Wei Jingsheng Speaks to Thousands of People at the Rally: "Quit the Communist Party; Awaken People's Conscience" (from: The Epoch Times)

On July 13, 2012, nearly 5,000 people held a rally at the Washington Monument in Washington, DC, USA. They were Falun Gong practitioners from around the world, and representatives of non-governmental organizations and human rights organizations. The rally was held in solidarity against the persecution of Falun Gong in the past 13 years and to celebrate the one hundred and twenty million Chinese people who have quit the Chinese Communist Party, its Youth League, and related teams and organizations.

During the rally lasting nearly two hours, nine speakers said that in the past thirteen years the Falun Gong practitioners' peaceful ways against persecution have been inspiring, moving, and have lead progress in China. The indomitable spirit of Falun Gong practitioners has encouraged many Chinese people. Their assistance and advice for the Chinese people to quit the Communist Party, its Youth League, and related teams and organizations have defined a moral choice to keep the evil away and be close to goodness spiritually, thus to obtain salvation.

Dr. Yu Jianmei presided over the rally. The Chairman of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, Mr. Wei Jingsheng, congratulated the more than one hundred twenty million Chinese people who have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its Youth League, and related teams and organizations due to the efforts of Falun Gong practitioners.

Mr. Wei said that the number of Chinese who have quit these organizations indicates that many Chinese people are awakening.

He thinks that this movement initiated by the Falun Gong practitioners has truly awaked the Chinese people, and the Chinese incidents of group resistance have also been affected by the impact of the quitting the CCP tide. The end of the Communist regime is near. He said, "More and more people are awakening from the Chinese Communist brainwashing. People who quit from the Communist Party and related organizations are awakening faster and faster. This movement is stimulating peoples' consciences to keep a distance from the CCP in their hearts and refuse being controlled by the CCP. Even many officials have already or are on their way to leaving the CCP. The Communist regime itself also knows that it has no legitimacy. "

He pledged to work together and work harder together with everyone. He said that only by getting rid of the control of the Communist Party would China have a future.

魏京生在数千民众参加的声援中国退党潮大集会上讲话：三退唤醒民众良知（来源：大纪元时报）

2012年7月13日，来自世界各地的部份法轮功学员、非政府机构代表、人权组织代表、各界正义人士近五千人聚集在美国首都华府纪念碑广场，举行声援法轮功反迫害13年并庆贺一亿两千万中国民众退出中共党、团、队等相关组织的大集会。

在近两个小时的集会上，九位演讲者表示十三年来法轮功学员平和的反迫害激励人心、感召天地，在带领中国进步。法轮功学员不屈不饶的精神鼓励了无数中国人，他们协助和劝谕中国民众退党（团队），在精神上进行远恶近善的道德选择，从而获得生命救赎。

于建梅博士主持集会。中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生先生祝贺已有超过一亿两千万中国民众在法轮功学员的努力下退出中共党、团、队等相关组织。

魏京生先生说，三退包括退出中共党、团和少先队组织，现在人数已经超过一亿二千万，说明很多中国民众在觉醒。

他认为法轮功学员发起的三退运动真正唤醒了中国民众，中国群体事件也受三退大潮影响，中共的日子不长了。他说，“从中共洗脑中觉醒的人越来越多，（三退）速度越来越快。三退运动唤醒中国人的良知，在内心和共产党保持距离，不再受中共控制，甚至很多当官的人内心都已摆脱或正在摆脱中共。中共也知道自己完全没有合法性。”

他承诺会和大家一起努力、一起加把劲，只有不受中共控制，中国才有前途。
