Is there a map of the qualifying area? More on injury criteria?

In my case I was injured, suffering broken bones, while trying to get
further away from the World Trade Center Tower 2 when it started to
collapse. Since the tower was very tall it seemed at the time that it would
fall my way.  On Sept 11 I was taken to New Jersey and a NYPD officer took a
statement from me after the hospital finished doing a closed reduction on my
fractured radius and a splint, I haven't heard anything since.  Because I
was able to get around a corner to get protection, I was not hit by debris,
but I was hurt trying to avoiding being hit. The injuries required surgery
later on. Is there something more to clarify this area. Most of the info I
see on the website seems geared to people who were killed....Thanks

Compensate ALL Victims

To: Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs, Civil Division
U.S. Department of Justice

Dear Mr. Zwick,

I hope that when your department begins deciding how compensation is 
distributed to the families of the victims of the September 11th attacks, that you will be sure to include the partners, families, and non-biological children of lesbian and gay victims.

Even if these people were not their biological parents they are no less 
parents and providers of their surviving family members.  This is a time to truly help people, not discriminate against the families of same-sex couples.

Thank you,

To Mr. Feinberg:

I am writing to urge you to ensure fair treatment for all surviving families of the tragedy on
September 11th, including the children and families of low-wage workers and gay and lesbian
families.

Under traditional rules based on lost wages, the survivors of a bond trader earning millions of
dollars per year might receive thousands of times as much compensation as the survivors of a
dishwasher in one of the restaurants destroyed. Justice requires looking far beyond the last
paycheck to the inherent worth of all those killed, so that a high minimum compensation level is
set to lessen the disparities. It would be a double blow to the survivors to first lose their loved
one and then watch as most of the taxpayer money went to those who were already well off in the
first place.

The second major issue has to do with recognizing the legitimacy of gay and lesbian relationships
and families. Gay and lesbian families are especially vulnerable when one partner is killed.
Because the option of marriage is unavailable, these families may find themselves in the
traumatic predicament of having to prove that their union is legitimate. Fortunately, both the Red
Cross and the State of New York have already announced that they will not discriminate against
gay and lesbian families. The Department of Justice should do the same.

Thank you for considering my comments. I look forward to hearing how you will act on these
very important issues.

Sincerely,
 Individual Comment

Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick,

I write as a member of Amnesty International, a worldwide human rights
movement committed to ensuring respect for the basic human rights of people
without discrimination, in support of equal access to benefits under the
September 11 Victims Relief Fund for all victims, regardless of sexual
orientation or marital status. As you know, the United States has
committed to uphold international human rights standards, including the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, which prohibit arbitrary discrimination.
  
As you consider rules for administering the relief fund, I ask that you
apply basic international human rights standards, and the general principle
of equality, by including among relatives eligible for compensation those
who lost their life partners, as well as de facto parents or children,
without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.  The State of New
York has already adopted such a policy, granting compensation benefits "on
a showing of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that
anyone who shared with the victim living expenses, day to day activities
and the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need."

Many lesbian and gay people were killed in the September 11th attacks.
Since then, lesbian and gay surviving partners of those killed have had
mixed results in obtaining equal treatment at the local level in the
distribution of relief funds by private and state agencies.  An inclusive
policy on the part of the federal government would help establish an
important principle for other such funds.  In compensating victims, real
justice will be served only when all families - and all types of families -
impacted by the human rights tragedy of September 11 are treated with
dignity and equality. 

Thank you for considering my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you
about your efforts to ensure that all surviving victims of the September 11
attacks have equal access to the relief fund.


Sincerely,

Re:  VICTIMS COMPENSATION FUND                        Non-economic:  PAIN &amp; SUFFERING

Dear Mr. Zwick:

We lost our only son in the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001.  He was 38 years old.  We will live with this terrible nightmare the rest of our lives.

While we truly believe that most of the compensation should go to his wife and children,
however, as the law stands now, we have no rights as parents to receive compensation for our horrific pain and suffering.

