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. Thursday, March 21, 2002 10:58 AM 9/11 fund I am outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September 11 are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as heterosexual spouses. It amazes me that even after this nation has suffered such a great tragedy, that the families of "selected" individuals will have to suffer even more. "United we stand, divided we fall" seems to be more like "United we stand, with the exclusion of gays and lesbians ... until we need their tax dollars, support, etc." The victims of 9/11 worked in our country, paid taxes in our country, and supported our country. I do not feel that now is the time for our nation to turn our backs on those who paid the price of being an American with their lives, regardless of their lifestyles. This is a sad time for all of us, and now is not the time to make judgments.
