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. Sunday, March 17, 2002 9:47 PM Compensation for g/l partners As a Christian and an American, I fully support offering the same (equal) benefits to same-sex partners and families of gay and lesbian victims of Sept 11 as those offered to heterosexual victims. I am an associate member of a congregation that recognizes and affirms same-gender committed relationships, one of the more than one thousand American congregations that publicly affirms g/l committed relationships. Further, as an elementary school teacher in these United States of America, I've proudly led the pledge to the American flag each school day for more than 30 years. Let us not as a nation betray its promise, "with liberty and justice for all". Not justice for "straight" Americans...but justice for all! It's the American way of justice to not discriminate against gay and lesbian Sept 11 victims and their loved ones. I believe it's also a matter of following God's law: Love your neighbor as yourself; do unto others as you would have them to do you. I urge that the Victim's Fund not be used in such a way so as to discriminate against the same-gender partners and families of gay and lesbian victims of September 11. Thank-you.
