What we build must above all show the strength of our recovery more than the severity of our wounds. Any retreat from the scale of the destroyed Towers is an act of surrender to the will of those who slaughtered thousands, and a betrayal of those who died at their hands. Terrorists sought to humble America, to “cut us down to size”, and we disgrace ourselves unless we show their failure rather than their success. We must build anew in a fashion that inspires awe, through both immensity and ingenuity, and fulfills the great motto of the Empire State: “Excelsior”…ever upward!
The Surrender Tower or Insanity Tower is substantially an empty shell of modern, ugly design. It’s no replacement for the magnificent Twin Towers. By not rebuilding them, we tell the world that we are too afraid to rebuild New York City.
The Freedom Tower only restores the skyline halfway. Two soaring Twin Towers would honor those we lost by celebrating their lives and standing as a proud symbol of our resilience and defiance against those who wish to destroy us.
It sickens me to see politicians put their political agenda before America, and to settle for surrender to our enemies. We MUST RE-BUILD the Twin Towers, and show the world that America will not surrender! We must make America happen again! Anything less, such as the ‘Freedom Tower’, should be named Alqueda Plaza, wit a big fat white flag on top of it, showi9ng our pathetic lack of pride and belief in all that has made America the hope and inspiration to the world.
New York City isn’t New York City without the Twin Towers. When the original towers were built, they completed the New York City skyline. I see no reason why the towers can’t be rebuilt. Just be more careful as far as security this time around. The Twin Towers need to stand tall in New York again.
america needs and wants to have the twin towers rebuilt at any cost. these towers are our national identity and a sign of our pride and power. the freedom tower is not an option. it is truly an eyesore and will not give new york and the country what we need.
Rebuilding the Twin Towers is the only way to bring back what we lost as New Yorkers, and for our great city. By not rebuilding, we’re giving in to those awful cave dwellers and letting politicians stand in our way. When something is destroyed, it’s rebuilt! Why is it that other countries are getting taller buildings but we can’t get Twin Towers, this is an insult, a shame! Let’s start over, no more nonsense or political talk. It’s time to REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS AND BETTER! I missed them!
THE TOWERS NEED TO BE REBUILD,FOR THE HEALING PROCESS TO BE COMPLETE & TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT THE TOWERS DOWN,THAT WE WILL ALWAYS RISE UP ,FROM THE ASHES.
Let’s not build a monument that will give Osama and his cowardly pigs an opportunity to boast that an elaborate new tower is really a tribute to their success. Rebuild the towers as they were, but stronger! Show the world we’re still here, but stronger! Let the towers be our symbol of strength and determination to rid the world of the Osama virus.
The ONLY possible thing to do is restore the great Twin Towers! How can one unattractive building replace two magnificent structures that stood for Peace? This is New York Engineering at its best and skyscrapers that defined a skyline!
NYC desreves the WTC back !! We should at least get a tower back which is a landmark as the WTC was!! It would takeapprox. ten years to build so many memoroes from some people will have lighten a bit. Tom

Anything short of rebuilding is honoring the terrrorists!

rebuild taller & stronger than before…what a memorial that would be!
New York, the US, and the World needs to have the Towers rebuilt.
The best thing to do would be to rebuild the twin towers.

From Long Island. Lets show what it is to truly be american. Lets not show that we will live in fear. Lets Rebuild them for our children and theirs!
THE ISLAND WILL REMAIN UNBALANCED AND THE SHADOW OF THE TOWERS A GAPING WOUND UNTIL WE SUMMON THE COURAGE TO REBUILD.
Always think of 9/11 and what the city went through.
The Freedom Tower would never be able to restore what was lost that tragic day. Rebuilding the towers is the only answer.
Build them tall so we may once again occupy the sky.
THE TOWERS NEED TO BE REBUILD,FOR THE HEALING PROCESS TO BE COMPLETE & TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT THE TOWERS DOWN,THAT WE WILL ALWAYS RISE UP ,FROM THE ASHES.
This petition says it all.
Rebuild the towers, anything else is just a trophy for the terrorists! God bless the U.S.A.
