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 our 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 have always 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 transcendent day.

The Twin Towers were an icon for NYC. Having them rebuilt stronger would also show that terrorism will not change the USA and that they will always rise back up and rebuild.
