November 04, 2010 — Revere America-Backed Candidates Elected to Congress
Demand for Repealing and Replacing Healthcare Reform Ushers in Sweeping Change
Washington, DC- Former New York Governor George Pataki, Chairman of Revere America, today congratulated the newly elected Members of Congress it supported in Tuesday’s election.
“The people have sent an unmistakable message,” said Gov. Pataki. “They have had enough of burdensome regulation. They want control over their healthcare and they want broad based, common sense reform that has widespread support. We will look to these new legislators for leadership in repealing and replacing a policy of questionable constitutionality.”
Revere America targeted key races in which the incumbent supported the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and helped to elect forty-four (44) new Representatives and Senators. They also ran hard hitting television ads in targeted districts, sent out 300,000 letters to voters, as well as automated phone calls by Gov. Pataki. Gov. Pataki campaigned in New York, Iowa, California, Michigan, Massachusetts, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania. New Members elected with assistance from Revere America include:

Minority Leader John Boehner became the first Member of Congress to sign Revere America’s pledge to repeal and replace the healthcare law. More than one million Americans have now signed the Revere America petition to repeal the healthcare law—and more are signing every day. Revere America also made significant outreach to younger voters this election season through the “Young Reveres,” a group of Generation Y brothers who brought the repeal and replace message to 11 states and Washington, D.C.
