The Twin Towers Alliance Petition When someone dies it is impossible to bring them back to life, but we are given a unique opportunity to do just that in this case; 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 words of the petition ring as true now as they did in 2006. And the thousands of comments that have been left since we first posted it are just a glimpse into how much people cared about rebuilding the World Trade Center in a way that would honor the will of the people and the price this country – and the world – paid on 9/11. Now, even though a third tower has joined the two pictured above, the WTC skyline doesn't come close to the awe-inspiring vision of the towers we lost. We trust that time will take care of rebuilding the Twin Towers. From their inception, they were dedicated to world peace and cooperation in ways that no other commercial structure ever was. And, they came to represent the aspirations of millions of people as no other towers ever could. They should not have been abandoned. We have faith that one day the people of this country and the world will recognize the Twin Towers' powerful significance and demand they be restored to the world's skyline. We thank each one who adds his or her name and comment to the petition below for moving our world one step closer to that day.

My father used to work in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. I was born early in 2001, and visited the WTC complex as a baby. Growing up in NYC, the skyline became scarred. I would love to see the WTC be rebuilt so that people like me, survivors and families could relive the past in the future, and refresh the vibrant experience that the WTC provided.
As a victim and survivor of 9/11 I would love to see another tower built
The Twin Towers brought the NYC skyline to life, not only people died that day the lower part of Manhattan did too losing part of its iconic symbol. The only way to fully restore the NYC skyline and heal lower Manhattan is to build back the Twin Towers, we don’t need new we need the same but better. NYC will never be the same with One but fully restored with Two.
Put them back up because they had no business being taken down in the first place. If you accidentally knock over your glass of milk you dont refill it with soda put them back the way they were.
I just want to say that America was a great, and powerful nation that could do anything with those towers. But after Bin Laden destroyed the twin towers it tore this beautiful nation apart and 9/11 tore a huge hole right into the heart of America. 9/11 should have never have happened if Osama Bin Laden wasn’t even alive. My dad died in the 106th floor in the North tower. So yeah I would like to see 2 gorgeous towers instead of an huge hole. I would like to see America happy again. Two towers. Instead of crying to see my father’s name on the board. I want to see the towers again. And so does America. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
I cant tell you how much it would mean to me to see those towers go back up. i know so many people who did not make it, and New York City has never been the same for me. every person i have talked to agrees with me that those towers belong in NYC’s skyline. i will never forget what i saw that day, and to have those towers back would mean the world.
As a kid growing up in Jersey City, the image of the twin towers standing is everything to me. For 15 years I seen those towers day and nite so please rebuild it and restore the skyline to its glory. My father worked in those towers for years including 911 and spending time there with him were some of the greatest memories I have. Let others enjoy this just like I have. Rebuild them please!
I would rather like the TwinTowers2 in a New York skyline than some modern building, which some people want to make New York modern, but i think it’s rather sick.. it’s what suites New York best, and the Twin Towers do that job perfectly!
I think we should rebuild the towers because the terrorists taking them from us and us not rebuilding them is almost like letting them win. We need to rebuild them and make them better than ever to show them America can overcome anything. God Bless America.
Rebuild them, i want to take my children up to the skydeck again and show them the beautiful city of New York.
Please rebuild.
Please rebuild the Twin Towers.

I think it’s important to rebuild the twin towers to show the world and ourselves that we stick together and become stronger. The point of rebuilding the twin towers is to show the importance of remembering and not to forget. Remember the Alamo!
Only rebuilding a set of twin towers can properly do justice to all of the people affected in any way by the events on the 11th of September and the weeks, months, and years that have followed.
as can be left in oblivion the symbol of New York and not caring about the opinion of New Yorkers leaves a lot to say about these people
i never got a chance to see the twin towers i think they should re build it!
