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 12, 2002 10:49 AM I was appalled to learn that funds from the September 11th fund will be divied up in such a way that diminutizes important gay and lesbian familial relationships. The inconsistencies of the policy are abhorrent. It is especially predujicial of the funds' allotment when Attorney General Ashcroft is allowing for immigration law to be compromised, but refuses to compensate life partners of gays and lesbians killed in the September 11th attacks. While these individuals gave their lives on that date, it is apparent their loved ones' pain and suffering is less than that of others who too lost loved ones. The judiciousness is an unfair estimate by accepting what was given (someone's life, someone's partner's life) but not giving anything in return. I am disappointed and angered by the unequitable standard that has been set when it comes to all individuals affected by the attacks. It is apparent that the current administration feels some lives are held in higher regard than others. It makes me saddened and ashamed to see our country's government act with such callous and unfair favor when it comes to its citizens that gave so much on that day. Sincerely, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-12 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