Our lives have been destroyed and yet we have no rights as parents to receive compensation for our horrific pain and suffering.

Our lives have been ruined by his loss and yet we have no rights as parents to receive
compensation for our horrific pain and suffering.

Our lives have been turned up-side-down and yet we have no rights as parents to receive compensation for our horrific pain and suffering.

Our pain is devastating and will last a lifetime and yet we have no rights as parents to receive compensation for our horrific pain and suffering.  

Our son can never be replaced -OUR RIGHT AS PARENTS IS TO HAVE A LIFETIME OF  PAIN AND SUFFERING.

A Parents' Pain and Suffering should be part of the non-economic fund's regulation.  Our Pain &amp; Suffering should be completely separate and apart from the compensation that the wife and children are going to receive.  It should not be included as one package  in the award to the wife and children, even if it is written clearly as such.  This will cause MUCH FRICTION  in surviving families -  DO NOT DO THIS!!  A way should be found to include parents as "beneficiaries" under the Fund  without at the same time reducing the amounts otherwise payable to the surviving spouse and children. 

Thanking you in advance, we remain 

Sincerely Yours, 

Parents of

Special Master Kenneth R. Feinberg
September 11th Victim Compensation Fund
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20530

To Mr. Feinberg:

I am writing to urge you to ensure fair treatment for all surviving families of the tragedy on September
11th, including the children and families of low-wage workers and gay and lesbian families.  Under
traditional rules based on lost wages, the survivors of a bond trader earning millions of dollars per
year might receive thousands of times as much compensation as the survivors of a dishwasher in one of
the restaurants destroyed. Justice requires looking far beyond the last paycheck to the inherent worth of
all those killed, so that a high minimum compensation level is set to lessen the disparities. It would be a
double blow to the survivors to first lose their loved one and then watch as most of the taxpayer money went to those who were already well off in the first place.

The second major issue has to do with recognizing the legitimacy of gay and lesbian relationships and 
families. Gay and lesbian families are especially vulnerable when one partner is killed. Because the
option of marriage is unavailable, these families may find themselves in the traumatic predicament of
having to prove that their union is legitimate. Fortunately, both the Red Cross and the State of New
York have already announced that they will not discriminate against gay and lesbian families. The Department of Justice should do the same.

Thank you for considering my comments. I look forward to hearing how you will act on these very important issues.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
Hoboken, NJ

victims are victims


December  19, 2001

Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick,

I write as a member of Amnesty International, a worldwide human rights
movement committed to ensuring respect for the basic human rights of people
without discrimination, in support of equal access to benefits under the
September 11 Victims Relief Fund for all victims, regardless of sexual
orientation or marital status. As you know, the United States has
committed to uphold international human rights standards, including the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, which prohibit arbitrary discrimination.
  
As you consider rules for administering the relief fund, I ask that you
apply basic international human rights standards, and the general principle
of equality, by including among relatives eligible for compensation those
who lost their life partners, as well as de facto parents or children,
without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.  The State of New
York has already adopted such a policy, granting compensation benefits "on
a showing of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that
anyone who shared with the victim living expenses, day to day activities
and the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need."

Many lesbian and gay people were killed in the September 11th attacks.
Since then, lesbian and gay surviving partners of those killed have had
mixed results in obtaining equal treatment at the local level in the
distribution of relief funds by private and state agencies.  An inclusive
policy on the part of the federal government would help establish an
important principle for other such funds.  In compensating victims, real
justice will be served only when all families - and all types of families -
impacted by the human rights tragedy of September 11 are treated with
dignity and equality.

Thank you for considering my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you
about your efforts to ensure that all surviving victims of the September 11
attacks have equal access to the relief fund.


