"It is not too soon for honest men to rebel."
The reason Badnarik did this is because the Commission on Presidential Debates is a nonprofit and allegedly nonpartisan organization. With this status, the organization receives tax breaks because it is supposed to serve the public interest.
However, the commission has failed to do this, as it has only served as a bipartisan (far from nonpartisan) campaign commercial for Bush and Kerry and much of the real issues facing America today are not being discussed.
Badnarik was attempting to serve court papers to the Commission about a pending lawsuit against it because of misuse of public funds on the presidential debate currently slated to take place at an Arizona university. If you read on his website, you'll note that there was some trouble getting any employee of the Commission on Public Debates to accept these papers.
This was nothing short of civil disobedience to protest the decay of politics here in the United States. Drastic times call for drastic measures.
When something is proclaiming to be in the interest of the public, but is really only serving to exclude additional voices from interfering with the two dominant parties, someone has to take action.
