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 9:00 PM Re: September 11th fund for Victims I am appalled at the comments made by Kenneth Feinberg on NBC's "Meet the Press," March 10, 2002 with respect to allowing or should I say preventing benefits for the life partners of gay men and lesbians who died in the September 11th attacks. To take the stand "to refer to state law" is a down right cop out and blatant bigotry on the part of those in power over the funds. Had I known that Gay men and Lesbian partners of those who died in the attacks would be excluded (once again) I would have thought twice about giving the donations I have given and would have encouraged an organization like HRC (Human Rights Campaign) to start a Gay partner fund. Shame on you Kenneth Feinberg, shame on you 9/11 victim benefits organization, shame on you senators and congressmen for letting this discrimination continue Have some heart, if Ken is allowing for compensation for illegal aliens then why not committed domestic gay partners who are tax paying citizens. Wake up people celebrate our differences and diversity don't let it separate us and make this tragedy worse for our gay brothers and sisters.
