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 12:58 PM I am appalled! I am appalled to hear that gay people are being discriminated against in the sharing of the victim benefits of loved ones who died on September 11th. This is totally unacceptable. There were many gay heroes among those who died including and their partners deserve to be treated equally with everyone else. It is bad enough that the fund is not really distributing it equally even among other victims...and of course we know that some of the families of illegal aliens who died who cleaned the towers for those who worked there will probably get nothing. If there is going to be compensation... it should be fair and equitable. Stop playing games...it only proves to be divicive in the end! And if anything should have brought people together it would be something like this happening! As a tax payer I demand that gay people be treated as equal sufferers in this tragedy. Their grief is not diminished by their status as gay people! And this country should not treat them as less! 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.
