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. Wednesday, March 13, 2002 7:29 AM Supporting All Victims Mr Kenneth Feinberg: As a taxpayer, a citizen, a regular voter and an American Baptist, I am asking that you please take a moment to read this short e-mail. I am sure it is not the only one you have received, and that you have many to consider. Thanks for your brief attention. The terrorist attacks on September 11th affected ALL Americans. The terrorists did not discriminate based on race, religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, divorce status, immigration status or sexual orientation. It is unconscionable that the United States Government would discriminate in its relief efforts. You state in your public role that you will only follow state laws when addressing compensation for same-sex couples. Yet you consciously override FEDERAL law in providing necessary relief to undocumented immigrants. You are being clearly inconcsistent. Regardless of anyone's personal beliefs about homosexuality, the reality is that gay people suffer, gay people bleed, gay people die. They lose their loved ones, their homes, their lives. The fight bravely for others both in our military and in unselfish acts of heroism that prevented the loss of additional lives on that fateful day. The attacks of September 11th killed thousands. It killed the dreams of thousands more. Please do not contribute to the suffering by denying compensation to those who, unlike yourself, lost the people most precious to them in those few horrible hours. ALL people who lost their family members deserve compensation.
