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.

The towers were an important part of the most recognized skyline in the world. They were unique and we should not accept any substitutes.

I was lucky enough to experience eating on the highest floor of the twin towers, and to stand on the roof of the other one. Just two months before this happened. I thank God with all my heart that I got to experience this and get pictures before they were gone. No other building will ever take the place of these towers. Screw the Empire State building. I want the twin towers back, there is no greater way to show how strong we are! SAME HEIGHT, SAME DESIGN! Justin P!

Rebuild The TOWERS. Make them bigger and better so that they are reminiscent of the NY skyline of old but slightly more “magnified” and “more magnificent” than before. JHR

I have always loved the sight of the Twin Towers. I go to school in Downtown Brooklyn and I am always looking towards Lower Manhattan and not seeing the Twin Towers. I always imagine them still being there. I don’t want to imagine anymore. I want to see the real thing. Rebuild the Twin Towers!!!!

The Towers were an icon and such a familiar and beloved profile of the cityscape, much like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. They can ONLY be rebuilt — never replaced.

It looks as if the city is trying to emulate dubai with that ridiculous design. New York wouldn’t be New York without our original towers.

The twin towers were a monument to all Americans, and just because they were brought down, we should rebuild them to show that us Americans will never ever give up, and will always have pride!!!

money and politics should not desecrate this holy, tragic, honorable, day of infamy, site. the towers should return, bigger, safer and without costs considerations. bring back the towers, dont replace it with some cheap fancy buildings.

The _only_ way to show our respect is to put the _two_ buildings back.

Rebuild them now, just like they were or bigger even. It is time to do what everyone knows must be done, bring them Back. None of this Freedom Tower nonsense. Show the bastards that we can pick ourselves right back up from the ashes no matter what gets thrown at us. It would signify that we can come back just as strong as we were before if not stronger.
I will not forget. I have a very long memory.

To whom it may concern, Its been almost 7 years and we still have nothing to show for where the twin towers once stood. The freedom tower sounds nice, but I here it has serious design flaws, and I think it sends a message to the terroists that were afraid to rebuild the twin towers. What better way to show the world, the super power we really our by re-building the twin towers, and make them taller, and stronger. This will truly show that, “WE WILL NEVER FORGET”
Rebuild it!
The Twin Towers II is what we need!
Forget The Freedom Towers.
That’s a compromise!
It’s like getting knocked down and “kneeling” in submission to The Terrorist!
Build them stronger!
Build them taller!
Build them!
Like 2 middle fingers aimed at Terrorism!
From 9-12-2001 until present day this idea has been on my mind. The pentagon was not changed after the attacks on 9-11. If the Towers were left standing they would not have been torn down and a “Freedom Tower” built in its place. The Towers are an icon not just a building. Ladies and Gentlemen this is the United States of America. We do it bigger, better, stronger, and faster than anyone else. Lets make that known by our actions and not just idle chatter.
would be cool to see the twin towers again.
They built the Empire State building in a year. We need to rebuild the Twin Towers, perhaps the same as they were, but stronger and with no such weakness as in the original design. And we need to do it… now
Freedom’s Ring…
Cast down… shackled… dark, dank.
Alone…yearning, for a glimmer of light.
Vivid images racing, tormenting.
Shattered dreams of freedom,
suffering,hopeless despair;
Liberty”s light, beckons the patriots spirit.
If, only to hold..a single ray.
Grappling for life..the light of freedom.
Vanquishing the bonds of captivity;
Bursting forth, grasping the light… dreams.
Never too relinquish, guarded vigilantly.
Basking in freedoms light…
Your life,shackles,
The twin towers were obviously one of the most, if not the most, iconic features of New York City. They were the fusion of beauty, prestige, and simplicity. One great way to send a statement of American resolve against the fear and plight of terrorism would be to rebuild the very thing the terrorists took away. To rebuild the towers would not only restore a powerful symbol of New York, but send a clear message that our people and our country can and will rebuild anything our enemies destroy.
To hell with the absurd Fear Tower! If we were still a serious country the Twin Towers would be up at 150 STORIES!
Sadly, we are no longer a serious country.
I believe that they should be rebuilt the same way that they were before…and stronger! Nothing would raise more American pride after such a tragic and disheartening event then to prove how united and strong we are.
every one is still in my prayers. i am so glad they made the monument.they may try to hurt us ( our country or our military) but we are still the LAND OF THE FREE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I loved those buildings and I miss seeing them. The day that site is reborn will be the happiest day of my life and thats no stretch.
they should have been completed already.footprints preserved with new towers at reverse locations next to the original footprints serving as memorials.at least call that freedom thing the world trade center. it’s almost like the planners were happy they came down so now they could fix all that was wrong with the old sight,restore streets,improve transit,reduce windy conditions.come on.they never were supposed to come down.we should have put them respectfully back up.
Building anything that is not similar to the original WTC is shamefull, misses the mark, and almost equates to being Anti-American in my book. Let those architects design new projects elsewhere, but not here. Would they have totally changed the Statue of Liberty also? The WTC should have been declared a national monument on that horrific day, and all of these non sense feeble designs would have been avoided. HELLO GOVERMENT, CITY OFFICIALS AND ALL OTHERS INVOLVED : Put the WTC back up and lets move on!
A single tall tower will make our skyline no more remarkable than any other American city. Twin Freedom Towers or bust.
Skyscrapers will always be targets. But, if tall buildings are again to be built on this site, then simply the best way to honor those who were lost… would be to replace what never should have been taken. Please, rebuild the twin towers - higher, stronger - better! It is absolutely the morally right thing to do.
We should rebuild these wonderful landmarks to be a much needed symbol of America’s determination to stand strong and NOT SUBMIT to our enemies no matter how much destruction they try to inflict on us.
I will always remember New York as the way it was, with two tall towers dominating the skyline. It made me feel like I was home. Now when I look at New York…all I think of is what the media likes to call “the post 9/11 world”. I say lets change things from becoming a “Post 9/11 world” with the fear tower…I mean freedom tower. Make it the way they should be with the original towers standing tall…not with one single tower called the freedom tower. REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS! NOT THE FEAR TOWER!
