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. Wednesday, March 13, 2002 1:06 PM beneficiaries I saw all the carnage etc taking place on 911 and although I do not qualify as a beneficiary even in the remotest sense of the word I am writing the many who should. I am asking under the equal rights amendment of the United States Constitution that ALL people who lost loved ones in 911--especially gay people who are US Citizens in a committed relationship of 6 months or more be given benefits for the loss of their partners just as heterosexuals who lost their wives or husbands. Bigotry should have no role in the distribution of these funds. Through the bigotry of many in this country; Gay people, except in Vermont, have been denied the right to marry and I feel that it is a just recompense to recognize the relationships these men and women had. with their partners through giving US Citizen victim's partners compensation. I wish to remind you that Canadian Gay Partners are recieving compensation under the Laws of Canada and it is only fair that US citizens also do.
