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. Monday, March 11, 2002 12:33 PM Benefits.... I am appalled to understand that the US Government will not distribute funds helping the families of the victims of the tragic events of September 11th, if those victims happen to be gay or lesbian. The rhetoric of "whatever the law is in your state will apply" is a ridiculous cop-out and a pitiful attempt to shift any blame for such a policy from the governing bodies directly involved to the State of the victim. The many gay and lesbian victims, heroes, and their families and loved ones are no less affected by this tragedy, regardless of who they love. God forbid a young person looks to , or as a role model of what a true hero is, because according to the Government of the United States of America, they are nothing. To call ourselves United States is blasphemy...apparently we're only United when it's convenient and doesn't pose a problem to some politician's public image. To say that you represent, love and honor America...SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.
