(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of April 8, 2007, a grand rally to support withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations was held on Union Square in Manhattan, New York City. Surrounded by several large banners, more than ten speakers gave speeches exposing the CCP's violent regime and the prospect of a new China without the CCP. On site there were people to help others quit the CCP. Some Chinese people called the hotline at the Sound of Hope radio station and announced that they were quitting the CCP using their real names.

Rally supporting quitting the CCP held on Union Square in Manhattan

Editor-in-chief of The Epoch Times English edition, John Nania, said that eliminating the CCP is not only beneficial to China, but to the whole world

"Quit the CCP for Your Own Safety and Good Fortune"

Gao Dawei from the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP gave the first speech. He said that the activity themed "The Evil CCP has Been Uprooted" across the world won support from people of justice and nearly one hundred groups. The activity led to a new round of people quitting the CCP. He said, "The CCP regime is very scared under the impact of the tide of quitting the CCP due to the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. The current situation in China can be summarized in one sentence, 'Public being awakened, army wavering, and party collapsing'."

Mr. Gao said, "In China there are two sayings now, 'Quitting CCP for your own safety, and quitting the CCP for good fortune.' Behind the sayings, there are tens of thousands of true stories. For example, the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP often receives calls from CCP internal systems, political and judicial systems, including even police from the 610 Office, about quitting the CCP. They provided many examples of those who persecuted Falun Gong receiving karmic retribution. In one case, the head of a police department who persecuted Falun Gong committed suicide. This shocked the political and judicial system in Anhui Province."

Mr. Gao summarized, "Heaven's destruction of the CCP is imminent. The time is more and more urgent. The risk of quitting the CCP is smaller since the CCP has been uprooted." He called on people to quit the CCP bravely and welcome a beautiful future.

The Day of Bringing the CCP to Justice is Near

Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott, Vice President of the European Parliament, knew that there were many people participating in the rally and sent a support letter. He also made a live phone call to support the rally on the spot, and hoped that it would be broadcast into China via Sound of Hope radio.

Mr. McMillan-Scott greeted all the Chinese who were quitting the CCP, and the people at the rally. Every day there is new evidence exposing the CCP's inhuman crimes. But each day for Chinese people is one day closer to freedom. And each day is one day closer to the CCP being brought to justice.

He mentioned human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, as well as Falun Gong practitioners Zhang Lianying and Cao Dong being persecuted by the CCP. He said that the new President of the European Parliament expressed his concerns about the CCP regime relating to this case.

Quitting the CCP is Not Only Beneficial to China, but Also to the World

Mr. John Nania, editor-in-chief of The Epoch Times, English edition, said that eliminating the CCP is not only beneficial to China, but to the whole world. China has a five-thousand year history of civilization. But the CCP has been in control for only fifty years. After eliminating the CCP's control, China will blossom and be prosperous again. If China is prosperous as it was during its five-thousand year history, it will benefit the world and all people.

Mr. Nania called on all governments and people to support the brave Chinese people who are quitting the CCP. If everyone does this, China's winter will end soon. He called on all people throughout the world to read the Nine Commentaries and understand why they should quit the party.

Unprecedented International Investigation

Mr. Wang Zhiyuan from the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) said that the organization has basically finished investigating the CCP's crimes of persecuting Falun Gong, including the CCP's systematic persecution of Falun Gong, the staged self-immolation incident on Tiananmen Square, organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, and those persons executing the persecution.

He pointed out, "The crimes of the Nazis and the communist parties in Eastern Europe were investigated after their regimes were overthrown. The critics of the communist party in Eastern Europe now proceed in policy only. The CIPFG's investigation is conducted as the persecution is ongoing, which frightens the perpetrators. It is unprecedented."

Public Quits the CCP on Site - People's Wishes Fulfilled

The rally had a warm environment. People announced their desires to quit the CCP on site one after another. Zheng Kexue and another six members of the Chinese Democracy and Justice Party, as well as Chairman Wang Jun and another eight members of the Chinese Democracy Party World Union announced that they were quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations on the spot.

Eleven people, including Li Fengqin from Hebei Province, Huang Qing from Fujian Province and Wang Yuehua from Shanghai, announced they were quitting the CCP at the rally using their true names, through a hotline from Sound of Hope radio.

Members of the Chinese Peace and Democracy Union announced quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations on the spot.

Lu Dong, former General Secretary of the Communist Youth League, from the Department of Foreign Languages at Fudan University in Shanghai, gave a speech at the rally. He said he once had hopes of the CCP reforming internally, and he supported the CCP's interests overseas. But due to the fact that China's reform is controlled by the CCP, he was awakened. He announced he was quitting the CCP and the pro-CCP organization, the "Chinese Overseas Student Association," on the spot. He called on overseas Chinese students who wait and see to recognize the evil nature of the CCP and the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong.

The rally lasted about three hours and ended after 4:00 p.m.
