The Twin Towers Need to be rebuilt as The Twin Towers if we don't we have ULTIMATELY Lost to The Terrorists by letting them CHANGE the Skyline of New York But If we do a SUCCESSFUL Rebuild We have WON! AND DON'T FORGET The Twin Towers were People Too and This Memorial isn't Respecting them one bit they laid down their lives but what do they get in return? WATER down their footprints do what's RIGHT AND REBUILD WTC TWIN TOWERS WHY SETTLE FOR LESS?! That Way we are respecting Both The TWIN TOWERS and The 9/11 VICTIMS and their families-Aaron Skinner

I live to see the old towerS back... I want to be an architect and my motivation IS AND WAS the WORLD TRADE CENTER! I've always wanted to go see them in real life... But now... I feel and I'm sorry but the so~called new buildings are so ugly and nowhere near close with blending in with their surroundings. I mean they're making us look held~back with technology... COME~ON, if I'm right...? We are one of the top 3 most advanced technological countries in the world... All I can say is that they have made a big mistake... "YOU CAN'T TURN BACK NOW." Well what's done... is done... But I believe that someday the most beautiful buildings WILL stand again...! And I'm ONLY 17.

Rebuild , Rebuild , Rebuild. The people of this great nation deserve just that. On 9/11 terrorists attempted to destroy America and by rebuilding these once great towers that stood tall in the sky , Would say to the terrorists , No matter what you attempted to do or tried to accomplish you could never and will never destroy the spirit of us Americans.

Please rebuild the Towers to be a true memorial to the ones who lost their lives and to the families that lost their loved ones. Rebuild these Towers for the children , Children that were innocent babies at the time of the tragedy. Give them the experience that we had to enjoy the two beautiful monuments to American architectural ability and beauty.

Rebuild these Towers for America...

I just want to say that America was a great, and powerful nation that could do anything with those towers. But after Bin Laden destroyed the twin towers it tore this beautiful nation apart and 9/11 tore a huge hole right into the heart of America. 9/11 should have never have happened if Osama Bin Laden wasn't even alive. My dad died in the 106th floor in the North tower. So yeah I would like to see 2 gorgeous towers instead of an huge hole. I would like to see America happy again. Two towers. Instead of crying to see my father's name on the board. I want to see the towers again. And so does America. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

The Twin Towers should have been rebuilt. Sadly the Freedom Tower is almost complete and it is impossible to get our skyline back to the way it was before September 11, 2001. I really miss the Twin Towers and nothing can ever replace them.

The Twin Towers had 110 stories while the Freedom Tower only has 104 floors. Is this the way to recover from the worst terrorist attacks on American soil? We have failed and the terrorists have won by changing our skyline. What a shame.

I still to this day believe that the Twin Towers should be rebuilt! They stood for so much more than just the buildings they were, they represent a place in each Americans Heart as our heritage and a proud symbol of our very being. The New World Trade Center idea is nice on the low side, but the Twin Towers were brilliant on the high side, it would show the world that you can take buildings down, but we can build them right back, the lives lost wouldn't be in vain but can be used to maintain to terrorist and the world that WE ARE HERE TO STAY! What a slap in the face to any terrorist group to know that their efforts didn't succeed in taking them away forever!

I think when most of the country wants to rebuild the twin towers, by god we should do it. The government vetoed the act and continued to build a memorial and freedom tower. Let's set things right and restore the World Trade Center to its former glory with the twin towers.

I am from The Netherlands living in Malaysia. I would personally love to see the twin towers be built once more. It just has so much sentimental value for New York. Building different towers all together means the terrorists win. Lets rebuild them but taller and stronger to show that we are not afraid of terrorism. Its basically the same thing as killing a kids mom, then replacing the kids mom with a new one. ITS not the same person!! Lets act now to restore the skyline of New York, to not only fill the hole in New York, but also in our hearts.

Me, personally, I want the Twin Towers rebuilt. But since the Port Authority is so dismissive toward everything that makes sense, who says we have to rebuild the TTs at Ground Zero? Why don't we rebuild them in another part of Manhattan, maybe closer to the Empire State Building?

Really and truly, I don't think the new planned complex at the end of Manhattan deserves to be called the World Trade Center. It's not even worthy of that name! What do you think people at Twin Towers Alliance? If the hard-headed jackasses at the Port Authority continue to dismiss the one, no, two things Americans want, why don't we take the WTC elsewhere in Manhattan? This way the North and South Towers of the WTC return taller than they originally were.

There are people I have met who have no idea about the beautiful and iconic twin towers and the disaster on 9/11/01. I think that rebuilding the towers would restore a necessary and iconic part of not only NY's skyline but America's skyline. Let's rebuild those towers!

Hi there, I have to say how beautiful those 2 towers looked, with the aluminium-alloy facades and sleek windows, Yamasaki must of been very proud of his acomplishment, but the twin towers never got the justification they deserved. It is always the same for critics, you never enjoy the beauty until it is gone.

They definitely made a brilliant set of buildings for America and especially New York.

In my heart being an Engineer I would love to see these much loved buildings rebuilt to exactly the same exterior and interior but much stronger. I have never actually been to the Twin Towers but I am deeply saddened that I did not see their beauty. I hope this becomes a reality.

Rest in peace all the people who died in this horrible disaster.

