The Twin Towers Alliance Petition "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 statement above rings just as true in 2013 as it did in 2006. The thousands of comments that have been left on the petition over the years are just the tip of an iceberg. The question to consider is not will new state-of-the-art Twin Towers be built — which no one knows for sure — but should new Twin Towers be built, on which most of us have always agreed. The finances and politics at the site are in shambles. There is no guarantee that the other two towers will ever be built — giving us not a World Trade Center, but a lasting disgrace. Now, in 2013, the only right course is to establish what it would take to restore the majestic skyline with 21st-century Twin Towers soaring above the Freedom Tower and let the people decide if it is worth it or not — since the public is the primary stakeholder in every sense of the word and few things could matter more to the well-being and direction of our country. If you agree with our efforts and goal, sign the petition. Don't believe the propaganda. It's not true...

As a New Yorker myself I think it is a disgrace to America for the towers not to be rebuilt. What is there now shows the monsters who took them down that they won. I think there should at least be a second freedom tower even though that would not be what should be there and the whole site should be called “Freedom Trade Center” or something like that.
I think the Twin Towers II should have been built instead of one lonely, not so attractive tower. I have never been to the original Twin Towers but saw it from afar from the Statue of Liberty back in 1992 and it just looked beautiful. I couldn’t believe it. I was a kid at the time and didn’t know my way around NYC. Anyway, it’d be great to see the Twin Towers again.
It would be great to see the towers up again. It was a sad day for America to watch our towers fall and watch all those people die. It was a mean thing that those terrorists did to our country. I will remember and never forget what happened. Rebuilding the Twin Towers would be a sign of victory.
It’s clear that people want to see the twin towers built again. In fact, it was clear 11 years ago. Just because the Governor has power over the city doesn’t mean he can take it upon himself to choose which towers to build due to his own preferences. The vote goes to the people of NYC along with the rest of America. This city is filled with useless and weak minded people that work for the government and it needs to change. The thought of the Freedom Tower AND Twin Towers seem like a great idea. Fix the foundation of where the towers stood and put them back, we need to show all remaining terrorists that when we fall WE GET BACK UP!!! But the government is not helping us prove that AT ALL. Our country’s security is alot more superior than it was.
9-11 is one of my earliest memories. I remember it so vividly. I was lucky enough to visit the towers about a week before they came down as a child, but I never really got to get the full experience out of that one visit. The original towers were beautiful and the plans for the new WTC are, in my opinion, atrocious. Please give us back our towers. Please give the people their towers. Please give the people freedom. Please.
Rebuild , Rebuild , Rebuild. The people of this great nation deserve just that. On 9/11 terrorists attempted to destroy America and by rebuilding these once great towers that stood tall in the sky , Would say to the terrorists , No matter what you attempted to do or tried to accomplish you could never and will never destroy the spirit of us Americans.
Please rebuild the Towers to be a true memorial to the ones who lost their lives and to the families that lost their loved ones. Rebuild these Towers for the children , Children that were innocent babies at the time of the tragedy. Give them the experience that we had to enjoy the two beautiful monuments to American architectural ability and beauty.
Rebuild these Towers for America…
My name is Robin Ann Bedell, married name Blankenship. I was born in the Catskills of New York. My father And mother both grew up on Long Island, New York. I cried my eyes out when I saw what happened on 9/11. They should be rebulilt the way they were. Show the world we will always rise to whatever they throw our way. WE WILL STAND TOGETHER AS ONE! THE AMERICANS WILL STAND TOGETHER ALWAYS!!! SO PLEASE PUT ME ON THE LIST TO REBULILD THE TWIN TOWERS THE WAY THEY WERE. THANK YOU.
I love skyscrapers and I especially loved the Twin Towers, although I never fully remember them I was only about 5 or 6 when they fell. I would love to see them today as the “Golden Towers” By starting over we just show the people who did this to us that we forget easy. I don’t think the towers should be exactly the same maybe a few changes and they would be golden colored but there must be the changes because it would be 9/11 all over again if we just built the same thing and they were to be attacked god forbid…The towers should symbolize the old towers, not some made up towers that look futuristic and have nothing to really do with the twin towers besides the words “world trade center”
I grew up in upstate New York and visited those glorious towers while in high school. I remember we went back a second time on our trip because we wanted to go up to the outside viewing deck and the weather had prevented it the day before. So we saw not only the inside observation floor but the outside viewing deck also…a vivid and fond memory from my childhood. I have always wanted to go back and visit those twins and take those tours again as an adult but sadly will never get that chance now. I agree that we should build those towers back again. The Freedom Tower is a nice tribute to America’s freedom, but it just doesn’t hold a candle to those beautiful and majestic twin towers. I believe we should rebuild them again!
Quite simply, though the freedom tower is a beautiful building, it does not touch the magnitude of the Twin Towers. How we as a nation can attempt to replace the Twin Towers with a building that cowers in their shadow is a plain travesty.
Just bring the towers back up. Make the New York skyline as it should be. Make Osama Bin Laden roll and cry some more as he burns in hell. If you’re a conspiracy theorist, then just sign petition to show whoever you think caused it to be sad or mad that the American people didn’t throw in the towel. We’ll let you believe what you want to believe. I can’t blame you. America likes things bigger and better. So let’s make the twin towers bigger, better, and safer to put the icing on the cake to show we just don’t give up easily.
I believe that rebuilding the twin towers would help restore hope in our nation and would bring back the majesty of the New York City skyline. As a lifelong resident of the tristate area, those two buildings were not just skyscrapers. They were icons of who we are as a nation and a symbol of what it means to be a New Yorker and New Jersian. We are a tough and resilient people and for that symbol to not be returned to our great city is an absolute crime. Rebuild the towers alongside the Freedom Tower and show the world we haven’t given in and given up.
The Twin Towers were attacked because they symbolized the American way of life. They were the targets and not rebuilding them will leave future generations cheated and give the terrorists the last laugh. The current plan to “rebuild” the WTC accommodates the terrorists plan, and is not very popular among the people at all. I say if we are paying for this site in toll hikes we should have a say! And I think very clearly the Twin Towers would rise again. My family and I were greatly affected by 9/11, and living just minutes away from the city made it even more personal, it was our home. So please Rebuild The Twin Towers!
The best memorial would be an exact replica of the buildings but much stronger to withstand any attack if the effin terrorists ever try that again!
I wish all those brave families good luck and Rest In Peace all those brave first responders who died, I hope all the 3000 lives rest in peace.
I don’t remember seeing the World Trade Center. I was too young and wouldn’t understand it. My father was in the building working there multiple times. He was just over a mile from the trade center when they collapsed. He even took photos of it. I think that they should do this because it was what represented new york during the late 20th century. People around the world dream of seeing them. It would take us back to before all this had happened making you smile everytime you go into the city. Welcome to the top of the world. It just looks like it’s missing everytime you see the view from the top of rockefeller looking beyond the empire state building. Now that they have a 3 sided building with 2 others accompanying it just doesn’t look right.
