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. Friday, March 22, 2002 2:46 AM comments I want this to go to the following people, but unsure how to get it there: Kenneth R. Feinberg 9/11 victim compensation fund John Ashcroft U S Department of IN-justice cc President George W Bush cc Senator Diane Feinstien cc Senator Barbara Boxer cc Congresswoman Lois Capps To Whom It May Concern, My older sibling, who is first and foremost an American, is also a gay man. He lives with another gay man, who is also first and foremost, an American. Should one of them, God forbid, have been injured or killed in a terrorist attack, I would assume that it is only right and fair for the other one to be treated the same way as a spouse of any straight, married couple. My brothers partner will always be a member of our family, and if something happened to my brother, then the question of whether or not to share his assets would not even be asked. Therefore, I hope you can understand why I am outraged to learn that you are trying to prevent families, partners, and loved friends of terrorist victims from getting what they are entitled to simply because they are gay. How can you say 'One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All' when you aren't prepared to stand behind those words? You are discriminating against a large part of the American population. I ask you now to reconsider your position. Also, please think about the hundreds of people who would have comments on your position, but who don't have the ability or the medium to speak their mind. Thank you for your time!
