Senator Patty Murray (D- WA) took to the Senate floor Thursday to call for permanent Daylight Saving Time.

Yes, for those of you who forgot, this Sunday it’s time to fall back once again. For years, lawmakers across the country have been working to make DST permanent, but Congress has not seriously taken up the issue.

On Thursday Murray said, “I don’t know a single person who loves to go through the trouble of figuring out whether their microwave or their oven has the hour right, or anyone who looks forward to the sun setting earlier and earlier every winter.”
