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. Tuesday, March 12, 2002 10:31 AM 9/11 Fund To Whom it May Concern: It is appalling to me that patriotic Americans whose family members were killed on September 11th would not be allowed to receive funds from the 9/11 fund just because the victims were gays or lesbians. How can a country which works so hard to fight discrimination be so complicit in perpetuating it? How could you believe that gay partners grieve less, need less or feel less than other Americans? That is what you are saying by denying some Americans aid because of their sexual orientation. Hiding behind the veil of "we can't go against state law" doesn't wash. This is a fund created by donations of Americans who weren't asked what their orientation was before you cashed their checks. If gay people are encouraged to support their country and its fallen heroes, the country must support them as well.
