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...

Hell yeah rebuild the Twin Towers I wasn’t old enough to understand what was going on but now I’m old enough SO REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes Rebuild the Twin Towers so that we win and not the bad guys… Is disgusting what they are building now the freedom tower.
The Twin Towers were such a powerful and iconic part of NYC. Manhattan just doesn’t feel the same without them. And unless they are rebuilt in some way, I don’t think New York will ever be that cool again. I’m fine with either rebuilding the twin towers as they were, or just having the memorial garden to respect the victims, but the new WTC 1 is very cold and corporate and ominous looking, and really has no connection with any of New York’s history or culture.
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
