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 11:46 PM Victim Compensation Sir/Madam I do use those words hesitantly, because I feel that if I use those terms it is to someone that would deserve some respect. That is something that I am not willing to do at this time. It is a shame that you would choose not to give benefits to those who lost a partner during our attacks. What you are doing to those who did loose a partner during the 9/11 attacks is not any different then those who attacked us. They did not have any care for those they killed, and our government does not care for those that lost a partner in the attack. They are being attacked twice, once by the Taliban and once by our own government. Those who attacked the hijackers and brought the planes down as heroes did so because they love this country. They did not ask themselves, well the government disregards us as people so should I do anything to help them. They did it because for their respect for there country and to save many more lives by keeping them from getting to there intended target. I know that it would be hard for anyone to understand, but those who lost a partner also lost someone that was assisting in paying bills, mortgages, food, etc., just as anyone who lost a spouse also lost someone that was assisting in paying bills, mortgages, food etc. I would have thought that after the attacks that we as a nation would get past the whole homosexual issue. If you as a law maker are uncomfortable with the whole homosexual issue then you need to get out of government and find something else to do. You are in government as a law maker to help our nation, not to choose and decide just because you are uncomfortable with different groups of people to make laws. Everyone should be entitled to the same benefits as the person next to them. I will end this with the unhappy notion that we have people making laws or helping others because it will benefit them and not help the victim.