Sincerely,

Individual Comment
Philadelphia, PA

Civil Division
Main Building, Room 3140

Washington, D.C. 20530

Dear Mr. Zwick:

With heavy hearts we write this letter to you representing not only ourselves, but the
hundreds of other families whose loved ones were either hurt or killed in the tragic events
of September 11, 2001.  On that day, our lives spiraled out of control.  Writing this letter to
you in response to your request for comments about the Victims Compensation Fund is
one step in our efforts at regaining control over our new lives, and learning to have hope
for tomorrow.

The Victims Compensation Fund's intent is to make whole the families of the victims
While the fund is set up as a convenient, expedient process, we are concerned and do share
some reservations about its ability to make us whole.

OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD

Most importantly, we are concerned that we will not be given a complete and full
opportunity to be heard, should we choose to do so.  Each of us rightfully deserves the
opportunity to be fairly heard before a hearing officer.  We would like to have the occasion
to present evidence through our own testimony and the testimony of expert witnesses.  We
would like for each of our cases to be considered on a case-by-case basis.  For many of us,
being given the right to be heard is a crucial and extremely valuable part of our healing
process.  Lack of economic means should not foreclose such an opportunity.  We hope that
you can understand this.

Currently, most, if not all of us, are in financial distress.  We do not have the economic
means to hire the necessary experts for our particular cases.  We do not want to be
precluded from retaining the services of these expert witnesses simply because of our own
financial inability to do so.  Therefore, we believe that all expert fees should be paid
directly out of the compensation fund by the Special Master, and that there should be no
limit on garnering such fees.

RIGHT TO APPEAL AND FORM OF PAYMENT

One of our greatest concerns is that the current statutory schemes are removing our
options.  With the passage of the most recent legislation removing all public entities from
fault, we are left with one viable means of recovery - the Victims Compensation Fund.

Please understand, by electing the Fund we are forfeiting our right to bring a third-party
lawsuit.  We are forfeiting our right to find actual fault against an entity (the federal
government, the Port Authority, the airlines, etc.) - that would psychologically provide us
with some kind of answers as to why this horrible event was even able to occur.

If we are forfeiting our right to bring a third-party lawsuit, we should be guaranteed a right
to appeal in exchange.  If we are going to put our fate in the hands of a hearing officer, we
should at the very least have the right to appeal his or her decision.

We would also like the option to receive any payments made either in one lump sum, or 
through a structured pay out to the decedent's beneficiary, consistent with what our
personal investment advisors recommend for each of our individual family circumstances.
For example, any payment made to minor children should be in trust.  In addition, the
parent of said minor children should determine the date of vesting.  The trust should not
automatically vest at the age of 18, unless the parent determines that it is in the children's
own best interests to do so.

ECONOMIC LOSSES

Of critical importance to us, is the fair computation of economic losses.  We strongly
oppose any cap being placed upon this portion of recovery.  Simply put, no one should be
penalized because their loved one worked long, hard hours and earned a "good salary".

Every case is unique and deserves individual treatment, but we would like to know
beforehand how economic damages will be calculated for loss of earnings and work related
benefits.  This will, at least, provide us with a base from which we can begin to make a
decision as to whether the fund will provide us with adequate compensation to survive.

We request an approach similar to that used in personal injury actions.  However, neither
age nor marital status should be a discriminatory factor.  Retirement should be set at age
68.  The decedent's income should be averaged over the past 3 working years.  The
decedent's age should be subtracted from 68.  Those two numbers should be multiplied
together, thereby gleaning a starting point for computation.  From this base point, other
factors such as inflation, wage-increases, merit, likely bonuses and advancement, and any
other benefits should be considered.  We should be given the right to present expert
testimony to prove these losses.

For many, the lost income streams may be contingent, variable, or unpredictable.  We do
not believe that our families should be penalized because of this.  The hearing officers
should be permitted to consider the testimony of experts concerning such things as the
likelihood of advancement, the bonus scheme unique to each company and each
department in each company, economic cycles, performance reviews, as well as, how the
compensation of other co-workers progressed during the course of their working lives.  In
those cases where the compensation is extremely variable and dependant upon
commissions, as a base, we believe that the hearing officer should consider the average of
the best three out of five years of employment.

