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. Monday, March 18, 2002 1:18 PM 9/11 Fund To Whom it may Concern: We are writing this letter to express our concern and our opposition to the decision by the Dept. of Justice to deny gay and lesbian victims their rightful compensation in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Beacon Fellowship is an Interfaith social justice organization based in Columbus Ohio. Our mission is to work to create change and promote social justice in communities thru Advocacy, Education, and Direct Action. We believe in fairness and equality for all citizens of this country. That must include gay and lesbian citizens, who pay their taxes, and are just as much a part of this nation as any others. Hate and bigotry have no place in our country or our communities. We encourage the DOJ and Kenneth Zwick to reconsider the decision and allow all victims of the horrible attack on our country to receive full and fair compensation for their losses. To offer anything less or nothing at all, would be truly un-American and would clearly violate the spirit of the U.S.Constitution as well as the Declaration of Independence, which closes with the words "Liberty and Justice for All". ALL means ALL, plain and simple. Don't allow bigotry and hate to dictate policy.
