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 6:30 PM Post 9/11 Patriotism To Whom It May Concern: As an American citizen, it comforts me to think that our congress has set monies aside specifically to care for the families of 9-11 victims. As a queer woman, it angers me to think that had I died my loved ones would not be compensated for my death. Honestly, all of the post-9-11 patriotism has stirred my faith in "American Values" in democracy and freedom and liberty. Words that for so long seemed empty have regained meaning for me. To find that the Victim Compensation Fund is discriminating against the life-partners of queer victims... breaks down the wall of hope that I have been building within myself. Only by using the democratic system, by making my voice heard can I keep pessimism and cynicism from flooding back in. Please, show our nation and the world what American Values are. Please show that Americans are Americans without qualification. Please treat the loved ones of all Americans fairly.
