  1. The Statue of Liberty is better-known than the twin towers for New York State. However. the Twin Towers are still an icon and a lot went on in that building. Where are those jobs, now? Restore the buildings, and it restores that many jobs. Restore the buildings, and it restores a major landmark. Restore the buildings – this is our country, and we will show whoever that this is OUR country, and we CAN re-build ourselves over and over and over again.

  2. New York just isn’t New York without the towers and I can’t believe we haven’t rebuilt them yet. The victims would want us to do this. I think we need to show terrorists that even though they took them away, we can put them right back up again, like an animal that can grow back whatever you cut off. Maybe someday they will give up, knowing that no matter what they do, we will always grow back.

  3. Among all the great buildings within New York City and the island of Manhattan like the Chrysler Building, The Empire State, and Rockefeller Center the Twin Towers were needed to complete the signature skyline. We need them back. And it’s time to take action instead of sitting by idly waiting for the freedom tower to be constructed. It does not represent freedom, but fear. Times need to change. There’s nowhere to go but on.

  4. The one comment I hear most arguing against rebuilding is the fact that they will become even larger targets than before. Lets get real folks…no matter what is built, whether large or small, single or double towers, it will be a target. We are FREE, they were a symbol of that freedom. If we allow ourselves to cower, and let those that took the towers and all our citizens from us that day have a tight grip of fear on us, they met their goal. DEFY them! REBUILD THE TOWERS!

  5. I’M ORIGINALLY FROM NEW YORK. I NOW LIVE IN CONNECTICUT AND I SINCE A CHILD WANTED TO SEE THE TOWERS. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL LIKE THE PYRAMIDS OF GIZA. I’M GLAD TO SEE THIS PETITION BECAUSE THIS SO-CALLED FREEDOM TOWER IS A JOKE. REBUILD THE TOWERS AND BRING BACK THAT MEMORY I HAVE OF THE TRUE NEW YORK SKYLINE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

  6. There is nothing more defiant in the face of terrorism than reraising America’s symbols of financial might. The only way to have true towers of freedom is to have towers of fearless defiance.

  8. the twin towers need to be rebuilt, this “war on terror” will be won in symbolic actions such as these, what better way to send a clear message to the fundamentalist murderer that our finest American citizens will spring right back up, I love Trump’s idea to add another story, that’s just absolutely genius

    I pray to the gods that we Americans get a new life of competency. Let’s take the first step and make this decision the right decision

  9. Rebuild the Twin Towers. Most Americans desire it, demand it and as a nation, NEED it. Allowing anything other than the Twin Towers would be a disaster politically, spiritually and mentally to ALL Americans. Anything else in their place is a WIN for the terrorists. Politicians need to finally stand up and take responsibility. WE WANT OUR TOWERS BACK. Show the terrorists that we WILL come back, better than before. HOW UNAMERICAN to do anything else!

  11. The assertions of this petition could not mirror my own deepest feelings any more!!! This is a wake up call to all American citizens — please, please please do not allow New York City to be permanently scarred!! There would be too much office space lost, and this is ridiculous! Please do not give our enemies any satisfaction to realize that they’ve succeeded in intimidating us!!!

  12. The only fitting memorial to all the innocent lives lost on 9-11 would be to rebuild the twin towers as they were – a bit stronger; a bit taller, sure, but, as they were on 9-10-01. And not, definatly not that so called winning design. Not only is that whole concept a very poor memorial – it’s just plain UGLY!!! The twin towers stood tall, proud and very beautiful

  13. Rebuild the TwinTowers! Bigger & Better! Stronger & Safer! I can’t believe construction is not already on its way, or even completed by now! What’s NY waiting on!? The longer NY goes w/out towers, the more it appears weak. As if allowing the third-world finatics to have won with their evil. We need to build those towers back up bigger and brighter than ever before. They were (are) a symbol of not only NY but America’s might. Stop pussy-footing around! The victims would want us to rebuild!

  14. The twin towers need to be rebuilt as they were. They were a symbol of American pride and capitalistic virtue. By rebuilding the towers exactly as they were, we are telling our enemies foreign and domestic that we will not cave in to the tyrannical forces that wish us harm. Our forefathers fought for this great country, will we?

  15. If we don’t rebuild them better than they were, then the terrorists will have won. Why can’t we rebuild them without the achilles heal that the original stuctures had. Build them stonger to sway in the face of adversity!

  16. Rebuild, stronger, and with the spirit the original towers were built with. Push them as high as technology can push. They were here my whole life. They stood as symbols for everything america is about. Don’t settle for mediocre. With the “Freedom Tower”, it feels like we are giving up on America.

  17. If they weren’t destroyed, they’d still be there. And what better way to say, “In your face”, than to put them back up, better than ever.

  18. It’s called the “Freedom Tower”, and its 1776 ft tall. That is pathetic; it’s like an emotional whimpering squeal of a desperate comeback. Furthermore, the Twin Towers stood more for our economic triumph than our freedom. It is a symbol that can only be replaced by none other than itself.Structures and what they stand for, are essentially immortal. It is ultimately our decision however, to resurrect it, or to let it be desecrated and vanquished by our enemies.

  21. I think we owe it to the people who lost their lives and their families to rebuild these towers. they should be built in memory of the victims and show that this nation will remain united and stronger than ever!! RIP 9/11 victims.

  22. I’m sorry but…, the Freedom Tower & the other WTC buildings just don’t have the same physical & emotional presence that the Twin Towers of the WTC had.

  23. Rebuild them to show those who wish to destroy this country(both foreign AND domestic)that we will NOT go quietly.That OUR voices WILL be heard!That justice WILL be served!! That our citizens who love this country will prevail and destroy all those who wish to do us harm!!!

  24. It saddens me that after 6 years we have not rebuilt the towers, still just a hole in the ground that only serves as tribute to the sucess of the terrorist act.

    LET’S REBULD THEM AND MAYBE OUR PRIDE AS WELL!!
