Politics and physics don't mix well, and physics always wins.  Sunrise 
will come at the same time it always has, only your clock will be 
different. Therefore, your authorization for daytime will be the same
as now and you will lose an hour of airtime in the morning during those
two months.

This is being done to synchronize with the time schedule Europe has
used for decades. Over there, they call it summer time. By doing this
the time differential between, for example, London and Chicago or
Paris and LA will remain constant year around rather than the wild
gyrations we see now. The idea is facilitating commerce.
