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. Tuesday, March 19, 2002 7:03 PM Dear 9-11 Victim Compensation, September 11th was a day on which America got a wake up call. On that day, America realized that its citizens were not made of Mexican-Americans, Italian-Americans, Asian-Americans, African-Americans, or any other type of hyphenated-Americans. Instead, American realized that alll its citizens were just plain Americans. It deeply outrages me how the families and partners of gay and lesbian heroes that died on September 11th will not necessarily receive the same benefits as the families and spouses of heterosexual victims of the terrorist attacks of that day. In a land that believes that all men are created equal, an idea that our country has gone to war over and over, it makes me ashamed that the Victim Compensation Fund will not cover the partners of the gay and lesbian heroes even though FETUSES AND ILLEGAL ALIENS are covered. In fact, it is willing to overlook federal law and not arrest or deport the families of illegal aliens. How, then, does it make sense to exclude the families of gay and lesbian heroes? Please take the time to reconsider this um-American exclusion. Sincerely, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-19 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
