AUSTIN, Texas (AP) _ Former New York Gov. George Pataki joined about a dozen Texas lawmakers at the state Capitol to protest the federal health care bill.
Pataki, who’s a Republican, is leading the Revere America petition drive to gather 1 million signatures in support of repealing the bill. Tuesday’s stop in Austin was part of a
three-day, six-state tour.
The rally drew a small but enthusiastic crowd of about 100 people. Speakers included Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and state Attorney General Greg Abbott, who has filed a lawsuit against the federal health care bill, calling it unconstitutional.
