JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — The Bandimere family is hosting a rally called the “Stop the COVID Chaos” on Tuesday at Bandimere Speedway.
The event press release says: “There will be a brief presentation to explain further why the Bandimere Family has decided to file a lawsuit since Governor Polis has not honored the spirit of the emergency powers law by repeatedly extending and expanding his authority and, regardless, because his Executive Orders and Public Health Orders are unconstitutional. Patrick Neville and Michelle Malkin will say a few words about their similar lawsuit which the Colorado Supreme Court declined to hear on Friday.”
The event begins at 6 p.m. but doors open at 5 p.m. The Bandimere’s encourage attendees to bring American and Colorado flags, dress in red, white and blue, and are planning a group photo for the rally.
“Everyone is invited to join us as together we express our God given right to demand a stop to the COVID Chaos Governor Polis has inflicted upon all of us with his Executive Orders and Public Health Orders.”
Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) submitted a letter to the Bandimere’s on Tuesday telling them it is aware of the rally they have planned but have not received a request for approval if the event was planned for over 175 attendees.
JCPH states events under 175 attendees do not require a plan but social distancing and other public health orders are required to be followed.
The letter continues to state that JCPH has worked with Bandimere repeatedly on plans for previous events since the public health order has been in place.
“Given the absence of an approved plan for this event, we are hopeful that, that Bandimere intends to cap the attendance at 175 attendees or less,” the letter states.
