Gingrich Launches Health Care Repeal Website

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's advocacy group American Solutions on Thursday launched a website to support congressional Republicans' fight to defund and repeal the health care reform law.

In an email to supporters, Gingrich described the new site, NoMoreObamaCare.com, as an "action center" for citizens who want to get involved in promoting efforts to repeal President Obama's signature domestic achievement.

The newly empowered Republican House intends to make health care repeal a focal point of its legislative agenda beginning with a vote for full repeal scheduled for next week. The repeal effort that is widely expected to die in the Senate.

"Repealing ObamaCare is going to be a long and challenging fight, but if the millions of people receiving this email all get involved, there is no doubt we will succeed," Gingrich wrote in the email to supporters.

The website contains a petition for repeal and a map that includes information on how users can get involved in the effort locally. The site also urges readers to contact their representatives in Congress and to write letters to the editor in favor of repeal.

Gingrich said that the new site will feature the latest news on repeal efforts and views on how the health care reform law is impacting the economy.

Like the other potential Republican presidential candidates, Gingrich has been a longtime critic of the health care reform law. Last month, he lauded the Virginia court ruling that declared the individual mandate included in the law to be unconstitutional, calling it a "huge victory" in what was shaping up to be a "very long, difficult fight."
