DETROIT, MICHIGAN JOINS GLOBAL RALLY TO CELEBRATE CAPITALISM!

DETROIT, MI - Detroit joins over one hundred cities around the world participating in "WalkForCapitalism", the first ever global rally for Capitalism.  Scheduled for December 2, 2001, individuals from every corner of the globe, and from every walk of life are being invited to "defend, promote, and celebrate" individual rights, free trade, private property, creativity, technology and profit.

ROBERT NASIR, an area computer systems engineer and Detroit Coordinator for Walk For Capitalism explained that his group will walk from the Renaissance Center in the heart of downtown Detroit, to the Pontchartrain building, then to Hart Plaza to speak on the history, the present state, and the future of Capitalism.

"Detroit is the global headquarters of many outstanding examples of the efficacy, the beneficence and the glory of Capitalism," said Mr. Nasir. "General Motors, the world's largest industrial corporation, has recently purchased, and is completing their move into, the Renaissance Center, making the site a particularly appropriate starting point for our Walk."

Melbourne based internet radio presenter and professional street performer, PRODOS, founder and coordinator of the campaign, reported that planning had begun two months before the World Trade Center attack, but the terrorist bombing had caused participation to double. Cities also taking part include: New York, Moscow, Hong Kong, Seattle, Gothenburg, Oslo, Washington, London, Brussels, Melbourne, Auckland, Paris, Prague, and others.

"The spirit of the rallies will be festive and positive," said PRODOS. "We offer a hand of support and friendship to the independent thinkers, creators and producers of the world - to whom we owe so much." He described anti-capitalist activists as "Nihilists who openly endorse using violence against anyone disagreeing with them." And said that there was no place for this in a civilized society. He added that "It was now time for the world to choose between the kind of positive, constructive capitalist principles that built the World Trade Center versus the kind which fuelled its vicious destruction, killing and injuring thousands of innocent people."

New York Philosopher, DR ANDREW BERNSTEIN, author of the campaign's position statement explained, "Mankind's greatest inventions and works of art - his most life-giving material and spiritual advances - from the steam engine to the cinema, from the novel to the Internet, and countless medical cures, ideas and inventions - were all created under capitalism. The more capitalist a culture, the greater its freedom and prosperity."

Also, as part of WalkForCapitalism, participating cities will present the inaugural international "Capitalism Awards" and celebrate the launch of "Capitalism Day."
