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...

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.
It is NOW TIME to REBUILD the TOWERS!!!
We shall overcome, but we will never forget.
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!
In memory of Harry, Tommy, and Mitch, and FF John Bergin
We need our NY skyline back!!!
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
We must rebuild without any more delays. There are no other options.
I WAS THERE THE DAY THE BUILDING FELL DOWN WITH THE MINE HILL FIRST AID SQUAD AS PART OF THE NEW JERSEY STATE FIRST AID COUNCIL ALONG WITH ME WERE LISA ALERS,RONALD REGAN AND EDNA DEACON WE WHERE SITTING ON THE CORNERS OF CHAMBERS AND WEST STREET.
The Twin Towers have never left us, so let the enemy think that they have taken them from us.
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!!!
It was a crazy, and sorrow-filled day. And ever since, the city’s been different. Let’s rebuild.
