Wednesday, December 05, 2001 10:47 AM Attn: Kenneth L. Zwick Dear Mr. Zwick, I am appalled at the actions of the State of Virginia with respect to victim assistance for survivors of the September 11 attack on our country. Specifically, the State's response to &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp who may lose her home as a result of the attacks. You see, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp lost her partner of 18 years. The home they jointly purchased required the dual incomes. For all intents and purposes, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp was &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp spouse. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp is not entitled to assistance because she and &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp were not married. As you are aware, same-sex couples are not allowed to receive state issued marriage licenses, but both &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp and &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp blended their lives, finances, and families as if they were married. I urge you to ensure that compensation is available to all surviving families of those killed, INCLUDING the committed partners and non-biological children of gay and lesbian victims. These people have been victimized once. It is un-American and cruel to not help. Thank you for your consideration, Individual Comment Ventura, CA September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-12-05 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
