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. Tuesday, March 19, 2002 10:26 AM Sept. 11th Fund Dear September 11th Fund Administrators, I am writing because I am outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September 11 are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as everyone else. I am not gay, or lesbian, but I am American. and find this decision deplorable. Kenneth Feinberg's winded answer on Meet the Press is just ridiculous. He "cannot get into a position of second-guessing how a particular state treats same-sex partners, domestic live-ins, etc."? He then goes on to say, "what does your state law say about who is eligible? If your state law makes you eligible, I will honor state law. If it doesn't, I go with the state". I find these statements very confusing. Why doesn't that apply to illegal aliens and the companies that employ them? Aren't we overlooking our own laws in those instances (commendably I might add)? Under normal circumstances does each state say illegal aliens can work here, live here without being deported, and the companies that hire them will not be penalized? I doubt it. Yet, it seems Mr. Feinberg has no problem second-guessing in those instances. In memory of our heroes &nbsp , and so many more... I demand that you do the right thing with my donation, and the donations of all people that intended to help "all" victims.
