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.

Born and raised in New York. The twin towers were as much a part of our lives as breathing air and to not restore them to their rightful place in the New York skyline would be a disservice to all New Yorkers past and present and would be to have allowed these monsters to come in and have forever altered a huge part of New York. We cannot give them that power.
Grew up in Brooklyn and later Staten Island. Watched the towers being built. I don’t think that anything could be more fitting than to restore them to the skyline.
I was born and bred in B’klyn 71 years ago.I lived either in B’klyn or Queens most of those years.I in fact lived for many years in Middle Village and Maspeth where we were able to see the twin towers from our overpass.When they came down it changed our scene which we saw many times a day. What a loss. My brother is a fireman that went and fought the fire the first week from day one. He is now suffering from respitory problems. So our involvement has me wanting to see it again.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn and watched those Towers being built. They were and forever should be a symbol of the strength and spirit of the American people, no one should be allowed to destroy that spirit. Build them back the way they were.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
I would like to see them rebuilt in my lifetime.Let’s get it done.
Born and raised in NYC, I vividly remember watching the Twin Towers get built while a student at the HS of Music & Art. I will always be a New Yorker wherever life takes me, and I meet many people who ask: “why are they doing something different, they should rebuild them using the same exact design, just stronger!”
The Twin Towers have been a symbol of this country for so long. We need to put our symbol back just like it was. Show the radicals, you can hit us but you can not hurt us!
To quote a famous WWII general — “Nuts!”
Build them the way they were — stick it to the evil that brought them down!
Rebuild them just as they were…only made out of solid, reinforced concrete so they can never be brought down again.
The towers must be rebuilt as they were only higher!

If we don’t rebuild the towers just the way they were, the terrorists have won forever. Of all the people who worked in those towers who died, I bet each and every one would be more proud if they were rebuilt as they were.
I grew up in Bergen Cnty in view of the NY skyline. I’d like nothing more than to have the towers back. Maybe a little taller, a little modernized, but most of all as a symbol of our resolve against the animals who murdered our friends & families.
