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. Friday, December 07, 2001 12:42 AM Compensation for victims of 9-11-2001 To whom it may concern, It is agreed that everyone in America, for the most part, suffered at least a little bit from the events of September 11, 2001, and most definitely, some more than others. Those who were directly affected by the attacks came from every walk of life. Those terrorists did not discriminate agaist anyone based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or disability. The only category that was targeted was nationality. That nationality was American. Just as Caucasians died, so did Latinos, African-Americans, Asians/Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and others of mixed races. Just as Christians died, so did Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and those who don't subscribe to a religious belief. Men, women, and those caught somewhere in between died. Just as heterosexual Americans died, so did gays and lesbians and bisexuals. Married persons, as well as those who are single or living with a domestic partner, died as well. Just as those who were able bodied died, so did those who are disabled. The families and friends of those persons also suffered much loss. My point is that the US government has a responsibility to help out all those who suffered from the events of that horrific day without regard to any of the aforementioned characterstics. I heavily encourage the US government to please allow everyone who suffered, including the same-gender partners of the gay, lesbian, and bisexual persons, to receive compensation for their loss. It is not only required of the Constitution to do that, but it is the American thing to do. To treat everyone equally.
