This campaign to remove conservative parties from the ballot is absolutely disgusting and any American who participates in it should be ashamed of making the founding fathers turn over in their grave. But then, I don't expect RINOs like the Independence Hall Tea Party PAC to actually spend their time, energy and resources fighting DEMOCRATS when they can target conservatives. These morons are a blight on the good "Tea Party" name and should be disowned and rejected by everyone who believes in real Tea Party values.
They admit Democrats circulated and signed the petitions. This wasn’t conservative activism, it was attempted sabotage to try to help Obama win. Even so, if enough petitions have valid signatures, they will still stand. I’m glad the Tea Party is checking them out.

The president of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania, Tom Stevens, said the petition drive was financed strictly by Libertarian Party members and the campaign of former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, the party’s candidate for president.
“It’s part of no plot, and no money is coming from Democrats to finance our petition drive,” Stevens said.
He said it may be true that the signers and circulators were Democrats. But they were hired exclusively by a contractor for the national Libertarian Party, and they must accurately represent the Libertarian Party and its philosophies, he said.
