Permanent Central Standard Time for all of Indiana!

Fellow Hoosiers, are you tired of waking up at 7 am in pitch black darkness feeling tired, groggy, unhappy, and not wanting to do anything? Most of Indiana is observing the wrong time zone but 12 of the 92 counties are observing Central time, which is the right time-zone for all of Indiana.

Eastern Time delays sunrise until a few minutes past 8 am for most of Indiana, but 12 of the 92 countries that observe Central time have sunrise a few minutes past 7 am. In addition to this, daylight saving makes this complication much worse than it already is. Side effects are increased heart attacks, strokes, sleep deprivation, depression, suicide rates, work related injuries, car accidents, injured pedestrians, etc. If it's not bad enough, read the next paragraph

On January 23, 2017, an 11 year old boy named Tristian Moore was struck and killed trying to catch the TRANSPO bus to school with his 8 year old brother (not injured) by a passing pick up truck after 7 am crossing the road in pitch black darkness. What is worse, the pedestrian and traffic signals weren't working making it even harder to see pedestrians crossing the road! Dark mornings make it so difficult to see pedestrians because of the lack of light that was shining at 7 am causing an increase of injured pedestrians. We need to take action and do the right thing because of what happened on that day!

What is the solution to this problem? We put all of Indiana in permanent central standard time year round (-6 GMT year round) because all of Indiana lies well within the Central Time Zone and daylight saving forces us to observe the wrong time-zone.

Hoosiers, I strongly urge you to sign this petition to help get Indiana back into Permanent Central Standard Time year-round, no daylight saving!

Note: This petition is for the people of Indiana

Hoosiers, I can't achieve permanent central standard time for all of Indiana alone. I need your support. Here is a list of steps you can take to contact your state legislator
1. Go to https://iga.in.gov/information/find-legislators.
2. Type in all the personal info where it requires.
3. Contact your legislators by phone and/or email.
The goal is to build the momentum we need to get this passed

Hey Hoosiers, I am going to increase the goal to 2 thousand signers soon. What I am going to do is break our goal up into small goals so we build momentum as opposed to doing the entire goal at once. We are in the 800's right now and thank you for your support. Signing this petition not only will help me but for many of the other Hoosiers in this state. Lets keep going and contact your state legislatures now for next session!!!
