Thorne Protects and Defends The People of Colorado

Polis has wrongly inflicted systemic injustice on The People; Thorne sees the suffering of The People and knows they rightly deserve justice.

Thorne understands that any law which violates the Constitution does violence to The People the Constitution was designed to protect and defend. 

When government officials collaborate with government bureaucrats and others to force The People to obey an unconstitutional law, those government officials and bureaucrats and others are guilty of inflicting systemic injustice on The People.  

The violation of a person’s Constitutional rights is a grievous injury which that person experiences at a personal level; though the injury is personal in nature – often with horrific personal consequences – the injury harms not only the person, but also the whole of the society which tolerates such personal injustice.

That is why Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said in his Letter from the Birmingham Jail: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Thorne is a man who – when he sees systemic injustice – acts boldly to oppose it. 

In January 2020 Thorne personally challenged top Colorado government leaders to not enforce an unconstitutional law.

In early 2020, Thorne publicly challenged the key leaders of Colorado government to not enforce a new law that was clearly unconstitutional.

On January 10, 2020 Thorne finalized and signed an open letter for and to The People of Colorado about the unconstitutional new law.

Thorne’s open letter for and to The People of Colorado was addressed to Colorado Governor Jared Polis, the President of the Colorado Senate, the Speaker of the Colorado House, and the Chief Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court.

Thorne wanted to publicize his call for the top leaders in Colorado’s government to immediately oppose the unconstitutional law until it could be repealed.  So on January 10, 2020 Thorne spent the full hour on his talk radio show explaining why the unconstitutional new law was dangerous and harmful to The People of Colorado.

On January 13, 2020, Thorne personally delivered his open letter to Colorado Governor Jared Polis, the President of the Colorado Senate, the Speaker of the Colorado House, and the Chief Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court.

Thorne’s letter first explained why the new law was unconstitutional and that it created a Constitutional crisis for The People of Colorado, then challenged the leaders to not enforce it because it made Colorado into a police state. 

In February 2020 Thorne personally challenged top Colorado law enforcement leaders to not enforce an unconstitutional law.

A month passed with no response from those Colorado government leaders, so on February 10, 2020 Thorne delivered his January 10, 2020 letter to the top leaders in Colorado law enforcement, the County Sheriffs of Colorado and the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police.

Thorne’s February 10, 2020 letter to key Colorado law enforcement leaders recognized the danger created by the unconstitutional new law, notified them the new law was unconstitutional, and offered to educate them on why.

After another month passed with no response from either those Colorado law enforcement leaders or Colorado’s top political leaders, the Constitutional crisis took a dramatic turn for the worst.

In March 2020 Jared Polis personally launched a relentless unconstitutional attack on The People of Colorado.

On March 10, 2020, Colorado Governor Jared Polis verbally issued a Declaration of Disaster Emergency and used the Colorado Disaster Emergency Act (CDEA) to take complete, one-man control of Colorado government.

Polis began issuing Executive Orders at the astounding rate of one per day.  Many of Polis’ Executive Orders ordered public health bureaucrats to issue Public Health Orders controlling The People of Colorado in every aspect of daily life. 

Between March 2020 and the end of 2021, Polis and his Executive Branch subordinates issued over 500 Executive Orders and countless additional Public Health Orders.

In each and every one of his Executive Orders, Polis told The People that he had lawful authority to make law, but Polis had no such authority, so each of those Executive Orders was void and unenforceable.

The reason Polis had no authority to make The People subject to new laws by Executive Orders and Public Health Orders is simple – the Colorado Constitution forbids it.

When Polis’ Executive Orders violated the Colorado Constitution, he violated the People of Colorado.

The Colorado Constitution is why each and every time Polis issued one of his Executive Orders and he claimed lawful authority to do so, Polis lied to The People of Colorado.

The Colorado Constitution says No law shall be made except by bill in the Legislature.

The Colorado Constitution says the Legislature cannot delegate their lawmaking authority to anyone else.

The Colorado Constitution gives the Governor no authority to make the laws.

The Colorado Constitution gives the Governor only the authority to enforce the laws made by the Colorado Legislature.

The Colorado Constitution is why the Colorado Legislature lied to The People when they said in the CDEA the Governor could issue Executive Orders with the force of law.

The Colorado Constitution is why each and every one of Polis’ Executive Orders was flagrantly unconstitutional from the moment Polis signed it.  An  

When Polis’ Public Health Orders violated the Colorado Constitution, he violated the People of Colorado.

In Polis’ Executive Orders, he unlawfully commanded public health bureaucrats to issue Public Health Orders that mandated COVID-19 lockdowns or closures or social distancing or face masks or testing or injections.  Instead of protecting The People by challenging Polis’ Executive Orders, the public health bureaucrats did as Polis dictated.

