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 12:31 PM Please do not discriminate I am outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September 11 are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as heterosexual spouses. I was in New York at the time of the attacks. That city was and is so devastated by the events on September 11th. I had the great fortune of getting on a private bus and driving cross country back to my home in Los Angeles. I saw many a tribute across America to ALL of our fallen heroes. It made me proud that I was an American, not just a gay-American, but an American. None of the other stuff like race or sexual orientation mattered any more. Now you want to take away what little help the survivors of the 9/11 attacks may have. All should be treated fairly and equally despite personal prejudices and views. To overlook the lives these people have spent together is a disgrace. I sincerely hope you reconsider.
