Dear Attorney General Ashcroft,

The deaths on September 11th were the result of an attack on America.
Please do not discriminate against the unmarried partners of September 11th
victims. All unmarried partners, gay or straight, young and old and their
dependents should be eligible for compensation.

I am sure that it cannot be disputed that gay people participated in large ways to this tragedy. I personally know one of the of the plane that hit the Pentagon, and live very close to , undeniably a hero. I know their partners feel the pain of the loss acutely. Lets not make them pay twice by rejecting the acknowledgment of their loss after suffering the actual loss.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
San Francisco, CA
