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. Friday, March 22, 2002 10:50 AM An American Family To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to voice my deep disappointment in the government's inclination to deny benefits to the life partners of the gays and lesbians who were victims of the September 11 attacks. I had believed that, if nothing else, the events of last fall taught us all that our patriotism and faith in one United States of America transcended all those boundaries that formerly divided us. The government apparently agrees -- at least enough to grant benefits to illegal aliens and fetuses who lost loved ones in the attacks. The fact that the government will not grant these same benefits to survivors of committed same-gender partnerships, even if demonstrated by domestic partnership registration, joint real estate or other legal documents, is unconscionable. As a tax-paying, voting citizen of the greatest country in the history of the world, I am ashamed.
