Monday, March 11, 2002 6:04 PM Final Ruling To Whom it May Concern, I am writing to you in regards to the exclusion of gay and lesbian partners in the final ruling of the victims compensation fund for the attacks on 9/11. I am completely shocked and outraged by this total disregard for gay and lesbian Americans. The heroics of gay men such as &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp and &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp have been well documented. Their memory alone deserves more respect than this final ruling would allow. Mr. John Ashcroft has specifically singled out gay and lesbian Americans for discrimination by this ruling. In an attempt to sidestep his responsibility he has decided to rely upon state law for the determination of the personal representative. Please remind Mr. Ashcroft that these men and women died as Americans not as New Yorkers, Floridians, or Californians. Perhaps Mr. Ashcroft has missed the target of the attack. It was America and it's people, Americans.
