Marty O'Malley, a Forest Hills council member and Vietnam veteran, paces outside the Downtown office of U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle on Thursday. He was waiting for an anti-war petition that he planned to present to the congressman's office, but the person with it did not show.
Three protesters, a half-dozen signs and a missing petition.
"People walk past and say, 'I'm glad you're doing something,'" said Marty O'Malley, a Forest Hills council member who has attended more than 100 anti-Iraq war events, as he stood in front of Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle's Downtown office last week with the small gathering of activists.
"I want to shake them and say, 'Why aren't you doing something!?'"
What hurts most is when kids throw road apples at them. |
