Revere America Collects 125,000 Signatures on Petition to Repeal and Replace the Health Care Reform Bill in Just 6 Weeks
Washington – Governor George Pataki, Chairman of Revere America, announced today that the organization has collected more than 125,000 signatures from Americans in all 50 states who want to repeal and replace the health care reform bill.
This milestone comes on the heels of a national poll conducted by Rasmussen that showed 63% of likely voters want to repeal the national health care law.
Pataki said:
“In just six short weeks, 125,000 Americans from every walk of life and every corner of our country have signed the Revere America petition to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
“In March, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi proclaimed that Congress needed to pass ObamaCare so the American people could find out what was in the legislation.
“Well, Madam Speaker, the more people find out, the more they oppose the national takeover of health care. That’s why 63% of likely voters want the law repealed. And it’s why Revere America’s petition to repeal and replace ObamaCare has so quickly gained unprecedented traction in all 50 states as we work to collect one million signatures to deliver to Washington.”
