September 11 compensation fund fiasco


I was outraged by Kenneth Feinbergs statements made
last Sunday on Meet the Press regarding your
administration's plan to discriminate against gay and
lesbian victims of the September 11 attacks and their
survivors.

Attorney General Ashcroft is willing to disregard the
law by awarding compensation to illegal aliens, but
for gay and lesbian Americans, be they firefighters,
police, or the passenger on the United Airlines flight
who averted the destruction of the nation's house of
Congress, they are denied equal treatment under your
governments compensation plan.

(passenger/hero on the United flight in
Pennsylvania) died so that you and the capitol might
live on, the least you can do is treat him and his
memory as good as an illegal alien.

In the words of Sen. John McCain, "America will
overcome these atrocities. We will prevail over our
enemies. We will right this terrible injustice. And
when we do, let us claim it as a tribute to our
liberty, and to and all those who died to
defend it."

Sincerely,

U. S. Citizen
