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. Thursday, March 21, 2002 7:23 PM president@whitehouse.gov 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. ===== Individual Comment Portland, OR September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-21 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
