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 8:14 AM Discrimination Policy I was just made aware of your policy to openly discriminate against the surviving partners of gay and lesbian Americans who died in the September 11, 2001 tragedy. September 11 was an attack on all Americans - now in the aftermath, you and others at your fund are using this tragedy to attack another segment of the United States by denying surviving gay and lesbian partners equal compensation from the 9-11 fund you were entrusted to manage. As I understand it, everyone except gay and lesbian surviving partners will receive money from the 9-11 fund - including those who are not even legal American Citizens. So, an illegal immigrant (one who is here by breaking the laws of our land) is more of an American and entitled to more compensation than someone who was born and raised in this country but happens to be gay. I hope God will show mercy on your twisted soul for using such a tragic event to further discrimination against gays and lesbians. You and must have been talking about ways to use this tragedy to further your own twisted agenda of hatred for gays. I would like to know what makes you different from the white bus driver that required blacks to sit at the back of the bus; or The police man that beat black men for drinking out of the wrong fountain?; or Preachers that said slavery and discrimination against blacks was what 'God' wanted? or ... What make you different from those who flew the planes on 9-11? ... all worked for the same agenda - separate America and force us to live in fear.
