Tuesday, March 12, 2002 8:08 AM this fund's discrimination Dear Madam/Sir I am very distressed to hear that partners of gay and lesbian victims of the September 11 attacks will be excluded from the benefits of your fund. What an incredible dishonor to our citizens who have lost their lives in a mass attack meant to victimize all Americans. You do an enormous disservice to the spirit of unity that was engendered in this country in the aftermath of September 11. The arrogance of such a policy, making special exception for illegal aliens and blatantly discriminating against our own citizens, is simply abhorent. I urge you to make your fund inclusive of all our citizens. If you can circumvent law to include illegal aliens, you can do it to include all Americans.
