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 20, 2002 10:07 PM unamerican Dear Sir/Madam: Your discriminatory policy on compensation to the partners of gay men and lesbians killed in the attacks of September 11th was brought to my attention by a firefighter who risked his life at the WTC that day. He (and I) are outraged that you would duck your moral responsibility to compensate ALL the victims of that attack. How can you justify bending the law to take care of the families of illegal aliens--which is a noble gesture--and ignore those gay and lesbian Americans whose lives were devastated when their partners were killed that day? If the proposed policy sounds un-American to a firefighter who went rushing into the towers that day, then I have to agree. It's not so much about the money as it is about respect for your fellow Americans. I hope you will be able to look everyone in the eye when it comes to discriminating between those who you say are deserving and those who you say are not.
