Bobby,

I totally agree. I do not see any reason to keep the “Fall Back”. If anything, I would “Fall FORWARD” one hour to even give one more hour of sunshine in the evening to spend with your family.

In the evening, with extra light, kids can play, families can go out, mothers can shop, crime will be reduced.

With a late sunrise, you may inconvinience some kids, but in most cases kids will be just fine as many kids in many rural districts (with longer commutes to school) get on in the dark in winters and they have managed it just fine.

Staying on Daylight Savings Time is a great idea, and a good-enough excuse to stop sending the kids off to school so early. (Lunch at 10:45? Out by 1:15?)
