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. All Other Americans

Bring back the towers!
I feel that the rebirth of the World Trade Center will not only restore the NYC skyline to what it was once before, but restore the American spirit, for we stay strong as a nation, but the rebuilding of the Twin Towers would completely mend the American pride way more than the Freedom Tower (One World Trade) ever would. PLEASE REBUILD THESE TOWERS!!!
I Was Born In 1999 And On that Horrific Day on 9/11 I Remember The Towers Getting Hit by the planes And them also collapsing I am intristed in The Twin Towers I Do as Much Research on The world Trade Center i ask My parents and My grandparents and my friend from New York About The Twin Towers sometimes I wish that I could of seen the Twin Towers But Now all I see is The Freedom tower under construction
Plese Bring Back The TWIN TOWERS
I visited those majestic towers when i was about 7 on August 2000, I was amazed at the twin towers for being so big so… very tall and standing proud. I didn’t understand 9/11 until 5th grade, but I’m sick and tired of the world trade center being remembered as a tragic place where people died by new generations! WE NEED THESE TOWERS BACK the Way they were , not 1 tower, NOT 4 ASYMETRICAL BUILDINGS, BUT 2 TWIN TOWERS!
BRING BACK THE TWINS!
The Freedom Tower is a Fear Tower. There’s still time and Room to build WTC 1 and 2 though. The port authority has ignored the American people in favor of short term financial gain.
The Towers need to be rebuilt.
i still cry at pictures of the twin towers we cant let them take it away from us
Rebuild the towers! Let freedom ring! Make the New York skyline strong again!
The World Trade Center was a symbol of this country for years and whether a bit simple still very much recognized by the world. 1WTC, I have nothing against. Americans I have to admit are wallowing in the past and it’s time to move on a while ago but I know and most of America do the same that the twins have to return and that will be the true closure that we need.
Rebuild our twin towers!
The terrorists have already won by changing the New York skyline. The Freedom Tower is almost finished. We have lost the Twin Towers to both Al Qaeda and the politicians.
I can’t believe that the Twin Towers are gone forever. I am going to miss them terribly. Why did we let this happen? When I go to New York I will not be visiting ground zero.
I visited NYC in July 2001. At first the twins were scary for being so tall (I was 9), but I got to the top of wtc2 and it was spectacular! The highest place I have ever been on to date. The twin towers will forever be in my vision of NYC. To me that ground is still considered ground zero until the twins return one day and stand tall and proud, not only as a symbol and icon of NYC but America and a big middle finger to terrorism in the world. “Freedom tower” does the exact opposite.
It pains me to know that the Twin Towers and their famous Windows On The World and the Outdoor observation deck will never be enjoyed again. Personally because of the construction of the Freedom Tower I will never visit Lower Manhattan or the Statue Of Liberty again! Never!
It boggles my mind that we have not rebuilt them. Why would we ever settle for a memorial? We need the Twin Towers on the skyline again – compared to the stimuli passed, rebuilding it would be pocket change – and it would do so much more for morale. If Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower were destroyed, they’d be rebuilt. Why not the Twin Towers? And our economy was booming after 9/11, why didn’t we rebuild it then when there was the housing and real estate bubble!?
the new trade center just looks bad, like some new age japanese building, and has way to much glass, the old world trade didnt look like other buildings, it didnt just blend in like the rest it was something else.
New York just isn’t the same without the twins. Sure there is the two fountain memorial, battery park, and the statue of liberty. However what else does lower manhattan have? It use to have a two 110 story city within a city complex. A destination for business and pleasure that served as a symbol of New York since 1970/1971. They need to be rebuilt… no they must be rebuilt. It’s been my dream for a long time… to stand in Austin J. Tobin plaza and look straight up at just the sheer size of those beautiful buildings. To this day… that dream goes unfulfilled. The freedom tower just does not have the same beauty the twins had. The twins were Iconic… that in of itself should be enough to bring them back. Oh America… bring back my twins!
I LOST A FEW FRIENDS IN THE TOWERS ON THAT TERRIBLE MORNING OF 911. I believe that the towers should be rebuilt again, and stand majestically over NYC. It would be in great respect to the fallen heroes and fellow country men of freedom that we lost tragically on that day. It would show the world that all hopes for peace and freedom will never be removed from our hearts and souls. That the American’s who perished are not forgotten and their deaths are not in vain. I believe that the new towers would represent that we are a strong nation, that can rebuild itself stronger and rise up again after it has fallen. That we Americans can be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix. That we also can recover from our loss and pain, and show the ones responsib
Now the Freedom Tower is 92 stories up. I will still go to New York City but I will never again visit Lower Manhattan because I hate the new complex. I can go any where else in New York such as Times Square, Central Park, or Coney Island but I will never visit Ground Zero.
I’m a Filipino American and when my mom first came her she went to NY and took a picture of her self next to the biggest towers in America. REBUILD! MAKE NY NY AGAIN! America=Best country on Earth. We can do anything.
Rebuilding the Twin Towers would be the ultimate “F*** you!” to the terrorists!! It`s practically like saying, “You may have scored a major blow to us, but we recovered and are back better than ever!!”
THE TWIN TOWER IS FREAKING AWESOME, I WANT IT BACK!!!
