Austin brothers who heckled Obama got meeting with president instead
Juan and Mizraim Belman were admittedly scared as they prepared to heckle the most powerful man in the free world.
They were in the audience Thursday for President Barack Obama’s speech at the Paramount Theatre when they both stood up and began yelling at the commander in chief, demanding immigration reform.
The brothers are both immigrants living in the U.S. without legal authorization who have called Austin home for 11 years. They began shouting for Obama to end the deportation of people like their mother, who could face deportation at any time.
“My brother and I, we were very nervous to get in front of him and interrupt his speech,” said Mizraim Belman, a 16-year-old junior at Crockett High School. “We knew that this was our opportunity, our families can’t wait any more.”

That I couldn't type a coherent response. I decided to take a quiet sit in my back yard with my dog and watch the birds come in for their nightly sip 'n' bath.
I narrowed my thoughts down to this: Good on the President - and - Shame on Texas for it's hypocrisy.
Oh, I'm glad to see your sister aboard. 
I'm a bit more to the left of her on some of the social and economic issues, but she is willing to venture more into issues affecting women than I am. It's not that I am unsympathetic--it's because I have more to learn from people with more expertise and I don't want to stick the proverbial foot in the mouth.
She started off in banking and finance after college, then switched to become a registered nurse in the middle of her career. She has two boys at home so she won't be as prolific a poster as I am, but when she has something to say people will take notice. 
I think she would also have a bit to say about health care.
Here is a 
to you both.
