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. Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 8:48 AM I understand that because certain people are not "straight" and are gay they will not be eligible for benefits of the 911 fund. What are you people thinking???!!!??? Isn't the reason for having such a fund is to help ALL victims regardless of whether they are black, white, straight or gay. What is wrong with you people??? Didn't' that awful day teach you anything about patriotism and equality. I cannot believe I gave my money to you people to discriminate against gays. HOW DARE YOU!!!!!! You should be ashamed of yourself. I am also a lesbian and I am proud to be who I am. America is the best country in the world and I'm proud to be an American. But things like this disgust me. Are the lives of gays and lesbians less important than anyone else???I will never give your plan another dime, you will get nothing else from me or anyone I know. You should be ashamed of your actions. You would break US law to give our money to illegal aliens who don't belong here but you won't give help to an American citizen because of who they sleep with. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just grateful you people don't run our country. You should reconsider your position and give the people the help they need instead of worrying about who they sleep with.