Public health bureaucrats claimed Polis’ Executive Orders as their authority to issue the Public Health Orders as Polis commanded them to do, but they lied to The People just like Polis did.

Public health bureaucrats had no lawful authority to issue those Public Health Orders because Polis had no lawful authority to issue his Executive Orders commanding the public health bureaucrats to issue those Public Health Orders.

Yet an unconstitutional Polis’ Executive Order was the starting point and catalyst for each and all of the Public Health Orders that followed – Public Health Orders which coerced The People into compliance with Polis’ mandated COVID-19 lockdowns or closures or social distancing or face masks or testing or injections.

The scope of what Polis did to The People without any lawful authority through his Executive Orders and Public Health Orders is both appalling and breathtaking.

The Colorado Constitution is why each and every time a public health bureaucrat claimed Polis gave them the lawful authority to issue a Public Health Order, the public health bureaucrat lied to The People of Colorado because Polis had no such authority.

And the Colorado Constitution is why each and every time a public health bureaucrat issued a Public Health Order that mandated COVID-19 lockdowns or closures or social distancing or face masks or testing or injections, the Public Health Order was flagrantly unconstitutional from the moment the public health bureaucrat signed it, and unlawful.

Health care systems joined Polis and the public health bureaucrats in lying to The People.

The Colorado Constitution is why each and every time a health care system issued a COVID-19 “mandate” for lockdowns or closures or social distancing or face masks or testing or injections and claimed a Polis Executive Order or Public Health Order gave them the lawful authority to do so, the health care system lied to The People of Colorado.

Instead of protecting The People by challenging Polis’ Executive Orders and Public Health Orders, the health care systems joined Polis and the public health bureaucrats in lying to The People.

The Colorado Constitution is why each and every time a health care system issued a policy that mandated COVID-19 lockdowns or closures or social distancing or face masks or testing or injections, the health care system’s policy was flagrantly unconstitutional from the moment the health care system implemented it, and unlawful.

Employers joined Polis and the public health bureaucrats in lying to The People.

The Colorado Constitution is why each and every time an employer issued a COVID-19 mandate for lockdowns or closures or social distancing or face masks or testing or injections and claimed a Polis Executive Order or Public Health Order gave them the lawful authority to do so, the employer lied to The People of Colorado.

Instead of protecting The People by challenging Polis’ Executive Orders and Public Health Orders, the employers joined Polis and the public health bureaucrats in lying to The People.

The Colorado Constitution is why each and every time an employer issued a policy that mandated COVID-19 lockdowns or closures or social distancing or face masks or testing or injections, the employer’s policy was flagrantly unconstitutional from the moment the employer implemented it, and unlawful.

School officials joined Polis and the public health bureaucrats in lying to The People.

The Colorado Constitution is why each and every time a school official issued a policy that mandated COVID-19 lockdowns or closures or social distancing or face masks or testing or injections and claimed a Polis Executive Order or Public Health Order gave them the lawful authority to do so, the school official lied to The People of Colorado.

Instead of protecting The People by challenging Polis’ Executive Orders and Public Health Orders, the school officials joined Polis and the public health bureaucrats in lying to The People.

The Colorado Constitution is why each and every time a school official issued a policy that mandated COVID-19 lockdowns or closures or social distancing or face masks or testing or injections, the school policy was flagrantly unconstitutional from the moment the school official signed it, and unlawful.

Polis is personally and directly responsible for The People of Colorado needlessly suffering millions of serious personal injuries.

Polis’ fraudulent Executive Orders and Public Health Orders – combined with the fraudulent policies of health care systems, employers, and schools which Polis himself caused – inflicted catastrophic personal injuries on millions of people in Colorado from which they may never recover, and a sudden and unexpected social crisis from which The People may not recover for decades.

Polis’ unlawful Orders, combined with the policies he triggered, abused millions of people in Colorado, destroyed their Constitutional rights and liberties, and needlessly injured them at a deeply personal level. Those people – parents, children, grandparents, business owners, employees, and others – have suffered so much harm from Polis’ lawless conduct that now they truly understand the tyranny and oppression for which he is primarily and personally responsible.

Polis is personally and directly responsible to The People of Colorado for his official misconduct which stole from The People their lawful form of government.

Polis’ unlawful Executive Orders and Public Health Orders are not only a grotesque and fraudulent abuse of power without lawful authority, but also an imminent and existential threat to our Constitutional Republic form of government – self-government of The People, by The People, and for The People.

Since March 10, 2020, Polis has quietly taken one man control of every meaningful part of Colorado government and arrogantly violated the Colorado Constitution more than 500 times with impunity; in so doing, Polis has repeatedly violated The People, individually and collectively.

When one closely examines Polis’ actions, there is a shameful, conspicuous, self-evident Truth: Polis’ profound contempt with which he regards the Colorado Constitution is exceeded only by his contempt for The People of Colorado and the oath he took to protect and defend them by enforcing their Colorado Constitution.

