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 1:00 PM Why Should We Care To whom it concerns, it has come to my attention that partners of gays and lesbians will not be eligible for any of the benefits for the 9-11 fund. This being while one of the of one of the planes was gay, who was lauded by Senator John McCain as a hero and others sacrificed their lives so you people can continue to sit in Washington, DC to discriminate against us even more. Why should we care about what happened when you think so low of us that you would even give benefits to illegal aliens while denying us the same. To us, there is little difference between you and the likes of Osama bin Laden. You both hate us, but only because your positions of power and in life are different, your ways of hurting us are different. This issue will not go away, because many of us will not let it. We are going to make it a major issue at gay and lesbian pride celebrations in June. I wonder if Osama bin Laden will know about how your are betraying your heroes. By this you widen an already existing wedge between some of the people you allegedly represent giving him at least a small victory. We are not amused.
