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 4:00 AM Compensation for Gays/Lesbians To those that are deciding who is eligible for victims' compensation: Your idea that the partners of gays and lesbians do not qualify for compensation is very disturbing. By deciding that compensation can be paid out to other people, including illegal aliens and unborn children, in essence says that your opinion of gays and lesbians falls somewhere lower on the list than all of those other groups that do qualify. Now, if this is the plan that you intend to continue to implement, then perhaps we gays and lesbians of the world should abandon all good intentions when it comes to risking our lives to save the lives of the people that you love. This would certainly make sense, since we wouldn't want to lose our lives knowing that our partners and our children will be left in this world without any hope of financial support from you. Furthermore, you can rest assured that the money and votes that would assist anyone in perpetuating this type of discriminatory practice will dwindle to nothing as more and more people understand the hatred for others that you are fostering in our world.
