Health law opponents launch tour
Group plans to collect signatures on petition calling for repeal.
Opponents of the health-care law haven't given up yet.
An advocacy group that wants to repeal the Democratic overhaul has kicked off a nationwide campaign to collect petition signatures.
Revere America, a group created by former New York Governor George Pataki, kicked off a 10-state tour in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. Members of the group led a similar tour through 11 states earlier this summer.
"The more people find out, the more they oppose the national takeover of health care," Pataki said.
More than 150,000 people have already signed the petition calling for a repeal of the law. The group hopes to collect 1 million signatures, but it's unclear what they will do with them.
