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. Saturday, March 16, 2002 4:16 PM FOR THE MEMORY OF: And so many more... I am sending this email because I want to voice my opinion about the appauling way the compensation funds are being handled for the vitcims of September 11th. Even though I am not American I feel it is my duty as a human being to speak out for the families and partners of the gay and lesbian victims. These people are, in most cases, not receiving any compensation. I think this is wrong, why should they be treated any different to married couples. Just because law says they couldn't get married doesn't mean they were in any less of a serious realtionship. The compensation policy is completly unfair, for gods sake, even the families of illegal immigrants were getting compensated, they were in this country illegaly, where in american law does it say that its illegal to be gay? It doesn't. I know my email on its own will not do anything to change the policy, but I only hope that you will bear this in mind, and let it be on your concience. At least I have done my bit to try. Once again, I felt it my duty as a human to write this, gays and lesbian are no less human than anyone else, please remember that. regards Individual Comment (Bradford, UK) September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-16 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
