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. Wednesday, March 20, 2002 10:43 PM funds distribution I am writing to express my concern at the possibility that certain victims and heroes will not be honered or respected in the same way as others. Benefits to survivors of 9/11 victims should be evenly and fairly distributed. A gay or lesbian who has lost a domestic partner has experienced the same degree of loss as a heterosexual husband or wife. I hope that the victim compensation fund recognizes that its role is not to pass judgement on people and deny an equal share of the fund benefits to those families that don't fit a stereo-typical mold. We are all fellow beings and we are obliged to treat each other as we would hope to be treated. Surely the September 11th tragedy has taught us all something--- Again, please do not exclude gays and lesbians when dispersing these funds. Thank you for your consideration.
