OU/IPA Action Alert - Daylight Savings Time Change

Please open this link to an IPA Action Alert on a proposal to extend Daylight Savings Time by two months each year, which the IPA is urging you to oppose:

In addition to the fact that children will need to wait in the dark for school buses etc., and the problems this would cause US transportation industries, it will also make it extremely difficult (and at times impossible) to daven Shacharis before getting to work (this is especially so in certain parts of the US, like Detroit).

The Alert has a sample email and the emails of the four most key people in the Senate/House to contact, though we are asking that everyone CC their own Senators (a link to the Senate/House contact information pages is provided in the alert as well).

Thank you.
