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, January 08, 2002 7:45 PM I do not agree with the victims' compensation law and I believe most other Americans don't either. I am very sad about what happened on September 11th, but I didn't cause it and I should not be paying for it. No one in the United States is responsible for this act. Who decided that it was right to pay out all this money to these victims? This is not their money to give away. Americans who want to donate have, through their charities and THAT IS ENOUGH! Where does this stop? Will we pay out a million dollars everytime someone dies in a catastrophy? My father was in the Army for 30 years and fought in countless campaigns, would I have gotten a million dollars if a terrorist killed him? I couldn't even get adaquate military health care when he died of cancer. This law should be reconsidered before a single penny is given out. I think that if you ask the American public how they feel about it, they would be against it. The only reason we haven't said anything about it so far is that we didn't know what was being voted on. Please tell me how I can get the word out to get this law changed.
