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. Tuesday, March 19, 2002 7:33 PM I am outraged that partners of lesbian and gay heroes of 9/11 are not set to receive the same benefits as heterosexual couples. You say you don't want to break state laws, but it's okay to give benefits to illegal aliens? How does this make sense. This is my country that I love and of which I am ever grateful to be a natural born citizen. When something tragic happens in our country, it is a time grow, and value our diversity, and reach out to each other. If ever there was a time for UNITY, it is NOW. These are true and loving families who have lost their beloved every bit as much as any heterosexual family. Please remind U.S. citizens and the world that America is a country that values every human being equally. If you value one human being's significant other, then you must value the next. Many of these partners of lesbian and gay victim's are already at a severe financial disadvantage as compared to heterosexual spouses because of outdated and discriminatory property laws. Please, please, please help them in an equal way as you will help heterosexual spouses because they are every bit equal as gay/lesbian spoused and as Americans.
