We the People
We, as a group, ask / engage our elected official(s) to review and reverse the Governor Carney's latest Modification-27 revision signed November 20, 2020: Restrictions to Restaurants/Bars, Food Establishments, Places of Worship, Non-Profit organizations, etc has no basis of metrics and strictly hindered freedoms which is unconstitutional.
We have searched through the Delaware Division of Public Health and the Governor's office sites to locate metrics / statistics/ studies performed by the State of Delaware showing that Bars, Restaurants, and Games are highly linked to the spread of COVID-19 and we found none.
The President & CEO President of the DRA has stated to us “There are no metrics or statistics pointing to our industries"
Small Businesses, Restaurants, Bars, Gyms, Non-Profit organizations, Places of worship, etc. have been fighting to survive since March 2020. With this recent change in capacity, MANY will NOT thrive - OR - survive under this new mandate/modification.
We call on our State Legislators & Governor Carney to reverse Modification-27, or present the State's reports/ studies providing the specific metrics used and specific findings on the spread of COVID-19, and within which small businesses the studies were conducted to support Modification-27, signed on November 20, 2020

Governor Carney thinks he can crush our local businesses without showing a single scrap of evidence to back his mandates. This momentum proves that people are fed up with the silence and the lack of transparency coming from his office. We are keeping the pressure on until they either produce those metrics or scrap this unconstitutional order entirely.

Shutting down restaurants and small businesses is nothing more than destroying people while they are unable to provide for their families, employees and pay state taxes that keeps you receiving your paycheck. You or the prior governors didn’t shut down for SARS, H1N1, Ebola or AIDS. This is a political stunt. How about we not pay you.
If the State wants to limit business capacity, they should purchase that capacity at a fair price just as they would have to if they wanted real property.
Please publish the exact statewide criteria used to effect the small business restrictions, that were issued on 20 November by Governor Carey.
Sad that you can make a decision on what to close. What about grocery stores and clothing stores? I guess coronavirus is not in those kind of places. It’s sad to see businesses closing and people suffering for over this.
Support fair restrictions. The American Legion helps Vets struggling with mental health by providing a safe gathering place.
Please don't get me wrong, I believe COVI - 19 is real, what I do not believe, that it is as bad as OUR government is saying. To me it's just one more step for them to control what we do. Open up our state Governor Carney ! Lead by example !
It’s time open up!

It is sad the government discriminates against bars, restaurants and small businesses since there is no scientific evidence to support their suppression.