NON-ECONOMIC LOSSES

There should also be absolutely no cap on the non-economic losses awarded by the Fund.
Each person's circumstances must be evaluated individually.  Each case should take into
account the decedent's age, the marital status, and the number and ages of the decedent's
children.  Moreover, the severity of pain and suffering (both mental and physical) of not
only the decedent, but also the spouse, children, parents, and next of kin of the decedent
should also be evaluated.

Non-economic losses should be calculated similar to that in personal injury actions.  But,
again, neither age, marital status, nor dependency status should be a detriment.  Special
consideration must be given to the fact that eyewitness testimony concerning the horrific
pain and suffering endured by our loved ones may be impossible to elicit.  Thus, the
hearing officer should consider the reports and/or testimony of expert witnesses who may
describe based upon their training and experiences what the decedent went through both
mentally and physically prior to his or her own death.  Hearsay testimony should be
permitted.

Moreover, we do not believe that there should be a limitation on the types of injuries to be
compensated.  We are concerned that we may suffer from real and devastating emotional
harm not immediately apparent after the attack; harm for which we should be
compensated.  In addition to personal injury, we may suffer the loss of the ability to earn
an income, we may incur large medical bills, etc.  All of these things should be
compensated for by the Fund.

We strongly oppose any attempt to place into a formula or matrix a predetermined 
methodology for calculating our other losses.  Each family situation is different.  We have
the right to be treated as individuals.

Compensation for non-economic losses is crucial to the survival of some families, such as
the firemen and policemen's.  Any family who has a considerable amount of coverage in
life insurance will need some incentive to enter the Fund, since life insurance proceeds are
currently scheduled to be deducted from any recovery.  We strongly disagree with the
proposal as outlined below.  Certainly, we would expect any non-economic recovery from
this Fund to be generous in light of the terrible circumstances of September 11th.

COLLATERAL SOURCES

Finally, we are very concerned about the possible use of collateral sources to offset any
amount recovered from the Fund.  Life insurance should not be deducted from Fund
payments.  Simply put, life insurance is not taxed by the IRS for one reason-it encourages
people to plan for their heirs.  To deduct any life insurance from Fund payments would
penalize those who were merely responsible estate planners.  The decedents sacrificed and
saved hard-earned money to pay for such plans.  They are already victims once, do not
make them victim's twice.  At the very least the premiums paid should be offset
against the life insurance deductions.

Moreover, pension funds, IRAs, and 401k plans should not be deducted from the fund's
recovery amount.  Again, our loved ones sacrificed to save for these plans as part of a
responsible estate planning program.  Essentially, they are savings accounts, and they
should not be deducted from any award received from the Fund.

There should be no deductions from any Fund recovery for any "in kind" contributions
made to our families.  In addition, all potential future collateral source payments should 
similarly be excluded from consideration as deductions from any compensation recovery.

With regard to charity, Americans across this country donated their hard-earned money as
a symbol of their patriotism, and our brotherhood as a nation.  To deduct this charity
money from any final payment would, in our opinion, be wrong.  Donations made to
families like us were generously and selflessly given to us as a form of healing for both
donor and recipient.  Every single dollar donated and received gives each one of us a hope
for tomorrow and a belief in our country as a united whole.  Please do not denigrate this
beautiful symbol of our nation standing together as one by turning it into a dollars and
cents computation.

In closing, we sincerely thank you for considering our comments.  We are all struggling
through extremely difficult times.  Your asking for our input about the Victims
Compensation Fund--something that will have an enormous and tremendous bearing on the
rest of our lives-truly and honestly gives us a small bit of peace in our restless minds.  We
can only ask you to please keep our children and ourselves in your hearts during the weeks
ahead.

