=======================================================
早安，支持人权的朋友们，支持民主的朋友们，以及支持法轮功修炼者的朋友们，早安。
我们今天在这里集会是为了支持全世界尤其在中国大陆内的2400万勇士退出中国共产党及其相关组织。我依然记得很清楚，大约两年多以前，我们也在华盛顿DC 集会声援第一个100万勇士退出中国共产党及其相关组织。
也就是说，在短短的两年之间，我们已经欢迎了其他2300万的勇士退出了中国共产党，以及其他的相关组织。
为什么会这样？为什么会有这样的形式？为什么这个精神运动这么强大，有力？我确定每一位在场的朋友都会告诉我，那是因为“九评共产党”！
“九评共产党” 大约是在两年前由大纪元时报所出版的一系列的文章，第一次将共产党以及共产党极权政府的真正本质揭露出来。读了“九评共产党”，我们都了解了共产党是由谎言与暴乱所组成的一个组织。
所以，我们今天在这里集会，来支持2400万勇士退出中国共产党及其相关组织。
在过去的两年里，法轮功的学员们和全世界所有觉醒的人们，都在传播九评的真相以及中国共产党将要解体的消息。现在中国共产党即将走出历史，即将永远的消灭了。所以，这就是我们为什么会在这里的原因。这就是我们为什么会在这里支持这个伟大的运动，这是一个历史的运动，一个人类的运动。
许多人不了解中国共产党的邪恶本质是因为他们被中国共产党所制造出来的谎言所欺骗。中国共产党看起来如此的美好，但是它是骗人的，它所制造出来的谎言假象迷住了人们的双眼。感谢“九评共产党”，我们现在知道了中国共产党的邪恶本质。这就是我们今天在这里集会的原因。
我相信中国共产党的日子不长了。历史一再重复的告诉我们。邪恶结束的时间通常都比我们想像的时间要早。它们通常看起来很强大，但是却一下子就垮了。
东欧的一些共产主义国家，苏联的共产主义，以及像前德国的纳粹主义，它们都走下了历史。
所以在知道了这些事实之后，我们不需要害怕。在知道了这些事实之后，我们站在这里，不只是支持我们的理念，我们也支持我们的历史。让我们所有的人记住今天这个日子，让我们都迎接一个新的中国，一个新的世界，以及一个新的人类。
谢谢！
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.
