America United

To Whom It May Concern,

Recently I have read an article regarding the Sept, 11th funds being
distributed to illegal aliens and the unborn child of those whose family
members died in the attacks. That would sit well with me if it were not for
the blatant discrimination against gays in the same matter. Why is it the law
can be brushed aside when it comes to everyone but gays? Did we all not lose
in these attacks? Chaplain Father &nbsp who died in the line of duty
when the first tower fell, or &nbsp who was copilot of the plane
that crashed into the Pentagon and &nbsp who helped bring down the
flight in Pennsylvania, were all gay. Are they less than those who are here
illegally? Is their deed not that of a hero? Don't go down in history as
being a bunch of bigots too afraid to be human in a time when we all
supposedly stand united. The next time something tragic happens and it's a
sad fact in this day and age that it will, the person that saves your life
may very well be the one you've discriminate against. Not to sound cliche,
but remember "All for one and one for all." Make things right, show the world
that America truly stands United.