Sincerely,
Comment by

     Although, there isn't anything that can bring
back life, I believe that the unfortunate incidents
have destroyed many families.  There is not enough money
in the world that can be sufficient to make
these families whole. 
     By compensating these families in one lump
sum, it can only help with their insurmountable
debt.  In lieu of bringing on lawsuits,
I think this is the better alternative.

Please do not discriminate against unmarried partners

Dear Attorney General Ashcroft,

The deaths on September 11th were the result of an attack on America.
Please do not discriminate against the unmarried partners of September 11th
victims.  All unmarried partners, gay or straight, young and old and their
dependents should be eligible for compensation.

Individual Comment

September 11th Victim Compensation Fund

Under usual circumstances, I do not fall privy to unsubstantiated "hype" and respond to enflamed messages of the kind I received regarding the dispensation of this fund.  However, these being quite unusual of circumstances, I wish to convey my hopes that the monies from this fund be fairly and justly dispersed to all families and loved-ones involved, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or sexual preference.

Equal Relief Access


December  29, 2001

Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick,

I write as a member of Amnesty International, a worldwide human rights
movement committed to ensuring respect for the basic human rights of people
without discrimination, in support of equal access to benefits under the
September 11 Victims Relief Fund for all victims, regardless of sexual
orientation or marital status. As you know, the United States has
committed to uphold international human rights standards, including the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, which prohibit arbitrary discrimination.
  
As you consider rules for administering the relief fund, I ask that you
apply basic international human rights standards, and the general principle
of equality, by including among relatives eligible for compensation those
who lost their life partners, as well as de facto parents or children,
without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.  The State of New
York has already adopted such a policy, granting compensation benefits "on
a showing of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that
anyone who shared with the victim living expenses, day to day activities
and the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need."

Many lesbian and gay people were killed in the September 11th attacks.
Since then, lesbian and gay surviving partners of those killed have had
mixed results in obtaining equal treatment at the local level in the
distribution of relief funds by private and state agencies.  An inclusive
policy on the part of the federal government would help establish an
important principle for other such funds.  In compensating victims, real
justice will be served only when all families - and all types of families -
impacted by the human rights tragedy of September 11 are treated with
dignity and equality. 

Thank you for considering my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you
about your efforts to ensure that all surviving victims of the September 11
attacks have equal access to the relief fund.

December  19, 2001

Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick,

I write as a member of Amnesty International, a worldwide human rights
movement committed to ensuring respect for the basic human rights of people
without discrimination, in support of equal access to benefits under the
September 11 Victims Relief Fund for all victims, regardless of sexual
orientation or marital status. As you know, the United States has
committed to uphold international human rights standards, including the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, which prohibit arbitrary discrimination.
  
As you consider rules for administering the relief fund, I ask that you
apply basic international human rights standards, and the general principle
of equality, by including among relatives eligible for compensation those
who lost their life partners, as well as de facto parents or children,
without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.  The State of New
York has already adopted such a policy, granting compensation benefits "on
a showing of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that
anyone who shared with the victim living expenses, day to day activities
and the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need."

Many lesbian and gay people were killed in the September 11th attacks.
Since then, lesbian and gay surviving partners of those killed have had
mixed results in obtaining equal treatment at the local level in the
distribution of relief funds by private and state agencies.  An inclusive
policy on the part of the federal government would help establish an
important principle for other such funds.  In compensating victims, real
justice will be served only when all families - and all types of families -
impacted by the human rights tragedy of September 11 are treated with
dignity and equality. 

Thank you for considering my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you
about your efforts to ensure that all surviving victims of the September 11
attacks have equal access to the relief fund.


Sincerely,

Individual Comment
East Lansing, MI

Domestic Partners of 911

Dear Sirs

I was very saddened to hear about the DOJ's positions on victims of 911
that are Gay and Lesbian.  I am embarrassed and ashamed.  I did not
believe that this could happen in this Country that supposedly treated
all its citizens equal.  The idea that the DOJ does not want to override
the states is interesting, Can you imagine if George Bush would have had
the same philosophy during the election and not gone to the Supreme
Court.  I have supported the administration until now without question
and trust..no more.  How can we expect justice around the world when we
can not even grant it on our homeland to our own people?

