The petition-signing event kicked off its national campaign to gather the signatures of one million Americans who want to repeal and replace &quot;ObamaCare.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The event coincided with the 235th anniversary of Paul Revere&#8217;s famous ride for freedom. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Just as 235 years ago our freedoms were in danger, they are now as well,&quot; the former governor said at the rally, quoted by <i>NECN.com<\/i>, a news website. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;We can&#8217;t wait until 2012 to take back this country. We have to do it in 2010, and every single day this year counts,&quot; he added. <\/p>\n<p>The next day, Pataki was continuing his campaign for signatures in Iowa, where he explained why he decided to return to the national stage. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;I was happy as a private citizen,&quot; he said, quoted by Radio Iowa, &quot;but when I see what is happening in Washington over the course of the last year and a half, like most Americans I believe we are seeing a government that is dramatically headed in the wrong direction.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Pataki is chairman of Revere America and served as the 53rd Governor of New York from 1995 to 2006. <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-1961-ID-19735026-ADNFCR\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.directnews.co.uk\/feedtrack\/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1961&amp;itemid=19735026\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former New York Governor George Pataki was in Boston on April 18 to launch a petition that proposes to repeal the Obama administration&#8217;s healthcare overhaul.
