Wednesday, March 13, 2002 11:06 AM Victim Compensation Debacle Mr. Feinberg: I have received a report on your comments on Meet the Press on March 10, 2002 that not all 9/11 victims? survivors will receive equal treatment by the 9/11 Victim?s Compensation Fund. I am absolutely appalled! When I contributed not only personally, but also through my trade organization, banks, credit unions, stock brokerages, etc. on my behalf, it never occurred to me that not all survivors would be treated equally. I had no idea that we had classes of victims! It matters not to me the color of a person?s skin, his/her religion, country of national origin, or whether or not his/her partnership was sanctified by marriage or the laws of any state regarding sexual preferences! They died, Damn it, the same horrible death as everyone else! Their survivors have suffered untold losses, and to fly in the face of the reality of heterosexual and gay/lesbian committed ?partnerships,? even surpasses the Red Cross debacle! You have made these people less than illegal aliens, who will receive compensation through sanction, and it is unacceptable! Thank God for the gay heroes we know about: , Senator John McCain?s and our country?s hero, the of the Pentagon plane, and FDNY?s ! And God Bless the countless unknown gay/lesbian victims and their partners! Can we not be ?as good an American as he was?? (Sen. John McCain eulogizing .) ?America will overcome these atrocities?.We will right this terrible injustice?.? Do not create a worse injustice in the process!