Protect Traditional Marriage


Mr.
Kenneth Zwick
Office
of Management Programs
Department
of Justice
Washington,
DC
Dear
Mr. Zwick:

I
want to express my opposition to any effort by the federal government to provide
9-11 victim compensation funds to "domestic partners" of unmarried
survivors of the terrorist attack upon our nation.
Funds
disbursed through the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 should
only go to the surviving family members of those who died on 9-11. Funds must go
to the widows, widowers, orphans, and other blood-related or adopted members of
the family--not to unmarried sexual partners of those who died. 
To
provide funds to "domestic partners" is to undermine the traditional
definition of marriage and family to include any number of sexual liaisons
between same-sex or opposite-sex unmarried couples. Many homosexuals and
swinging heterosexuals, for example, engage in sex with multiple partners. Do we
provide funds to each of the sexual partners? Where do we draw the line on how
many "domestic partners" a person may have? 
Homosexual
activists are exploiting the 9-11 tragedy by asking the federal government to
redefine what constitutes a legitimate "family" under the law. In
fact, homosexual activist                , writing in Out magazine
has openly called for the subversion of the concept of marriage between a man
and a woman. He has urged homosexuals to fight for the legalization of
homosexual marriages and once legalized to "redefine the institution of
marriage completely . . . . to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic
institution. . . . The most subversive action lesbians and gays can under
take--and one that would perhaps benefit all of society--is to transform the
notion of 'family' entirely."
If
the DOJ provides funds to "domestic partners," it will be helping
                accomplish his goal: That of redefining marriage and altering what he
calls an "archaic institution." 
We
also oppose September 11th Funds going to the estates of the deceased instead of
to their surviving family members. No one can know for certain where these funds
will end up if they are deposited in the estate of a person who has died. The
person may have willed his estate to a terrorist, racial hate group, or even to
an organization like the North American Man-Boy Love Association. No one will
know unless each person's will is examined by a DOJ lawyer. 
The
money should go to the surviving family members of the deceased, not to the
estate or to the surviving "domestic partner."

I am writing to express my support of the Department's request for 
public comments regarding the forthcoming regulations for 
implementing and administering the "September 11 Victim Compensation 
Fund" and urge the Department to draft regulations that 
ensure compensation is available to all victims of the attack, 
including the committed partners and the non-biological children 
of gay and lesbian victims. 

It is unquestionable that the devastating grief and economic 
losses suffered by the families of gay and lesbian victims are 
no less than that of other families. Just as the terrorists 
drew no lines in choosing their victims, our country must draw 
no lines in compensating those who suffered the most personal of 
losses from these horrific attacks. 

Many Americans lost their lives on September 11, each of whom 
left behind loved ones. I urge the Department to honor these 
bonds by treating the families of gay and lesbian victims as you 
would any other. 

Sincerely, 
Individual Comment
Fort Walton Beach, FL

Mr. Feinberg:

I heard today, with more than a little dismay and
disgust, that your organization intends to deny
partners of homosexual vicitms of September 11 the
benefits that are to be paid to illegal immigrants and
non-citizens who also lost family members in the
attacks. 

Can you explain to me how you justify this? I was
under the impression that the September 11th Fund was
created to ease the financial burden of victims'
spouses and loved ones. Are you and your collegues
suggesting that the gay spouses and loved ones are
somehow less deserving of our help and compassion?
That homosexuals who died on the 11th due to the
intolerance and hatred of a group of people are of
less value? Are you really prepared to perpetrate
intolerance and demonstrate such a stunning lack of
compassion? What drives this decision of the Fund?
Misguided and narrow-minded morals? A personal agenda?
Finances? Please tell me how you can turn your back on
Americans like             , one of the heros of
Flight 93, and his loved ones. 

