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 could not agree more that the Twin Towers should be built bigger and better than ever. Why must we be so slow wasting our time with red tape when the answer is so obvious. I love this plan and would contribute financially and in any other way I could to see it become a reality. And if your worried about another attack, park the USS Ronald Reagan in the Hudson. Nothing should deter our way of life. Good job to the planners.

The only way to recover is to take action! Rebuild the towers!

The Freedom Tower IS Nice And All But It Doesnt Show The Real New York Which Is Why I Want My Old Towers Back!

Rebuilding the WTC would not only be a great symbol, but it’d give a lot more job opporutunities to us hard-working Americans. Do it. Do it now. Do it good.

The one true symbol of America’s prosperity and power is the twin towers, not the Freedom Tower, rebuild them bigger than ever!

The World Trade Center IS one of the biggest and greatest landmarks in New York and in United States history.
The Port Authority is stupid for trying to reshape Manhatten’s famous skyline with something so pointless as the Freedom Tower, or as “THEIR” so called One World Trade Center, which is a huge slap in the face to the Twin Towers, for frauding the North Tower’s original name.

I have never seen the world trade center in my life becuse I was born in 1994. I would really love to see the towers rise in the NYC skyline instead of “the pile of junk” Freedom tower. The WTC are my favorite buildngs even though they are gone. I build them with legos and I know basically more than 87 percent of their history.

We need the towers back- they’re America.

America must never be defeated or deprived of its constitutional rights of freedom and ingenuity. Building and rebuilding of America is a continuing process showing the envious world our pride and determination.

The last time I have seen the Twin Towers was on August 25, 2001. 2 weeks before the attacks. As a Brooklyn-born woman raised in NJ I believe that the Twin Towers weren’t just 2 buildings; they were the heart of New York. Any immigrant who comes here to the US to become a citizen, the first he or she will look at aside from Lady Liberty will be the Twin Towers. I HATE the new 1 World Trade Center tower. IT STINKS!!! REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS AND LET’S REBUILD THE PRIDE OF NEW YORK!!!!

The attack on September 11 was perhaps the greatest challenge to American democracy and morale in all of history. It even surpasses the attack on Pearl Harbor, which dragged the U.S. into WWII. Not building the twin towers EXACTLY is a symbol of American defeat; a defeat that the U.S. could not pull themselves after a tragedy. The Freedom Tower is an excellent project, but is not destined for NYC. The towers should be REBUILD EXACTLY, and they should add more height to show Americans’ growth.

When you get knocked down you get back up. You come back bolder and stronger. Rebuild the Twin Towers! The freedom tower isn’t a symbol of america, its a symbol of weakness.

Bring back those beautiful towers, bigger better and bolder than ever…
This could possibly be the most patriotic thing for anyone who is an American during this time in history. To rebuild what our enemies think they have taken from us. No other buildings will look the way the Twin Towers did on the Manhattan skyline. The American people can once again have a majestic and beautiful site to see, and the deepest sense of patriotism while gazing upon the Twin Towers II.
Why isn’t this done yet? NYC just doesn’t look or feel right without the towers. I don’t want any “Freedom Towers” or any such nonsense either, just rebuild the towers exactly the way they were, straight from the original blueprints.
I’m currently living in Jersey City and every time I look beyond the Hudson River it just looks like something is missing. The Twin Towers always struck my eyes as a child. They would be the first thing I’d notice about NYC before the Empire State Building. I grew up in Essex county and even from the right elevation I was able to see the WTC. I truly miss those buildings. New York hasn’t been the same without them. I remember 9/11 perfectly and I really wish that day never happened.
Rebuilding larger twin towers should be the only option. I wholeheartedly agreed with this idea years ago when Donald Trump advocated it. There are just so many reasons and all have been expressed by many. Just please do it!
Rebuild the Twin Towers *exactly* as they were. They were an iconic part of the NY Skyline and since 9/11 have been immortalized as the most visible symbol of our strength, resilience, and determination overcome everything out adversaries would throw against us. That was how the NY Skyline was, and that is how the NY Skyline should be again.
10 year anniversary is coming up soon and nothing has been done with the site. Meanwhile, the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, is built within this time span. Enough with the bureaucracy, let’s REBUILD the site.
Not only should we rebuild the twin towers but the top two floors should be a Military base and lets put some battelship guns facing out in each direction…Show POWER to the rest of the world…
I worked downtown for many years, loved having lunch in the plaza near the Towers. In 1993 I went through the PATH station a few hours before it was bombed, and realize that the toll could have been much worse that day. A week after 9/11, I went back to the site, and like everyone else the absence of the Towers was overwhelming. I knew someone who was killed that terrible day. We can’t bring back those who were lost, but we can and should rebuild the Twin Towers.
REBUILD THE TWINS!!!!!! THE “FREEDOM TOWER” IS JOKE AND A BIG DISGRACE!!!!
:D i hope i help!
An excavated piece of land does not honor the lives lost on 9/11. The proposed Freedom Tower does not properly honor them. Rebuilding the twin towers is only way to go. It does not only honor the lives lost, but it shows that we as a nation, can stand strong and overcome. It shows that we cannot be weakened, but only made stronger. Those two glorious towers would show that the memories of those lost stand tall in our hearts. And by rebuilding the twin towers, it shows that we will never forget.
Please rebuild the twin towers..when i was younger i used to look out the window and when i saw the twin towers I KNEW I was in New York….the Freedom Tower would not be the same! I loved those buildings and building something not similar at all is just terribe! LONG LIVE THE WORLD TRADE CENTERS AND BRING THEM BACK!! BIGGER..BETTER (even though they couldnt be much better)..STRONGER like the design they showed on youtube pretty much the same except stronger and one extra floor on each building!!
Bayport, Long Island, NY
Stop this greedy madness and rebuild the Twin Towers!!!
the twin towers should be rebuilt brick by brick, one floor higher as a big f.u. to bin laden…they were the most majestic of all buildings in the world, the guardians of manhattan and of all ny city…i never tired of looking at them and would love to gaze at them one more time…i am thankful i got to go to the roof once in my life and would love to again…please no replacement…rebuild the same…there wont be a dry eye in the city as the rise once again…god bless all 911 victims…
I might only be a 17 year old guy who has been a New Yorker his whole life living on Long Island. But I can still remember the time very very clearly before 9/11 in the late 90’s when I was always amazed by the New York City skyline and the Twin Towers. I was so stunned by these beautiful buildings that I was completely shocked when 9/11 happened. The point to all of this is to Rebuild the World Trade Center and make our city whole once more. Because if we don’t do anything, who will?
I sent a message to the mayor of NY recommending this “healing” of America. It is NOT the Muslims who are bad, those are NOT true Muslims, they are fakers. Wake Up Before it’s too late!
These need to be rebuilt. We must show the World that when we get knocked down we are not down and out but better yet we come back bigger and stronger and will not be intimidated by terrorists.
The twin towers should be rebuilt. We had built a landmark. And now we have to rebuild it.
