Wednesday, December 05, 2001 1:33 PM September 11 Victim Compensation Fund Outline sentance - I urge the Department to honor families and partners of Gay and Lesbian victims as you would any other family. Dear Director Zwick: In response to the Department's request for public comments regarding administering the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund." I strongly request the Department to draft regulations that ensure compensation is available to ALL Victims of the attack, including the committed partners and the non-biological children of Gay and Lesbian victims. Grief and economic losses suffered by the families of Gay and Lesbian victims are no less than that of other families. It mattered none to the terrorists who would be killed, our country must not draw lines in compensating those who suffered and are suffering. Many Americans lost their lives on September 11, each of whom left behind loved ones. I urge the Department to honor these bonds by treating the families of Gay and Lesbian victims as you would any other. Although I only know of one person who was lost in the attack, I am a victim too. I have had a great negative domino effect on my own business dealings, and have used all my savings to date to keep it going. I am now financially devastated and will be forced to close my business. Sincerely, Individual Comment Fort Mill, SC 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.
