Buffalo--Dr. Jill Rowland, a dentist and candidate for The House of Representatives in the 28th district of New York, today offered to provide free dentures to the Louise Slaughter constituent made famous at the White House Health Care Summit for wearing her dead sisters teeth because she lacked dentures (See video link below). Slaughter, whose office claims they learned of the story from Dr. Lavonne Ansari of the Community Health Center of Buffalo never mentioned the woman by name, only referring to her as a constituent.
Candidate Rowland commented, "While the work that Dr. Ansari and her husband Imam Fajri Ansari do in the Buffalo community is laudable, when Dr. Ansari and Representative Slaughter exploit individuals in order to pass an unpopular piece of legislation, a piece of legislation that does nothing to deal with the runaway costs and other serious problems in our health care system, they must be held accountable."
Rowland continued, "What is funny is that Louise Slaughter was willing to attend a healthcare summit in Washington with President Obama and Nancy Pelosi but she never found the time to hold a single town hall meeting for her own constituents. It just goes to show you what a creature of Washington Louise Slaughter has become and how out of touch she is with the people of Western New York. Twenty four years in Washington will do that to you."
Nowhere in the thousands of pages of the new health care law is coverage for dentures even mentioned. "Is it really too much to ask our members of Congress to know what is in a bill before passing it? And these are the people that we are supposed to depend on to help provide a business friendly environment that will help create jobs" asked Rowland. "Really?"

Dr. Rowland ACTUALLY HELPS that same person
The Obama administration will probably throw Rowland in jail for violating some obscure election law prohibiting the promise of free dentures within 15 days of an election.
