“Answers Instead of Excuses”

An Action Plan to Rescue the World Trade Center

The Twin Towers Alliance is preparing a “stumpitechture” ad campaign around the image above and the “Answers Instead of Excuses” solution to the World Trade Center disgrace. Click on the image to see the pdf version of the ad. We are approaching potential donors, because all we need to find are a few civic-minded individuals with not just money, but also vision and guts, to make the campaign a stunning reality and get people asking the questions that could still save our World Trade Center.

What apologists for the current scheme miss is that this is not a matter of sentimentality. Nothing could make us feel better about our country than restoring our treasured skyline. But what we find so unacceptable is that, while the horror of 9/11 was spawned in a Middle East cesspool, the ongoing victimization of the American people at the site has been carried out by our own government, with the implicit support of the media. If we just shrug and move on it will degrade the character of our country. We resolve not to let that happen.

If officials that we put in office to serve our best interests can ignore us, deceive us, and rob us over something that is so sacred to our country, then where will it stop? It won’t. That is what this is all about. The Twin Towers and the lives within them were destroyed by something that was beyond our control, but what rises at Ground Zero is rightfully our call.

Please note: We came across the term “stumpitechture” on the ny.curbed.com blog. We don’t know if they coined it or not, but it certainly does sum up the current “plan.”
