Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Saturday, March 16, 2002 6:53 PM UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES I am outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September 11 are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as heterosexual spouses as a part of the Victims Compensation Fund created by Congress. As a 72 year old woman, there has been discrimination in my life since childhood. First, I was taught that the Native Americans were bad people. Next, it was the Japanese so, let's not buy their products. Then the Puerto Ricans were depicted as low class animals. Now, we get to the black-skinned people. They surely were at the bottom of the totem pole. SO THE MESSAGE IS THIS::: WHO SHALL WE FIND TO PICK ON NEXT? OBVIOUSLY A GROUP THAT CANNOT OPENLY FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS. Now, there is discrimination regarding Gay people who died on Sept. 11, 2002. Their families must be compensated on an equal basis as other grieving families by receiving the same amount of money. WHEN THERE IS A WAR....WILL WE KEEP OUT THE GAYS, BLACKS, ORIENTALS, LATINOS & JAPANESE? OR WILL THESE PEOPLE BE NEEDED FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY. LET OUR CONSCIENCE BE OUR GUIDE.
