The Twin Towers Alliance » All Other Americans

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.

When I went to NY last spring what I saw was horrible!! a pile of dirt and a structure of 6 floors being built of the new hidious freedom tower. “WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES…” not “WE THE POLITICIANS WHO DECIDE EVERYTHING.”

Please Note: This petition is meant to provide a forum for this subject alone. It is a petition, not a bulletin board. We will not sanitize controversial remarks if the comments are primarily in support of the petition's purpose. But off-topic remarks are subject to removal on a case-by-case basis to keep the focus where it belongs. Thank you.

Important Mention: Those who read back over the comments will find that from time to time we highlight excerpts to help those who only have time to skim a page get a sense of what people are thinking and feeling. But oftentimes we can't keep up with it, but where it does occur, it isn't a methodical effort, but just a window on what people are thinking and feeling about this monumentally important issue. The important thing to know is that no comment matters more than any other. Each one is valued and helps make the case we all care so much about.

TTA Note: Occasionally a current signature will disappear. When that happens it is because someone who has already signed the petition signs a second time and when the second signature is validated the two are automatically merged and appear in the original chronology.
If someone leaves a second signature and comment, it is automatically overwrites the earlier placement when the validation link is activated. If it isn't activated, there will be duplicate signatures. When we recognize that someone has signed before, we will manually include the earlier comment at the end of the current message and delete the earlier entry.

Regarding anonymous signatures: Taking a stand using one's full name is always preferred, but when a last name is withheld, the signature and sentiments are still of value. In every case, we have an email address that corresponds with the entry and is kept private.

* Indicates that signature has not yet activated the validation link, often due to spamblocking software.
