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.

I think the twin towers should be rebuilt, same design but taller. This will show the world that America will prevail and we stand together strong. I pray for all the families of the victims, and I pray that the right decision is made when rebuilding ground zero.
My name is Beau and when I grow up I want to be a US Army green beret. My father was in the army and I want to give my life for my country. I love my country with all my heart and mind almost as much as God. I wish to be able to take my kid to the top and tell him that is what I fought for.
We need to honor the memories of the victims, but also the sacrifices made by the thousands of military heroes since this abhorrent act. Let’s stand tall in this valiant effort to rebuild the towers in the grandeur they deserve.
Rebuild it already (EXACTLY as it was) !!!!
Rebuild the Twin Towers alongside a proper memorial on the Super Block of the World Trade Center. Anything less dishonors those who died on 9/11 and those who have died defending it since and will be viewed as a sign of weakness and decline to our enemies and the world.
I’m glad to see “the committee” has designed a stunning memorial to the innocent people murdered on 9/11. I’m 100% supportive of that effort. But the symbolic intent of the attack was to challenge the foundation and fabric of our nation as a whole and the structure(s) that follow the twin towers should surpass the grandeur of the original Twin Towers. I really like the design and look of One World Trade Center but the tall single tower on the New York Skyline just falls well short of the real “strength” of the original Twin Towers. The greatest generation of WWII would have had a twin towers complex rebuilt by now, much taller than the two they replaced. I’m ashamed to say that the new complex design is embarrassingly inadequate and
Rebuild them. They’re icons for New York, for America, and for the world. To build anything else is absolutely disgraceful and disgusting to all of us who remember that day. The people want to return to the original, not some appalling design, to make them feel better. Rebuild them, rebuild them, rebuild them.
I watched the towers fall on live TV. I served overseas in Baghdad in ’04. The towers need to be built better than ever before. The terrorists need to know that America has the persiverance to overcome whatever happens to us. REBUILD the towers!!! They need to be better than the might they had before.
Rebuild. Rebuild. Rebuild.
I respectfully suggest that we rebuild the original towers with one exception: tower one should rise nine stories taller; tower two should rise eleven stories taller. What better tribute than to follow the will of the people, especially those most affected by this devastating event? As I see it, if we do not rebuild the twin towers, then the terrorists, indeed, have won. Rebuilding the twin towers (with the noted suggestion) to their original glory would convey absolute strength and resolve. It is the right thing to do! It is the just path to take. Godspeed.
I would like to see a rebuild of the towers, it’s what you think of when you think of NYC.
I’m 28, in the US Navy and I support the motion to REBUILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thousands of troops have died and suffered life changing injuries since the 9/11 attack, we owe it to these heroes and to the 9/11 victims and their families to support this movement to rebuild the Twin Towers. They should be built BIGGER, STRONGER, and BETTER.
I am absolutely certain that a great number of Americans would be glad to donate their talents, time, and money to rebuild the towers.
Let us put our energy together, let us show the world that the American can do spirit is alive.
Brooklyn Born. Towers were there my whole life. Its how I knew I was home. My family and I were lucky, I had requested extended time for leave but was denied due to manning, so we left on our flights Sept 8th. The plan was to take the family to the top of the WTC and look down at the world from its observation deck. When the towers came down I was on duty again, I knew I would never be truly home again. Put them up. That’s the only real way to be American. When you’re down get up!
they should rebuild the towers better then ever as an air force member it hurt having to help at ground zero they need to rbuild those towers are the focal point of nyc i am sick and tired of hearing about one tower being build it should be 2 for god’s sake thank you
It’s simple! Build what ALL Americans want which is the Twin Towers 2 and with that also make it the tallest structure in the World!!! Then when those peice of scum terrorists see what we did, it’ll show how we are not afraid and even if we are sucker punched we will carry on. God Bless America!
For god’s sake, rebuild the original and let the murderers who destroyed those buildings and killed all of our innocent Americans, know that they did NOT win.
