I really wish we didn't have to in California!

Haha it's the worst!

Growing up we didn't have to change time and half the year we would be 2 hrs different than the town across the river.

Reminds me of the high speed rail in Florida. Overwhelming majority supported it.... and then opposed it when reworded on the ballot. You had to vote NO if in favor of the train. Reading is hard.

A classic plebiscite written to confuse voters and I'm guessing supported by a well funded group.

No plebiscite should ever be allowed to be worded in the opposite of what it is about.

"Yes I do not not want daylight saving to be abolished because I do not want to conserve more fuel." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylig..._United_States

Check yes, or no.

As for the daylight savings thing I'm guessing in the next few years it will be a distant memory.

I vote yes. I will manage my own fuel costs.

I hate Daylight Saving Time and I do think that it should be abolished.

Standard time is best.

I remember as a kid, how much I enjoyed the days getting longer and shorter throughout the year. We had plenty enough sunshine in the summers and winter evenings were just right.

We don't need to change the clocks twice a year, but going to DST to do that is stupid and unnecessary.

you guys think it’s bad re setting clocks in your house? Try having a hobby of restoring antique clocks, with a BIG collection. By the time I finish it will be the day to turn them ahead one hour.

I thought California's Voted to Stop the clock moving BS and we did, Prop 7. In 2018 Sixty percent of California voters decided that they definitely do not want to change the clocks twice a year for daylight saving time.

However, It is hung up in State Legislature and then need approval by Congress. Hopefully it happens!
