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. Monday, March 18, 2002 12:15 AM 9/11 Fund I just received a very disturbing e-mail that claims that partners of gay Americans injured in the 9/11 tradegy will not receive any compensation for their lost. It further stated that aliens who are in this country illegally will receive monies from this fund and that it will not jeopardize their continued stay here. Please tell me that this e-mail is a hoax and that there is no truth to it. I am a 63 year-old blonde, blue-eyed, straight, white American woman. I was raised in a very segregated part of this country and have spent my life trying to overcome the prejudice that I was taught. I taught my daughter to judge every person she meets based on their morals, personality, and trustworthiness. This includes people of other races and people who have a different sexual orientation than ourselves. As a result we have opened our lives to receive love, kindness, and friendship from some of the most important people in our lives. These people are not just Americans, they are some of the best Americans I have known. I seriously doubt that anyone trying to escape from the horror of September 11th stopped to ask the sexual orientation of the person(s) trying desparately to help them reach safety. Do we have the right to ask now? I think not!
