If you have already signed and would like to change categories, please re-submit your signature, using the same e-mail address. As soon as your new signature is confirmed via e-mail, the old one will be deleted. Note that you will have to retype your comment, if you left one. This method could also be used to correct typos made in a previous comment.
Please Note: This petition is meant to provide a forum for this subject alone. It is a petition, not a bulletin board. We will not sanitize controversial remarks if the comments are primarily in support of the petition's purpose. But off-topic remarks are subject to removal on a case-by-case basis to keep the focus where it belongs. Thank you. Important Mention: Those who read back over the comments will find that from time to time we have highlighted excerpts to help those who only have time to skim a page get a sense of what people are thinking and feeling. We rarely do that now and it was never a methodical effort, but just a window on public opinion regarding this monumentally important issue. The important thing to know is that no comment matters more than any other. Each one is valued and helps make the case that the public was sidelined on something that mattered so much. TTA Note: Occasionally a current signature will disappear. When that happens it is because someone who has already signed the petition signs a second time and when the second signature is validated the two are automatically merged and appear in the original chronology. If someone leaves a second signature and comment, it automatically overwrites the earlier placement when the validation link is activated. If it isn't activated, or it is made using a different email address, there will be duplicate signatures. When we recognize that someone has signed before, we will delete the earlier entry and, if it was verified, verify the new one, since the clear intention is to make the new comment visible. We may decide to manually include the earlier comment at the end of the current message. Regarding anonymous signatures: Taking a stand using one's full name is always preferred, but when a name is withheld, the signature and sentiments are still of value. In every case, we have an email address that corresponds with the entry and is kept private. * Indicates that the signer has not yet activated the validation link, often due to spamblocking software. They are included out of respect for the sincerity of the comments.

As much as I loved the original Twin Towers and despise the current “rebuilding” plan, there’s not much we can do at this point. Towers 1 & 4 are on their way to completion with 2 & 3 slowly following. Even if we were somehow able to stop the current plan, which is highly unlikely, there would be no place to build new twins because the layout doesn’t fit it considering the memorial is finished. We would then have to demolish the site and start from scratch, taking another 10+ years to build. The Twin Towers were icons and symbols of New York City and I know I will miss them terribly. It’s always great to be optimistic but sometimes we have to be realistic and accept the fact that we can’t always change everything. It’s sad, but true.
TTA Note: This is a petition, not a bulletin board, for those who agree with the petition’s purpose. But we will not remove the signature or comment since he loved the Twin Towers and despises the current plan. The fact that he has been misinformed makes him one of millions who are drawing faulty conclusions about what is and isn’t feasible and would love to be proved wrong. Anyone who spends time on this site should be able to see that we are not fools and only a fool would continue, if the scenario he presents above were true. It is not. That will become explicitly clear.
