Daylight Savings Time

In Response to Mr.Ken Lewis, it seems that he flunked history
in High School.In 1983 Ronald Regan who was a Repuplican President
re signed a Federal law to extend Daylight Savings time and in
2005 George Walker Bush signed a Federal bill to move back Daylight
Savings Time by 3 extra weeks.
For your information George Walker Bush is a Republican President
the last time I looked.
The laws come from Washington but in some cases can be changed
by state governments.Did you get a chance to vote on these laws
or were they ramed down your throat.
Arizona and Hawaii fought back and said "NO" to Washington.
If you snooze you lose. If Alaska did not let her people vote
on this issue it could have been changed by the people ,overturned
in a state election.
All you have to do is get enough signatures to get the issue
on a ballot.Like taking candy from a baby.
I suggest you study your history, and also learn which party
was in power in Washington when these laws were put into effect.
It's simply History 101 pal.
