime #TXLeg https://www.whitesboronewsrecord.com/article/342,stop-the-time-change

“Make Standard Time permanent again. It is better for health and safety. It is the most biologically normal time.” #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime #TXLeg

Texas: New: SB 516 seeks illegal, unsafe, permanent Daylight Saving Time. Filed by Senator Mayes Middleton (R-Galveston), who previously sponsored bills seeking pDST and bills seeking legal, safe, permanent Standard Time. Permanent DST would put TX sunrise past 8am 3–5 months, later even then 9am! When last tried, it cost lives and business, and Texans rejected it. Please urge him and your own state legislators to #DitchTheSwitch the quick, safe, and lasting way, with permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST! #DitchDST #TXLeg #MAHA
