I LOST TWO SONS
ON 9-11-01!


I STRONGLY URGE THE ELIMINATION OF THE
COLLATERAL SOURCE CLAUSE, IT IS WRONG TO
PENALIZE FAMILIES FOR TRYING TO TAKE CARE
OF YOUR FAMILY RESPONSIBLY. SECURITY FOR YOUR
LOVED ONES IS IMPORTANT + WE SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED
FOR IT. TO ASK PEOPLE TO SIGN AWAY THEIR RIGHT WITHOUT KNOWING
WHAT TO EXPECT IS UNAMERICAN & GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING OUR
GOVERNMENT STANDS FOR
OUR GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN PEOPLE
BOTH CIVILIAN + UNIFORMED SERVICE PEOPLE WHO WERE ALL
INNOCENT VICTIMS IN THIS EVIL + TRAGIC EVENT IN HISTORY!
PARENTS, SIBLINGS + DOMESTIC PARTNERS SHOULDN'T BE EXCLUDED
FROM THIS COMPENSATION PROGRAM! MOST OF US WERE DEPENDENT
ON OUR LOST LOVED ONES. FOR OUR GOVERNMENT TO ASK US TO
FINANCIAL LOSS + PAIN + SUFFERING WHEN IT IS NOT NECESSARILY
UNCONSCIONABLE. THE FORMULA FOR COMPENSATION ALSO
NEEDS TO BE UPDATED FROM IT'S OUTDATED STANDARDS!
WE WERE VICTIMIZED ON 9-11-01 DON'T VICTIMIZE
US AGAIN!
