Mr. David Miscavige RTC Keynote address

Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology New York

U.S. Congressman Charles B. Rangel
Guest Speaker at the Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology New York

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You can not really believe how beautiful this meeting is, but looking from here as far as you can see, you can see beautiful people of all colors, of all cultures, of all religious backgrounds, and that truly is what the Church Of Scientology is all about.

Right here with us is my long and dear friend, Benjamin Gillman — Jewish by faith, but in his heart, he has gone all over the world as the Chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the United States House of Representatives, fighting ignorance, disease, drug addiction, throughout his life and what a great thing to see and hear with us.

From the United Nations, just a few blocks from where we are, we have Maurice Strong, working for Kofi Annan in trying to bring peace and fighting poverty and disease throughout the world — a true fighter that has the courage to say, "no matter how strong and powerful a nation is, it has to respect international law," and we thank you for that fight and that struggle.

All the way from Florida — not running away from the hurricanes, but running toward democracy, with a button that you may see, "don’t forget Florida," and they’re not talking about as a resort. But Coreen Brown, Congresswoman Brown believes that every vote counts, and she wants them counted in Florida for a change.
