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.

While I don’t think our local politians have the wherewithal to actually rebuild the towers as they once stood, doing so would send a strong message to Bin Laden and his group of merry murders that this city’s landscape, and the U.S. in general, would not be altered by terrorist acts.

I think NYC deserves the landmark which was taken away from us !! Just as John D Rockefeller said when he wanted to build the WTC, NYC is the large Tall Buildings so we cannot change that now!!!

We need our NY skyline back!!!
As the Twin Towers fell, First Aid Squads from throughout the State of NJ were staged in the Meadowlands. Approximately fifty were taken through the Holland Tunnel and staged at Chelsea Piers. One ambulance was placed at Ground Zero’s Comman Center, and it was the one I was part of the crew, “Mine Hill First Aid Squad”. Captain Edna Deacon, George Morris, Lisa Alers, and myself Ronald Regen. There were no lives to save at this point, but a lot to witness.
The Twin Towers have never left us, so let the enemy think that they have taken them from us.
Looking at our skyline without the Twin Towers is something we should never see again. I am disgusted by their recent plans, this “Freedom Tower” bull. I never thought I would say this, but Donald Trump was right. Build the Twin Towers again, but one story taller. I cannot think of any other plan giving more tribute to our lost brothers and sisters we lost that terrible day.
It was a crazy, and sorrow-filled day. And ever since, the city’s been different. Let’s rebuild.
The Twin Towers MUST be rebuilt! It’s the only and the best way to properly remember the victims, restore the city and to restore and give back to america!! The Freedom Tower is a disgusting desgin and cannot be built. Please. Lets unite and do the right thing!
I will never forget that dreadful day. We need to rebuild Three towers with the middle one being larger than the other two-in the shape of a middle finger- as a message to those who did that to us!! I am a born and bred New Yorker and love this city. There is NO DOUBT that we must rebuild.It’s sad that we have not been able to do that yet.
I drove from Tennessee on September 12th, to do what I could to clean up what had been my favorite spot in the country. To not rebuild what was once there, much admired, and cherished by most, is an insult to us all still here, and to those whose lives were lost. Surely common sense, and the common good willl prevail - and thank you for the opportunity to say it
