An excerpt...
"In 1982, Jim Ferlo first came to public attention in Pittsburgh when he was a leader in the fight to persuade Nabisco Corp. to keep its East Liberty plant open.
His role as a community activist in that cause and many others eventually led to his election to City Council. After more than a decade there, the Lawrenceville resident was elected state senator in 2002.
But the button-down atmosphere in Harrisburg has done little to take the street-fighter instinct away from Ferlo.
That was evident yesterday when Ferlo, an outspoken critic of U.S. involvement in Iraq, flew to Crawford, Texas, to join Cindy Sheehan's vigil outside President Bush's ranch.
Sheehan, the Vacaville, Calif., woman whose son was killed in Iraq and who is president of Gold Star Families for Peace, has been outside Bush's ranch during his five-week working vacation, asking for a meeting with the president to discuss the war." |
