=======================================================
早安，支持人權的朋友們，支持民主的朋友們，以及支持法輪功修煉者的朋友們，早安。
我們今天在這裡集會是為了支持全世界尤其在中國大陸內的2400萬勇士退出中國共產黨及其相關組織。我依然記得很清楚，大約兩年多以前，我們也在華盛頓DC 集會聲援第一個100萬勇士退出中國共產黨及其相關組織。
也就是說，在短短的兩年之間，我們已經歡迎了其他2300萬的勇士退出了中國共產黨，以及其他的相關組織。
為什麼會這樣？為什麼會有這樣的形式？為什麼這個精神運動這麼強大，有力？我確定每一位在場的朋友都會告訴我，那是因為「九評共產黨」！
「九評共產黨」 大約是在兩年前由大紀元時報所出版的一系列的文章，第一次將共產黨以及共產黨極權政府的真正本質揭露出來。讀了「九評共產黨」，我們都了解了共產黨是由謊言與暴亂所組成的一個組織。
所以，我們今天在這裡集會，來支持2400萬勇士退出中國共產黨及其相關組織。
在過去的兩年裡，法輪功的學員們和全世界所有覺醒的人們，都在傳播九評的真相以及中國共產黨將要解體的消息。現在中國共產黨即將走出歷史，即將永遠的消滅了。所以，這就是我們為什麼會在這裡的原因。這就是我們為什麼會在這裡支持這個偉大的運動，這是一個歷史的運動，一個人類的運動。
許多人不了解中國共產黨的邪惡本質是因為他們被中國共產黨所製造出來的謊言所欺騙。中國共產黨看起來如此的美好，但是它是騙人的，它所製造出來的謊言假象迷住了人們的雙眼。感謝「九評共產黨」，我們現在知道了中國共產黨的邪惡本質。這就是我們今天在這裡集會的原因。
我相信中國共產黨的日子不長了。歷史一再重複的告訴我們。邪惡結束的時間通常都比我們想像的時間要早。它們通常看起來很強大，但是卻一下子就垮了。
東歐的一些共產主義國家，蘇聯的共產主義，以及像前德國的納粹主義，它們都走下了歷史。
所以在知道了這些事實之後，我們不需要害怕。在知道了這些事實之後，我們站在這裡，不只是支持我們的理念，我們也支持我們的歷史。讓我們所有的人記住今天這個日子，讓我們都迎接一個新的中國，一個新的世界，以及一個新的人類。
謝謝！
Good morning friends, good morning friends of human rights, friends of democracy and friends of all Falun Gong practitioners, good morning.
Today we are gathering here to support 24 million people, courageous people who quit CCP and their associate associations all over the world especially in mainland China.
I still remember vividly a little bit more than 2 years ago, we gathered here in Washington DC also in support of the first million people, first one million people who quit CCP.
So that is to say, in only two short years, we welcomed another 23 million people who quit CCP and all their associate organizations.
Why is that? Why is the form? Why is the movement so powerful, so strong? I am sure everyone here in this site will tell me, it’s “Nine Commentaries”!
The “Nine Commentaries” released by Epoch Times around two years ago, was the first time reveal the true nature of the Communist Party and also Communist Regime. By reading the “Nine Commentaries”, we all know Communist is the lies, and violence that organize the organization, communist party.
So today we are gathering here to support of these 24 million courageous people who quit CCP and their associate organizations.
In the past 2 years, Falun Gong practitioners and all the awaken people around the world all try to spread the news of Nine Commentaries and spread the news about of how the CCP is going to terminated. Now the CCP is going to step out from the history and will be eliminated forever. So that’s why we are here. That’s why we are here to support this courageous movement, a movement of the history, a movement of human kind.
Many people who did not know of the nature of Chinese Communist Party because of they were cheated by the intended lies by the Chinese Communist Party. The Chinese Communist Party looks so good but they are telling lies, there are producing these lies and put into people’s eyes. But thanks to the Nine Commentaries, we now know the truth of Chinese Communist Party. That’s why we are here today.
I am sure days wouldn’t be long for the CCP. History tells us repeatedly over and over again. Evil usually end earlier than people can imagine. They often looks very strong, but all of sudden it is gone.
Some in Communism in Eastern European Countries, some in Communism in Soviet Union and same as Nazism in the former Germany﹐
They all stepped out from the history.
So by knowing the truth, we don’t want to fear. By knowing the truth, we stand here, we not only support our will, but we support our history。
Let’s all remember this day. Let’s all welcome a new China, a new world and a new human race.
Thank you all.
