Official Tea Party Groups Want DiStefano Out

The Independence Hall Tea Party PAC, along with the West Jersey Tea Party and Cherry Hill Area Tea Party held a rally/news conference outside the Indian Chief Tavern last night, to demand that Peter DeStefano withdraw his so-called "NJ Tea Party" candidacy from the 3rd Congressional District race.
The explosive story by Jane Row of the Courier Post, linking Peter DeStefano's campaign to the Democratic Party and John Adler (D-3), has caused a great deal of resentment in the Tea Party movement.
Mr. DeStefano's name is scheduled to appear on the general election ballot under the banner "NJ
Tea Party."
"Trouble is, while Mr. DeStefano has no ties to the Tea Party Movement, he does have strong ties to the Democratic Party and John Adler," said PAC Vice President for New Jersey, Bill Green.
"That Adler operatives would go to such lengths to try to confuse voters in an attempt to win an election is downright cynical and insulting," said Green.
"Mr. DeStefano should withdraw his candidacy from the 3rd Congressional District immediately. And
Mr. Adler, who has previously lied about his involvement in this hoax, should finally come clean on
what he knew and when he knew it."
The Independence Hall Tea Party PAC was formed in February, 2010 to assist federal candidates in the tri-state region (PA, NJ, DE) who share the organization's commitment to limited government, fiscal responsibility, and lower taxes.