Thorne worked for The People to make Polis and those who pushed his lawless agenda accountable.

In June 2020, Thorne devoted himself to full time work on Constitutional lawsuits challenging Polis’ Executive Orders and Public Health Orders.  As the springtime barrage of Polis’ Executive Orders and Public Health Orders continued into the summer at the unabated rate of one Executive Order per day, the comprehensive scope of Polis’ unconstitutional takeover of Colorado government functions began to emerge.

In September 2020, Thorne saw the Colorado Supreme Court refuse to decide the merits of a legitimate Constitutional challenge to Polis’ Executive Orders when they declined to take original jurisdiction of a case which presented them the most important legal issues in Colorado history – without any doubt the most important case in Colorado history.  The legal issues all stemmed from one central question – Could the Governor be given the authority to make laws when the Colorado Constitution clearly and unequivocally forbids that?

When the Colorado Supreme Court refused to take original jurisdiction and make a prompt, definitive, final decision about the most important legal question in Colorado history, they left The People of Colorado with no choice but to take their Constitutional challenges into Colorado trial courts.  To understand such a Constitutional challenge, read the Bandimere Speedway Complaint which was filed in Jefferson County District Court.

In 2021, Thorne saw not one, but two Colorado trial courts refuse to take up and decide the merits of legitimate Constitutional challenges to Polis’ Executive Orders when they allowed months and months to pass without any ruling on those same most important legal issues in Colorado history.  Justice delayed is justice denied.

By spring of 2021, Thorne recognized that despite righteous and well-presented Constitutional challenges to Polis’ Executive Orders and Public Health Orders – and all of the unlawful mandates those Orders spawned – the Colorado civil courts were failing The People of Colorado by refusing to give them any remedy for the manifestly unconstitutional abuse of power without lawful authority by Polis and all those who served him.

In September 2021, Thorne restarted the American Family Justice Project.  afjp.org

Thorne’s mission through the American Family Justice Project (AFJP) is to deliver to The People the information, education, and training they need to understand their Constitutional rights and give them an effective voice for their objections to Polis’ outrageous assault on their individual rights, liberties, and freedoms. Thorne will take this mission with him into the Office of Colorado Attorney General.

Thorne will make it his top priority to defend the individual rights of The People from the unconstitutional and harmful actions of government bureaucrats, health care systems, employers, and school officials.

Thorne will use the Colorado Constitution as both a shield and a sword put a stop to Polis’ abuse of The People of Colorado.  Unlike Polis (and Phil Weiser – the current Attorney General who defends Polis and not The People), Thorne will make it his top priority to defend The People from Polis and those who joined Polis in exploiting The People.

As Attorney General of Colorado, Thorne truly will be a champion who protects and defends The People of Colorado by enforcing their Colorado Constitution to the fullest extent of the law. 

Thorne will use the Colorado Constitution to restore to The People the Constitutional Republic form of government to which they are rightly entitled, but which has been stolen from them by the lawless conduct of Polis and the government bureaucrats, health care systems, employers, and school officials who served him.

As Attorney General of Colorado, Thorne will use every relevant civil and criminal law to require Polis – and all those who served him – to make right the wrongs the perpetrators have inflicted on The People.

To this end, there is much work to be done.  But Thorne is ready, willing, and able to listen to the injured among The People, to give them a voice with which to answer the tyranny and oppression they have suffered under Polis, and to hold personally accountable Polis and all who served him at the expense of The People.

Thorne can and will lead this process as Attorney General, but he cannot do it alone. 

The People who have been harmed must speak up for themselves and demand justice or they will continue to suffer injustice without relief or remedy.  And those who cannot speak up for themselves must be defended by those who can. Will we care for each other and carry each other’s burdens so that we can all see systemic justice triumph over Polis’ systemic injustice?

To know of systemic injustice and to do nothing about it is to be an accomplice of the perpetrators of the injustice.  Thorne knows what he will do as Attorney General.  What will you do?

“It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.”  Moliére

What will you do to help Thorne be elected Attorney General so he can make right the wrongs Polis has done to The People?

Will you write in your vote for Thorne on November 8, 2022?

Between now and November 8, 2022, will you support Thorne by telling everyone you know about him and asking them to write in vote for him on November 8, 2022? 

And will you ask everyone you know to do the same – tell their friends and family about Thorne and ask them to vote for him?

Tell them Thorne is asking that “Each one, reach one” – meaning if each one who supports Thorne with their write in vote will just reach one other voter who does the same, then they will elect Thorne as their Attorney General.   The way we are all connected through social media, it’s that simple.

We, The People, can elect Thorne – the champion we need – if only we will.  So spread the word as fast and as far as you can.
