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. Sunday, March 17, 2002 2:20 PM A travesty... To Whom It May Concern: How dare you? How could you be so inconsiderate and selfish as to exclude gays. Subsitute the words: black, jewish, female, or hispanic and see if you are quite so ready to jump on the bandwagon. How dare you take my hard earned money and then decide who is worthy of benefits. Please explain to me how the thinking goes that an illegal immigrant to this country is going to recieve benefits, but a citizen who lost their partner is not worthy of the same consideration. If you think that my judgement is harsh, then look ahead fifty years from now and imagine history's judgement of you. In textbooks today we are taught that slavery was wrong, despite the "majority" opinion. I suspect that history texts will solemnly dwell on the heroes of 9/11 and scathingly report your picking and choosing of benefits compensation.
