Yahoo! News - Stage Set for Huge Anti-Bush March in New York
NEW YORK (Reuters) - They have protested naked, used pedal power, marched and rung bells in the days leading up to the Republican convention, but on Sunday political activists were expected to turn out in the hundreds of thousands to rally against President Bush's policies.

Tensions are high between activists and police, who have negotiated for months over Sunday's planned march past the Madison Square Garden convention site by up to 250,000 people under the banner, "The World Says No To The Bush Agenda."

Protesters were denied a permit to gather in Central Park after the march because city officials feared damage to the grass, but many demonstrators have vowed to go to the park anyway and that is when many fear arrests.

Go get 'em kids, but be cool. Peaceful protest does more to win people over.
