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. Wednesday, March 13, 2002 10:01 AM 9/11Victim Fund To Whom it May Concern: Denying access of 9/11 Fund monies to gay and lesbian partners has got to be about the most insulting thing I have heard in the last ten years. And I realize with your position, you're not really "denying," you're only saying they may "not necessarily be eligible." Exactly who do you think you are kidding? We live in a time of great trials for America. Promoting this idea of second-class citizenship is an insult to the lives of all of those people who died. I realize that the concept of tolerance is not a concern for George W. as of late, but he is a busy man with a great deal on his plate. It is a concern for people like Kenneth Feinberg, who should be ashamed of themselves. New York has one of the biggest gay populations of any city in the world. There's even a book called 'The Gay Metropolis' tracing the history of the GLBT Population in New York. Sending a message like this to the people who have loved and supported New York is a message to us. You are telling us to hit the streets on this like ACT UP! used to, because you just don't think about an invisible minority. Shame on the lot of you.
