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.

The Twin Towers were the very heart of New York City and nothing will ever replace what was lost on 9/11! The new Freedom Tower that is being built at ground zero is an insult to the people who lost families, friends, or loved ones on 9/11! What is happening at ground zero is a rank abuse! The port authority doesn’t own anything at ground zero! The people are the ones to decide what they want built at the World Trade Center site!
Rebuild them, New York isnt the same with just the Empire State building =/
Thats like blowing up the Sears Tower in Chicago and leaving you to live with just the John Hancock building!
Please. We need the twin towers back rather then the new ones in progress. I believe that only the twin towers are the right buildings for ground zero and New York. They shouldn’t be replaced I’m sure those that died in the attack feel the same way.
Twin Towers II is beautiful and it’s the right thing to do! Rebuild! Why not?!? The Freedom Tower is disgusting down to the last detail and we all hate it! I can’t believe we have to pay for it through taxes. I would happily pay for TWIN TOWERS II! Rebuild, don’t replace.
I HATE THE FREEDOM TOWER. The one thing I have to say about the WTC Site now:
I don’t want to see the hole in the ground, nor the skeleton in the sky.
The Twin Towers (WTC) have to be rebuilt because they represent NY. New York will never be the same without the Twin Towers. REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS!!! The majority wants the Twin Towers back, stronger, taller & safer!!!
Not being able to look downtown and see the stable anchor of the World Trade Center Towers leaves me with a sense of loss and sadness on a daily basis.
Bring the towers back! The Freedom Tower project is a disaster- scrap it and do what makes sense. Twin Towers are an American Icon!!
Returning to NYC after 9/11 was … incredible. Enough to leave anyone speechless. Never before or since have I heard Manhattan silent. Rebuilding the towers is the only option that should be considered. The New York skyline will be a source of pain for anyone who was there regardless of what is built, the most important consideration is that America stand back up – tall and strong.
Definately rebuild them. Plus one story! We will show then how we stand united! Loud and proud!
Rebuild!!! New York will never be the same without the twin towers! We can’t let bin laden win!
the freedom towers have been delayed to 2014!
What are we waiting for? Lets get these buildings back where they belong! cant wait to here more and hope to see the booklet posted up soon as well as a report to the nation!
Please rebuild our towers. Please!
Build both of them back! either the way they were, or even taller, same outside design, bottom floors make the WTC Memorial, and upgraded and hi-tech and technologically advanced! Bring back the nyc skyline, the symbol of NYC, the symbol of America, America’s international image to the world, and the symbol of freedom.
I agree that the replacement should include twin towers. I worked in the original WTC Tower II and loved that building.
I never thought about it, but rebuilding the twin towers as they were is THE PERFECT solution.
Please Rebuild!! I wish to wake up and see those Towers outside my window again! Twin Towers II by Kenneth Gardner is the BEST!