Please, please folks, let's rebuild the twin towers besides the current freedom tower structures. Rather than pulling down the newly built ones that are a waste of hard earned public funds and efforts, let us increase the skylines AHEAD of the surging chinese infrustructure. After all, we initiated the skyscraper culture and that feat should stay with us. There are so many low rise old and shanty skylines that can be replaced with modern skylines. We also need to spread our skylines all over the New York City rather than cluttering them in Manhattan alone.

Now that we are withdrawing our troops from Afganistan, to boost construction jobs, let's return beauty back to America.

I really want to see the World Trade Centers rebuilt. I am glad there still is a chance to get these remarkable towers see their glory again. I do not think that the freedom towers go well with New York and the World Trade Centers show a better remembrance of 9/11 and is more practical.

If you, citizens of New York (I knew this wonderful Town at 1995 and I saw WTC,) and all Americans will see again a new and strongers and secures Twin Towers but with the same design like the Originals (Twins of them! Is the right word!), these rebuilt give you back and all of us, Americans or not, the power of American People, proof that terrorism NEVER win, and YOU ARE NOT AFFRAID of some radicals and psicotic people (may be inside USA, who knows?). The new WTC give back to NY one of the Principal Symbols that define the City Identity, Like Liberty Statue and the most impotant: Its THE BETTER HOMAGE YOU CAN GIVE TO ALL THOSE INOCENT PEOPLE DIED AT 9.11 AND THESE FAMILIES! God Help You Forever!

I am 15 years of age and I was just 4 when these attacks happened. As I have gotten older I have learned a lot about the attacks and the rebuilding process and I can say that what's going on down there is not right. For the past year I have been spreading the word about the real rebuilding at The World Trade Center Site. I strongly believe that Ken Gardner's (Twin Towers II) plan is the real and respectful plan. I want to look back on the site and see what a great job people have done to get this very well executed plan done. When I have kids I want to tell them that yes they we're knocked down but I also would tell them that we came back bigger, stronger, taller, and safer. Rebuild don't replace Thank you and God Bless.

Rebuild the towers! They were a symbol, not just from New York, but also from America itself! I was 5 years old when i saw the towers go down on tv. Still remember that day. Really love them! They're still in peoples hearts! To rebuild the 2 is the best option for me, not just building one tower!

When I saw a plane hit the twin towers it was a sad moment for me because I knew a lot off people who went to the twin towers before the attack. I would really love them to build the twin towers so who needs the freedom tower when we could build the twin towers back? America with out the twin towers the twin towers standing high up in the sky a better America a better life a better livf for Americans and a better life for everyone so let's beat those terrorists. Let's get our buildings back.

As a loyal American i stand with ALL to REBUILD these awesome symbols of American freedom and enterprise. If Minoru Yamaski was still alive, he would insisted that his towers be rebuilt. Let's do our part and tell congress that this "Freedom Tower" just will NOT DO!!!! I am currently recreating an "N" illuminated scale tribute to these lovely towers for all to enjoy. The site (www.911-project.com) will follow. I will keep everyone posted on the progress on this tribute. "GOD BLESS AMERICA"!!!

If we build something else, the terrorists win. They will know that they can just do whatever they want , but if we rebuild the twin towers, they'll know that we won't surrender, and that we will come back better, and stronger. Those people who built the twin towers built their hearts out. They worked for years and we have to show them we appreciate that. The twin towers were a very famous landmark of N.Y. And now tourists won't know that we had such beautiful twin towers.

I love skyscrapers and I especially loved the Twin Towers, although I never fully remember them I was only about 5 or 6 when they fell. I would love to see them today as the "Golden Towers" By starting over we just show the people who did this to us that we forget easy. I don't think the towers should be exactly the same maybe a few changes and they would be golden colored but there must be the changes because it would be 9/11 all over again if we just built the same thing and they were to be attacked god forbid...The towers should symbolize the old towers, not some made up towers that look futuristic and have nothing to really do with the twin towers besides the words "world trade center"

I was 14 (soon turning 15) on 9/11, remember it well. The outcome of the attacks still makes me sad, and I'm also sad because of how Ground Zero has been, is and will be treated. The current plan is just foolish and doesn't do justice to anyone. To put it simple, the twin towers were and still are irreplaceable, no matter how many out-of-place replacements under the name World Trade Center are built in New York City. Rebuilding the towers would be an honor to everyone and to the city of NY. And yes, I would love to see those towers at least once in my life.

I think this project here is brave and noble, and by signing this I'm proud to be part of it! I'll support you with the best I can from here.

I was a child when those horrific events occurred. A mere child. I watched helplessly on the news that evening, watching what looked like to me, rectangles falling down. I had no idea they would have such an impact on me. Today, as an average high schooler, I realize what the towers stood for. Freedom. America. I'm studying to become an architect, and move my business to NYC, my dream city. Don't let me down. Don't let this government take over. No matter how long it takes, we need those symbolic towers back in our lives. As a lover of skyscrapers, I would do anything to have been, if only for a second, at the top of one of those towers. They were amazing. America, step up. We need them back.

I miss the old structure. I was 6 when 9/11 happened and had only seen the twin towers in pictures and videos. As I got older I realized how much of a great memory they brought when I saw the New York skyline with the twin towers in it. Someday I want to climb to the top and show my kids or even grandchildren what I had thought of doing my whole life. Please, even if it takes 40 years, let's make it happen.

Me and my family were going to go to the Twin Towers on 9/11/01 (planned) until we heard about it happening, so we're really upset. We want the twin towers to be rebuilt so that we can finally go there.
