We at Impeach for Peace want to extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the victims involved and their families.  Impeach for Peace is based in Minneapolis so this hits close to home.  Impeach for Peace organizers have struggled with how our organization should respond now that President Bush is planning to visit Minneapolis on Saturday.  We don&#8217;t want to appear as if we are using this tragedy to our political advantage, nor do we wish for Bush to do so.  What we&#8217;ve decided is that we&#8217;re going to encourage citizens of Minneapolis to protest with the message, &#8220;Bridges not Bombs.&#8221;  We have decided to exclude the concept of impeachment from this protest so as not to disrespect the seriousness of the tragedy with what many see as a partisan issue.  While Impeach for Peace doesn&#8217;t blame Bush for this specific tragedy, we do see this event as being endemic of a larger failure of priorities.  This administration has put the country&#8217;s resources into unjustified military actions instead of investing in our national infrastructure. Bush will be speaking at the I-35 Bridge on Saturday.  <\/p>\n<p> &#8211;UPDATE &#8230; We heard of another group meeting at the Guthrie on Washington St., but we&#8217;ve not heard a definitive time for Bush&#8217;s visit yet.  We&#8217;re planning on meeting at 9:30am at the Guthrie (818 S 2nd St,  Meet at the walkway between the Mill CityMuseum and the Guthrie), and possibly marching to the best spot, once more details become available.  I&#8217;m not sure where the best place to park is, but I know that there is street parking around 5th Ave and 3rd St.  If you are coming from the south, the light rail is one excellent option and an opportunity to talk to other commuters!  Please revisit this webpage to get the specific time as we get closer to the event, and please forward this to all your friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":13024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[122,5,4,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bush_era","category-ifp-events","category-impeachment-news","category-minnesota"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Minneapolis: &#039;Bridges Not Bombs&#039; Protest, Saturday &#8226; Impeach for Peace<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Citizen&#039;s impeach strategy.
