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 7:55 PM In pursuit of fairness Dear Sir or Madam: I am outraged that the fund for victims of the September 11 tragedy will not cover the partners of gays and lesbian who died that day. I know that there are many in our country who were still stuck in old and invalid predudices, but I am truly saddened to learn that they still exist at your level. I fear that this plea falls on deaf ears, but I am bound by my heart to make it. I have a lesbian sister and many gay and lesbian friends, and I know that they are no different from the rest of us in the ways that matter. And certainly not in the area of family. A gay/lesbian family contains just as much love, commitment, and morality as any other family. Please reconsider your decision in this area.
