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 1:25 PM September 11 Victim Compensation Fund that discrimination is un-A merican I just wanted to express my dissatisfaction on the recent news on how same-sex partners that had a loved one die on 9/11 will not be compensated? How is this just? If who helped bring down the flight in Pennsylvania did nothing who knows what building that plane was suppose to hit. Or NY Fire Dept. who died in the line of duty when the first tower fell, you saying that his life meant nothing? How can you sit there and justify giving illegal aliens who are in the US in violation of federal law the same benefits, but deprive same-sex partners who are legal, tax paying Americans the same benefits? You'll "If your state law makes you eligible, I will honor state law" but ignore federal law regarding illegal aliens? Doesn't that make you a bigot? "If September 11 has taught us anything, it's that our patriotism and love of country transcend our differences and unite us all. It would be ironic if the generosity of so many Americans in giving to the September 11th Fund were used to further divide us as a people, and send the message to all that some American heroes are more equal than others." This is a sad day indeed for ALL AMERICANS!
