'Massive' war protest could land at GOP convention's doorstep:
Twin Cities antiwar leaders on Thursday announced the route for a march that they said will be a "massive demonstration" at next year's Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
Whether St. Paul police and the Secret Service will permit such a route remains to be seen.
"Permits are not granted until about six months before the event," said Tom Walsh, a St. Paul police spokesman. "So they can make any plan they choose, but we have no comment on it."
The Secret Service is expected to establish a perimeter around the convention, which will be held at the Xcel Energy Center, so it is unclear how close protesters will be allowed. At previous conventions, delays in issuing permits have sparked lawsuits. The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota has said it is exploring that possibility here.
It's going be a crazy week in September of aught-eight.