I am saddened and angered by the September 11th Fund's
policy. I urge you to search your heart, and change
your mind.

Discrimination in the 9/11 Fund is un-American

Dear Sirs:

Regardless of that fetuses may receive benefits or that Federal Law will be 
overlooked so that illegal aliens my receive benefits, I find deplorable that 
the partners of gay and lesbians heroes of Sept 11th may not be treated 
equally.

This country is supposed to be about democracy and equal rights.

Haven't our leaders learned about the unconscionable prejudice our society 
has shown against its own "subgroups" though out our history, the 
Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, African-Americans?  

Wasn't there a time, not so long ago, when women where not even allowed one 
of our most precious freedoms: TO VOTE??

Are gay and lesbian-Americans just the "subgroup" of our age to discriminate 
against?

Your decision to not apply a common standard for all, and allow state law to 
govern distribution is a cowardly way to avoid the issue, or even worse, to 
perpetuate it.

Sincerely,

Protest of DOJ Decision on Beneficiaries of 9/11 Funds


Dear Mr. President, et al:

I am extremely disappointed in the Federal government's decisions on 
which survivors of those tragically murdered on September 11th will 
receive grants from the government.

To ignore the gay partners of men and women killed is not justice, 
nor is it compassionate.  Men and women love other men and women and 
share their lives, their finances and their homes with them.  They 
share the same grief of those who were legally married.  They also 
share the same financial hardships associated with this loss. 
Mortgages need to be paid, apartment rents, car payments, etc.

It is a shame that in the United States we look to the majority 
opinions on this (e.g., state law) rather than protecting the 
minorities.  I do understand that spouses of illegal aliens will be 
included in the funds.  What does this take place and yet others, 
only because they are gay and only because they have no legal status 
are excluded?

September 11th was truly a national tragedy, why compound it with 
uncaring and unjust decisions and actions?

I hope you will reconsider your decision.  Please do.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment

equal rights


December  19, 2001

Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick,

I write as a member of Amnesty International, a worldwide human rights
movement committed to ensuring respect for the basic human rights of people
without discrimination, in support of equal access to benefits under the
September 11 Victims Relief Fund for all victims, regardless of sexual
orientation or marital status. As you know, the United States has
committed to uphold international human rights standards, including the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, which prohibit arbitrary discrimination.
  
As you consider rules for administering the relief fund, I ask that you
apply basic international human rights standards, and the general principle
of equality, by including among relatives eligible for compensation those
who lost their life partners, as well as de facto parents or children,
without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.  The State of New
York has already adopted such a policy, granting compensation benefits "on
a showing of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that
anyone who shared with the victim living expenses, day to day activities
and the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need."

Many lesbian and gay people were killed in the September 11th attacks.
Since then, lesbian and gay surviving partners of those killed have had
mixed results in obtaining equal treatment at the local level in the
distribution of relief funds by private and state agencies.  An inclusive
policy on the part of the federal government would help establish an
important principle for other such funds.  In compensating victims, real
justice will be served only when all families - and all types of families -
impacted by the human rights tragedy of September 11 are treated with
dignity and equality. 

Thank you for considering my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you
about your efforts to ensure that all surviving victims of the September 11
attacks have equal access to the relief fund.


Sincerely,

Individual Comment
Kirksville, MO

9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

Dear Mr. Zwick,

Our pain is no less, Our loss is no less, and our access to justice and
equality in the aftermath of the 9/11 crisis must be no less.
 
Like Governor Pataki, we must give relief to ALL lifestyles affected by
the 9/11 crisis, be they straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or
transgendered. Be them surviving life partners, or parents or children
of partners.  When I and countless others gave to the relief fund, we
didn't attempt to direct the funds, we trusted "the powers that be" that
the funds would be distributed to the needy without regard to their
lifestyle, so you must do the same.  If not, then we are entitled a
refund of our monies so we can distribute to our "families" ourselves.

Thank you for taking a stand for equal fustice.
