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. Saturday, March 16, 2002 2:47 PM (no subject) Since September 11th, we've seen the uniting of the United States of America. It's made me proud to call myself and American... the way we've banded together across society's lines: skin color, religion, sex... and even sexual preference. Now those lines are being redrawn, and I'm ashamed. Every family that suffered losses deserve to be compensated, not just the families that a select group of people recognize. Yes, laws are laws. If that is to be the argument for omitting gay families from receiving benefits, then perhaps ALL laws should be followed to the letter. It disgusts me that illegal aliens are recognized and receive help while legal Americans suffer without, simply because some parts of society don't recognize their kind of family. We all lost something September 11th. Don't take away what faith we have left in the world by separating what took a tragedy to bring together... the AMERICAN people. Gay, straight, black, white, Christian, Jewish-- we all lost.
