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 4:07 PM Surely level heads will prevail? To whom it may concern: I understand that laws are laws and if we're going to stick by 'em, then fine, let's do so. But let's not selectively choose which laws we're going to bend when it comes to the September 11 relief fund. Bending the rules for unborn fetuses and illegal immigrants is all well and good, but to then turn around and hide behind laws and "states rights" to deny gay and lesbian people the same relief as EVERY OTHER AMERICAN is more distasteful than a mouth full of embalming fluid. (Isn't it interesting how conservatives love to tout the "gay agenda" as being all about "special" laws? And yet, when all we ask for is EQUAL treatment -- not one iota of "special" -- we're slapped in the face with some yahoo right-winger who wants to specifically exclude gay people for something or other.) If you're going to fight for fetuses and aliens to receive relief from the Sept. 11 Fund, then by all means you need to be fighting for gay and lesbian people as well. Anything less would be grossly un-American.
