| Description | Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched past the Madison Square Garden site of the Republican National Convention on Sunday, chanting, blowing whistles and carrying anti-war banners as delegates gathered to nominate President Bush for a second term.
On the eve of the convention, the demonstrators packed the street from sidewalk to sidewalk for 20 blocks as they slowly filed past. ``Hope is in the air, help is on the way,'' civil rights leader Jesse Jackson said through a bullhorn.
``The majority of this country wants the Bush administration out of office,'' filmmaker and Bush critic Michael Moore told the crowd. A large banner said, ``Save America. Defeat Bush.'' People poked their heads out of apartment windows to watch the marchers in the sweltering heat. |
