An email I received from the head of the NJ Libertarian Party

"Last week, a Republican Party official filed a lawsuit in the State of Pennsylvania to keep the Libertarian Party off the ballot in November. Basing the lawsuit on a substitution technicality the merits of the case are scheduled to be heard September 4, 2008 in Philadelphia. After collecting over fifty thousand signatures and an enormous strain on our manpower and monetary resources I must ask the question, when is enough, enough. We know they don't want us in the debates, but if they will fight tooth and nail to keep us off the ballot it begs the question what type of government would they run if elected. We must begin to take a stand and let them know this will no longer be tolerated. For the next two and a half months we have our opportunity to unite and send a message this is no longer acceptable. So what can you do?"

This just simply disgusts me. This is how corrupt and rotten the political system is in this country. They can't fight fairly so they try, by any means necessary to silence those that speak the truth.

    The Dems are just as guilty as the Reps when it comes to this. They constantly fight to keep people like Nader off the ballots.

    I love how the email says its based on "a substitution technicality" but no other explanation.... my thought is that there are laws and rules and if you don't follow them then you shouldn't be on the ballot.... but I'm sure all that will come out in the merits hearing.
    This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.
