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, December 04, 2001 3:50 PM Sept. 11 Victims To Whom It May Concern: I write in order to advocate that ALL the victims of the September 11 attacks be able to participate in any governmental funds available on their behalf. Domestic partners and the children of gay parents should be allowed to receive benefits; their loved ones' sexual orientation and marriage licenses should not be the defining measure of who is eligible to receive benefits. Please do the right thing. It was a gay man who was instrumental in saving American lives by fighting the hijackers on one of the American airlines' flights (the one that crashed in Pennsylvania). Surely anyone who believes in justice and fairness and equality for all will recognize that the domestic partners and children of gay people are just as deserving, and just as grief-stricken, as those in traditional heterosexual families.
