Wrong For America
The American people want a World Trade Center that is worthy of the name. What we are getting instead is an insult and an embarrassment. Twin Towers that never rise again would signal a vanquished America and testify to our decline. The current plan reeks of timidity. Like a giant billboard, it is advertising that we no longer dare to be daring. The American Dream is being sold short. The so-called National September 11th Memorial is another travesty of irrelevance and corruption. All of this is the sorry result of sidelining the people in favor of the not-so-special interests. It is proof of how much harm arrogant, self-serving officials can do, if they go unchecked.
For almost two years the TTA has been engaged in a daily struggle to bring the truth of what is going on to the public’s attention in the face of widespread distortions. The official logo of the rebuilding effort, which is plastered all over the WTC site, shows the Twin Towers wrapped in the American flag. This is a dishonest subliminal message that we are rebuilding the Twin Towers, when in fact we are doing nothing of the sort. This is characteristic of the sneaky way the issue has been misrepresented from the start.
What is happening at Ground Zero is WRONG FOR AMERICA — it was wrong yesterday, it is wrong today, and it will be wrong tomorrow. So what are we going to do about it? As we have often pointed out, the supporters of this cause are remarkably bipartisan, making this the natural starting point for the American people to come together to reassert our power over those who manipulate us and who treat us as second-class citizens. If we are serious about controlling our own destiny, then we have to challenge the vested interests that have hijacked our system. So, LET IT BEGIN HERE.
The forces that are entrenched at Ground Zero are typical of what’s wrong with our country. In straightening out this mess, we will be strengthened to tackle everything that needs correcting across the nation. The media has given this fake World Trade Center such an air of inevitability that objecting may seem like a losing battle. But that’s only how it seems, NOT how it is. George Washington lost most of the battles of the American Revolution and then won the war. What kept him fighting? What kept his soldiers fighting? Spirit and conviction — and we’re strong on both.
Those who are behind the profit-driven, agenda-driven plan for Ground Zero are trying to overpower us. They are animated by neither spirit nor conviction, but just a sense that they can do whatever they want and no one can stop them. We are by no means anti-business/anti-profits, but there are higher priorities at the site of the most lethal attack in our history. A rogue governor, spineless politicians, and an array of selfish interests have made a mess of things, but whatever it takes, we can get this turned around. We can do it. And anyone who thinks we can’t or wonders why we would bother should think again.
This nation was built upon the rock of reliance in the good sense of the people. That is the key to our greatness. We can’t leave it to official America or corporate America to use our country as their private vehicle to take them wherever they choose to go. Coming together to win back our Towers will bring tremendous dividends and leave us with thrilling proof for the future that the American people are in charge of their country.
If you want to be part of this fight, we need all the help we can get:
1. Please make it a priority to watch our video tribute to the Twin Towers — Dream No Small Dreams – and then send it to at least ten others and ask them to forward it on. If you can take the time to mark it a Favorite, rate it, and leave a comment, that would be most helpful and could bring it to the attention of the YouTube officials for wider promotion.
2. Contribute whatever you can – it’s tax deductible and it goes 100% to promotion. And we have some very effective plans just waiting for the means to carry them out.
3. Check out the Restoration Alternative page on our website for information on a new site that is going to make it clear that we can do a much better job of rebuilding the World Trade Center and there is nothing hypothetical about it.
4. Go to our CafePress shop (Accept No Substitutes) where you can order bumper stickers and other items that will help raise the profile of the effort to rebuild the Twin Towers.
On this Presidents’ Day, please choose to stand with us and be part of something that will raise Americans’ spirits as nothing else could.
Our warm thanks for your continuing support.
The Twin Towers Alliance
