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 9:20 PM Outrageous Treatment of Americans To Whom It May Concern: I am writing as an outraged American taxpayer, having learned that partners and families of gay victims of the 9-11 terrorist attacks may not be accorded the same consideration given spouses and families of other 9-11 victims. As explained to me, the federal program is obligated to follow various and conflicting state laws that may or may not accord any rights to the partners of gays and lesbians. However, you are ignoring all federal immigration laws by providing compensation to the spouses and families of law-breaking victims who were in the United States as illegal aliens. Furthermore, no steps are contemplated to deport these spouses and families. A number of the gay victims have been recognized as heroes for their bravery on 9-11. To make them second class citizens, while handing over Americans' tax money to persons in this country illegally -- who are criminals for being here illegally -- just makes me sick to my stomach. I am not gay, but I am sure ashamed to be an American.
