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.

If we do not rebuild the symbols that Osama Bin Laden was so keen to destroy, then he ultimately wins. Rebuilding them - at least as tall as they were before - is essential to National pride, National Honor - and is the best way to honor the fallen.

The Twin Towers represented the ideals of the United States as well as anything. A place for unrestrained capitalism conducted by individuals from nearly every country on this planet.We need this symbol back and in the truest American fashion let’s rebuild them taller and stronger than any structures this world has ever known!

The terrorists knocked down the towers. REBUILDING them EXACTLY as they were would be a slap in the Terrorists’ collective faces. It would be a statement, telling them that no matter what they do, they cannot stop us…EVER.

I agree…let’s make New York, New York again! I believe seeing the Twin Towers back in that familiar skyline would unite the country (which has become evermore divided since then) and show the world that we will not change or bend to anyone’s will. It would provide healing and perhaps some closure to one of the most horrific events our country has ever endured. Did they not repair the Pentagon? If flight 93 had hit the White House, would it not have been rebuilt? Let us do the right thing now!

Build 5 of them at escalating levels, so the 3rd one is the highest..then they precede to go back down. Kinda like a middle finger.

Some standing monument that has no other purpose than to memorialize those innocent victims, would serve to honor the memory of the lives lost in that great tragedy, but to rebuild says to the bastards who would like to see more people die in that fashion that we will always come back; that they cannot destroy forever that which we endeavor to create or the way in which we choose to live and work, which is a far greater testament to the souls of those great Americans.

The Twin Towers partner to create New York’s disctinct skyline. Let us rebuild them; for their subtle beauty, glory, and elegance will suffocate the evil of terrorist acts. May our silent towers of strength deafen the cowardly outbursts of Al-Qaeda.

The Towers need to go back up. Nothing less will do to discourage the enemy, to show that all they do will come to nothing.

My brother was just deployed to Afghanistan (8/22/08) In early April me a my brother went to New Jersey to pick up a car I purchased on E-Bay, we had never been to New York we decided to fly into La Guardia airport, rent a car and pay our respects. 9/11 is the reason my bother joined the Army. We believe the Twin Towers should always be Twin Towers! I’ve followed the rebuilding online and I’ve never liked the current Freedom tower (or any single Tower scenario).This is why I signed this petition.
I am from upstate and I joined after sept. 11. I wonder why it is taking so long to rebuild in a major American city. After we have invaded and started rebuilding two foriegn countries. It’s a shame. Rebuild the twin towers.
Rebuild this grand icon of America’s (and the world’s) constant yearning for freedom and goodwill. The F. T. looks OK, but the spire that reduces actual “true” floor levels is cowardly and screams, “We’re scared that they’ll attack us again.” Also, the extra emphasis on the glass surface seems to say, “Those old towers just weren’t elegant enough,” which is insulting to our pride in USA’s rich architectural history. Finally, the name “Freedom” is redundant, as any US icon has freedom implied.
Americans are not afraid. Build them bigger, better, and stronger than ever. Let us worry about protecting them.
Get these towers back up!
Please honor the memories of those who died in the attack and those who continue to die to ensure this will never happen again! After 7 long years, something needs to be done, NOW. One big, pointed garden center is not enough. We need the Twin Towers back and better than ever!
Every time we lose something, we strive to get better. why not do the same with the Twin Towers? Do not let the terrorists win, they wanted to change the great New York skyline and if we do not rebuild the Twins, they would have done so.
The single greatest monument to the victims of that tragic day would be the rebuilding of the twin towers. Bigger, better and stronger. The terrorists try to destroy our way of life. Lets show them that they can’t do that. If they knock us down, we’ll get right back up.Oorah!
AS A US MARINE HONORARY I WANT TO SEE THE TWIN TOWERS REBUILT THEY SYMBALIZE A PART OF THE MAGNIFICENT NEW YORK SKYLINE AND FOR THAT REASON I SAY LETS REBUILD THE TOWERS THE ORIGINAL TOWERS NOT THE FREEDOM TOWERS WE HAVE TO WE MUST THE TWIN TOWERS NEED TO BE BACK IN THERE ORIGINAL SPOT AND THEY HAVE TO BE THERE SO THAT THE EVIL PEOPLE KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOIN TO HURT US LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN LETS BRING BACK THE WORLD FAMOUS WORLD TRADE CENTER THANK YA SIGNED CORPORAL JENSEN!!
Rebuild-Hooah!
not rebuilding the towers is as ludicrous as not rebuilding the pentagon. They are both national symbols of American excellence. Rebuild the towers in the same image, but taller than the one in Dubai!
HOOAH! Build them even higher than before and show them that no one can take America down!!!
Whoop Whoop Make new york whole again : )
rebuild the twin towers :)
Lets show the Liberals and antiamericans what were made up of

It occurs to me that a hundred years ago, this would not even have been a question. Of course they should be rebuilt. Exactly as before. No taller, no bigger. The act of destroying the the Towers is a symbol, as is the act of rebuilding them just like they were. I don’t care about sending the message. I care about rebuilding them so people can stop living in fear. Maybe one day when people look at the skyline of New York, instead of pain, they’ll feel hope.

I think we should bring them back to what they once were and bring back the soul of NY by rebuilding them.
When i think of New York City, the first thoughts that hit my mind are The Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Madison Sqaure Garden, and The World Trade Center. What would happen if the other buildings were destroyed? Would we rebuild them? Of course we would. That goes the same for The World Trade Center. We should rebuild them to let the terrorists know that no matter how hard you hit us, no matter how hard u put us down, we always get back up, were america, we never stay down.
Put the Towers back! Add a floor for an appropriate memorial, but the Towers must go back. We must show that we can indeed be knocked down by a surprise attack, but we are America and we will be back, bigger and stronger than before. The Towers were chosen as targets because they typified the United States. Any ‘alternative’ design for the WTC will simply become the Osama bin Laden memorial. Stand firm! Rebuild the Towers!
Make them taller!
