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 10:32 AM Inclusion of All I just read an article about the September 11th fund and how illegal aliens are being included without penalty (good, it's nice to know that we are treating these people as humans), but that partners of gay and lesbian victims will be included only as their state law allows. Kenneth Feinberg sounds like mister cop-out on that one. How can he refuse to go against the states on the issue of domestic partnerships while totally supporting people who are here in violation of FEDERAL law? Do you really think that is fair? What exactly does Mr. Feinberg need so that he doesn't get his precious hiney sued by the states? I will be contacting Attorney General Ashcroft to recommend that he consider a similarly generous offer for partnerships as he did for illegal aliens. I hope you are also considering the importance of this issue, and how completely unfair it is as it stands. Sincerely, Individual Comment (ps. I am a heterosexual, married citizen from Alabama. I'm not fighting for my own rights, but those of people who are being discriminated against regarding this issue. Their pain has been great enough if they lost a loved one on September 11th - please don't be a source of further pain).
