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.

Send them back up - one story higher! These buildings are iconic to the American psyche. Their image saturates our culture in movies and images and every time we see them, our collective unhealed wound aches. No other building would serve to heal that wound.
Some argue that rebuilding them would be disrespectful to the victims. I of course can’t speak for the victims but I can only assume that if they could speak they too would have a varied opinion. We can’t please everyone. -

I believe we should rebuild in memory of all the ones we lost but i think we should not get off 9/11 because it would look like we are a weak country but we do need to remember all the ones we lost.

I was 7 years old when my first visit to New York. I promised myself that I would one day live in New York. The reason I wanted to live in New York was because of all of the kind and caring people and I was absolutely amazed by the WTC. I joined the military to do something for the country and the least the country can do is rebuild so that those lost on 9/11 did not die in vain.

I’m contributing to the fight against terrorism abroad but we can not possibly win without an unconditional victory at home. Stepping up airport security, an increased defense budget, and the creation of the Dept. of Homeland Security are steps in the right direction. The final bayonet thrust of the war at home is the rebuilding of the Twin Towers EXACTLY as they once stood. Doing anything else disgraces the American dead and insults their families. Don’t let the terrorists succeed.

Rebuilding the twin towers will be the best possible memorial. It’s the only plan that shows the enemy that America will always bounce back…and better than before. Seven and a half years later jihadists are still using images of the towers falling for their own propaganda. Rebuilding the towers will take the recruiting effectiveness out of those images!

To rebuild the World Trade Center anything less than what it was before 9/11 would be a disgrace not only to all who were lost there, but to all New Yorkers, this entire Nation and the rest of the World. The Twin Towers were a symbol of strength, prosperity, freedom and peace for all the World. Not only should they be built identical to what they were before but, they should be one story taller with a massive memorial dedicated to all the people who lost their lives on this most tragic day.

I am a New Yorker and the wife of a veteran who served in Iraq. I was there the day the towers fell, and I feel that the towers should be rebuilt. This freedom tower is in my humble opinion, a mockery. For those who perished that day and those who continue to give their lives overseas, bring back the towers.

This what america needs to do to show that the people of this great country have noot given up, and have not succomed to fear. I hope to once again view the skyline of NY, and see those towers representing Americas drive to overcome adversity, and that we will prevail.

This plan to rebuild the twin towers is simply amazing. It encompasses a desire to remember those who fell that day as well as the drive to show the world that America will not stand by and let our strength, our prosperity, and our principles be infringed upon by any government or fanatical ideology. We should absolutely rebuild the towers and they should be taller! They should be looked at as a beacon of hope for a better world and a symbol of the tenacity of the American spirit.

All these years after 9-11, after all the lives sacrificed to stop the evil that brought down the towers we can’t let a hole in the skyline stand as a monument to the effectiveness of terrorism where once stood a proud monument to American hard work and ingenuity.
Rebuild the World Trade Center in it’s original form, obviously designed to withstand any unlikely future aircraft impact, but raise them one floor higher as an act of defiance against tyranny.

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.
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.
As a former New Jersey resident and a Marine that was in boot camp on Sept. 11, I didn’t see what happened live that day. Every time I drive back home to see my family from Mass. I look across the river and it just doesn’t look right. The towers need to be rebuilt. It needs to look the way it did. I want the skyline back to the way it was.
I, like so many others, joined the U.S. Marine Corps because of what happened on 9/11. We fought/are fighting the forces responsible for that tragic day, and in the process, many more American lives have been sacrificed. We owe it to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We owe it to the people of New York. We owe it to ourselves as Americans as a symbol of our strength and undying spirit. Please rebuild the towers and show the world that when we get knocked down, we come back stronger than ever.
As a retired Army veteran of 23 years and former New Yorker (Bronx), my message is simple and to the point, REBUILD THE TOWERS!! Rebuild them just as they were, hell add some more floors and regain the “tallest in the world” title.
The WTC II plan is absolutley amazing! It would send a very clear message to the entire World about America’s resiliency!
I do not like the idea of the single tower 1 WTC. This other 2 tower Plan looks amazing and it shows we are not intimidated by the terrorists. The buildings are great and it would be an honor to have them.
Good luck!
my brother has been in the united states army fro over 11 years and he has went to war for this country. I feel that our country needs to have everything back to the way it was for the preservation of our history.
Im 14 years old, from the bronx and I clearly remember as a child visiting the wtc, and 9/11 put me in a state of extreme anger, my brother is in the us army and currently in the ny national guard and he loves the twin towers 2 design and everyone i mention it to loves it. After high school i plan on joining the army and fighting the THINGS that did this to us, with your help we will rebuild and be victorious!
TTA Note: All the comments left on this petition are treasured, because they are so REAL, but this one is especially precious. Thank you, Nicholas. With your help we will rebuild and be victorious!
I say REBUILD!!!! To not rebuild sends a message to other countries that is not a favorable expression of our people and what America stands for.

As a former infantryman, I would like to say that rebuilding the Twin Towers to specification (or taller) would severely demoralize our enemies while uplifting the spirit and morale of Americans, as well as freedom loving people everywhere. Imagine the triumph of seeing our beloved NYC skyline restored even better than before. It is what the Greeks of antiquity would have done after such an horrific act. We must do this.
This shouldn’t even be a question. Those towers were such a part of the city. I’ve seen the architectural proposals and heard some very impressive interviews with people who were victims of the devastation on 9/11 who are for the towers coming back. I agree.
My prayers and love to the ones that passed away and their families. My deepest sympathy.

This tragedy has bruised my soul and my heart goes out to all the heroes that day inside of that building. I joined the US Army because I wanted to show support to the victims of 9/11. I wish that we could go back in time and stop this tragedy from ever happening, but who am I kidding time travel will never be possible, and God lets things happen for a reason. I hope that every American has learned something from this tragedy. I will never forget that day and the heroes in those towers.
For the families and friends and military members…. We will rebuild. My uncle which is a firefighter for the Red Hook Brooklyn NY Happy Hookers watched the towers fall. For those whom we have lost, we will never forget u. I have proof that I will never forget and neither will my children. HOOAH WE WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
I thought from the beginning that the towers should be built bigger and better. Make it the tallest in the world, have radar and plane tracking and communications to identify, have battery missle and detterance. Make the towers the most valuable businness center in the world, put lights on top for brilliance and tracking spotlight and laser guided missles. If there will be an attack, they will attack anything in a city. Lets show these terrorists who’s boss. Lets start using lasar guided missles, drones
The Twin Towers should be rebuilt!!!! Anything less shows our lack of resolve. The families of the people that died that day are much more in support of the Twin Towers than the Freedom Tower. Their voices deserve to be heard and acted upon.
