The Twin Towers Alliance Petition

The statement below rings as true in 2011 as it did in 2006. The thousands of comments that have been left over the years are just the tip of an iceberg. The question for those who consider adding their names to the petition is not will new state-of-the-art Twin Towers be built, which no one knows, but should new Twin Towers be built, with which most of us have always agreed.

We, the undersigned, share the belief that nothing could be more inspiring to our people, or disheartening to our enemies, than Twin Towers, at least as tall as before in every respect, soaring above Ground Zero.

We believe that the devastation of September 11, 2001 clouded the picture long after the rubble was cleared away and that a thorough public examination of the rebuilding option is overdue and now required before proceeding on an unalterable course.

We recognize no financial or political roadblocks that cannot be overcome if rebuilding the Towers is the will of the people. And, we see no conflict between stunning Twin Towers and a noble Memorial, which belong together on this site that means so much to us all.

We submit that there is only one way to truly heal the skyline of Manhattan and the heart of America: Rebuild the Twin Towers. Doing anything less would leave a permanent scar on the face of New York and diminish a legendary city.

    I cant tell you how much it would mean to me to see those towers go back up. i know so many people who did not make it, and New York City has never been the same for me. every person i have talked to agrees with me that those towers belong in NYC’s skyline. i will never forget what i saw that day, and to have those towers back would mean the world.

    As a kid growing up in Jersey City, the image of the twin towers standing is everything to me. For 15 years I seen those towers day and nite so please rebuild it and restore the skyline to its glory. My father worked in those towers for years including 911 and spending time there with him were some of the greatest memories I have. Let others enjoy this just like I have. Rebuild them please!

    I would rather like the TwinTowers2 in a New York skyline than some modern building, which some people want to make New York modern, but i think it’s rather sick.. it’s what suites New York best, and the Twin Towers do that job perfectly!

  • signature permalink Steve Fisher 1/9/2011

    I think we should rebuild the towers because the terrorists taking them from us and us not rebuilding them is almost like letting them win. We need to rebuild them and make them better than ever to show them America can overcome anything. God Bless America.

    I think it’s important to rebuild the twin towers to show the world and ourselves that we stick together and become stronger. The point of rebuilding the twin towers is to show the importance of remembering and not to forget. Remember the Alamo!

  • signature permalink Stelios Makrinos 3/5/2010

    Only rebuilding a set of twin towers can properly do justice to all of the people affected in any way by the events on the 11th of September and the weeks, months, and years that have followed.

    The Twin Towers are all I live for. I used to go to them once a week, just to stare at their amazing beauty. But one week i happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. I saw things that still haunt me, and the only thing that will ever really help me cope, is seeing the twin towers, standing tall, strong and proud. I have to beleive in my heart, I will be visiting the twin towers every week again. I just have to.

  • signature permalink Jay Gerber * 8/22/2009

    It hurts forever when I seen and stood a block and half away from the attacks. To put up stronger towers would bring a light back in my heart and others. This is for us, not the government.

    Re-build the Twin Towers!!

  • signature permalink Amber Shepperd 5/28/2009

    I would love to see the twin towers built back like they were. I think that there would be no bigger inspiration to Americans than to see how far we have come and no bigger smack in the face to the terrorists.

    Too many people lost a loved one on September 11th and it’s not fair that they have to live with the horrible reminder that they are gone everyday by looking at the empty space in the New York skyline. I’m all for re-building the Twin Towers and the day that happens will be the happiest day of my life. *Bring on the Towers! Bring back the brothers. Bring back this world.*

  • signature permalink Gwen Anderson 3/7/2009

    I am all for re-building the BEAUTIFUL TWIN TOWERS!!
    God Bless each and every family member who lost a loved one in this terrible tragedy! This was indeed a sad day for all Americans and those across the world who have a heart!!!

  • signature permalink King Casiano * 1/29/2009

    I can’t believe there was no public debate about the WTC Site. Behind closed doors former Governor George Pataki allow Libeskind to build his horrible plan for the WTC Site. After the police got involved they chose the current plan that is being implemented. I am astonished that these politicians don’t listen to the victims or the citizens in regards to the rebuilding of the Twin Towers. What better way to say “F-You” to the terrorists by rebuilding the Twin Towers again? God bless America.

  • signature permalink Dale Bachu * 6/19/2008

    My wife was in the towers when the first plane struck and thankfully made it out. We both feel very strongly about the towers being rebuilt, anything less would be a victory for 19 individuals and would basically be a 1700 ft white flag muddying our once beautiful skyline.

  • signature permalink taylor smith 5/18/2008

    please rebuild, although i lost someone very close to me and i know i can never get them back, the towers should be rebuilt the way they were before! time goes on and we must carry on. a new tower with a new design says we have forgotten. but if we go with the old look, it says. we are strong and we carry on, through the ups and downs. we are one nation, for justice and all.

    These towers should have been built by now! Those middle easterners think we’ll never get them built and are laughing – saying it serves the infedels right!

    So……Let’s get them up stronger and taller than before – and then ask God’s protection for the people who work within them.

    May those who died in the attack of Sept.11,2001 to be in god’s glory always and forever. I always remembered and will remember the World Trade Center as the heart of manhattan. It’s sad to remember the times of visting the twin towers, taking pictures and taking tours…I still believe the World Trade Center should be rebuilt again to keep our memories alive, to start new careers, and to feel more power no matter what happened…God bless america! R.I.P for those innocent lives. Love, carolyn

    The towers are an integral part of this city. Better that the upper floors go unoccupied than to turn this site into something unfamiliar and alien. The current design is strange, compromised and without the soul and the character of what the towers now stand for.

    I am a native of Brooklyn, I now live in Athens Greece, but NY has never left my heart. I believe that the towers should be rebuilt, I agree that doing anything else but that will diminish a legendary city and a breath taking skyline.

  • signature permalink Andrew Hogan 4/20/2007

    I am from Australia and I am of a firm belief that even after all the Losses of human life and hurt that many suffered,the twin towers should be rebuilt bigger and better that before and be named the PEOPLES TOWERS.
