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. Monday, March 18, 2002 9:25 AM Victim Compensation I find it outrageous that everyone, including loved ones of illegal aliens, are to be compensated for the horrible events of September 11, except for the partners of gay and lesbian victims. The reasoning behind denying any compensation for these people is seriously flawed and needs to be re-examined. Several of the heros of 9/11 were openly gay. Some played major roles in the events: , who helped bring down the flight in Pennsylvania, and N.Y. Fire Dept. , who died in the line of duty when the first tower fell, and , the of the plane that crashed into the . It is unthinkable that these people's heroism, sacrifice and loss is going to go unacknowledged because of the last form of bigotry that is socially sanctioned in this country, namely homophobia. This is not a time to placate the Christian Right by denying benefits to Americans that truly deserve them. ALL people that lost loved ones need to be included, whether some segments of society have a problem with that or not. Please do the right thing, and re-examine this policy.
