DST Extended by Four Weeks in U.S. Starting in 2007
August 8, 2005 Update: President Bush signed into law the Energy Policy Act, which extends Daylight Saving Time (DST) by four weeks from the second Sunday of March to end on the first Sunday of November. Extended Daylight Saving Time will begin in March 2007.

Since 1966, most of the United States has observed Daylight Saving Time from at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of April to 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. Beginning in 2007, most of the U.S. will begin Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and revert to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.
In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.

They aren't getting rid of Daylight savings time, they are just moving it ahead a few weeks. They are only going to do this for either 3 or 5 years to see how it works. If they don't like how it works, then they are moving back to the ol' schedule.

Not stop it, but extend it. The Daylight Saving Act of 2005 would set specific dates that are add about two weeks in both directions

I read that on march 11 we spring ahead and the first week in november on next year we fall back. they did not stop it. I hate changing all the clocks back and forth. by the time I get use to one time they are changing it again.

I was told they were changing the dates in 2007. We will "spring" forward in March now instead of April and "fall" back in November instead of October.
