Tuesday, March 12, 2002 6:07 PM compensation for brave heroic Americans Dear Sir and Mr. President, I am outraged that my country is choosing to discriminate against certain citizens and in some cases even over those same citizens! Illegal aliens are eligible for compensation from the 9/11 attacks and it would seem just about everyone else, everyone EXCEPT for Gays and Lesbians that is. If you follow through with your plan of compensation the way it is then the terrorists have already won. What a shameful day when we discriminate against our own citizens some of whom gave their lives ( for example) to protect other citizens, just ask Senator McCain. Mr. Feinberg, as a Jewish, Gay, American I find your logic reprehensible and embarrassing to us all. Even the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. saw fit to honor the Gays and Lesbians of WWII who perished along side our brethren. If you can't find it in your heart to compensate these grieving families (yes, even we have families) of brave Americans perhaps you should step down and let someone who can, take over. President Bush, we all know how you feel about us (Gay Americans) but in the spirit of decency and fairness I urge you to intervene and right this horrible wrong. That plane that and others brought down could have had your name on it. But for the bravery of ALL Americans an even greater catastrophe was averted. Please do what you know is right, fair and ultimately very American, give all victims their rightful due.
