Obama
Campaign Volunteer Poses as a Doctor at a Town Hall Meeting-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor: A forwarded email about a woman named Roxana
Mayer who asked a question about HR-3200, the proposed health care bill of
Congressional Representative Sheila Jackson Lee at a town hall meeting.
Mayer told Representative Jackson that she was a general practitioner
and asked how HR-3200 would affect preventative care. The email
says Mayer is not a doctor but in fact a Obama state delegate.
The Truth: Roxana Mayer was at the town
hall meeting in Houston Texas where she told Representative Sheila Jackson Lee
that she was a general practitioner for four years and asked about HR-3200, the Proposed Health Care Bill.
According to a Lone Star Times August 13, 2009 article, Mayer admitted
to impersonating a physician at the town hall meeting. The paper said
she disclosed that information to Lone Star Times blogger David Jennings
in a phone interview. Mayer told Jennings that "she thought it would
help her credibility."
Mayer was an Obama
Campaign Volunteer and an Obama State Delegate for the Houston, Texas
area during the 2008 Election, according to the
BarackObama.com web site and an August 13, 2009 article that
appeared in the Houston Chronicle.

It is not known at
this time if Mayer was an intentional and rehearsed plant by the supporters of the
proposed health care package or if she acted on her own.

Roxana Mayer said she was a pediatric primary care physician at Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee's town hall meeting and that she was a supporter of
Obamacare.
One problem: She's not a doctor.
But, she was an Obama state delegate!
She's a campaign volunteer:
