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.

In wake of the catastrophic consequences of America’s withdrawal in Afghanistan, it seems more appropriate now than ever to heal the wounds of 9/11 with a symbol of rebirth, strength, and honour. The indelible absence of the Twin Towers along with America’s abysmal mishandling of its foreign policy has added fuel to the ever growing impression that America has lost its sense of self determination that served as the driving force behind it’s very founding. 9/11 still casts a long and melancholic shadow over the West that has had a profound effect on the American psyche. But by rebuilding the Twin Towers to their original glory, it would end 20 years of American mourning and start an epoch of rebirth and hope. America’s long road to recovery can begin, with the construction of the Twin Towers. Two Towers, that would serve as a symbol for a new era of America, one that honours the loss of those that died that fateful day, by giving back to the American people an icon that belongs to them. By beginning with raising the World Trade Centre, America can fix it’s gaze to ever newer heights and ever brighter futures. Look up to the stars, America. Your dreams can be as tall as the towers!
