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. Wednesday, March 13, 2002 9:30 AM Benefits to Gay Partners I am outraged by the apparent unwillingness of managers of the victims compensation fund to provide the same respect and courtesy to partners of those lost in this tragedy that they are so willing to offer to people who are not legal citizens or residents of this country. Yet, it would appear, because of prejudice, bigotry or the fear of criticism, you are willing to overlook the needs of American citizens whose partners were lost in the attack. Shame on you!! To agree to completely ignore duly enacted laws and regulations of this country on order to assist people (illegal aliens) whose loss is every bit as great as any one else's is all right with me. But then in the next hypocritical breath state you will not do the same for another equally deserving segment of the population is beyond decency. It is just plain stinking thinking. It is wrong, flat wrong and no degree of contorted logic can justify it. It appears, based upon the logic you have used, that you could justify giving money to the relatives of the terrorist who perpetrated the act while at the same time ignoring the needs of the partners of the actual victims of the attack. Pray tell, what is the difference? You need to reconsider your policy. Common decency and logic demand it. I demand it and my tax dollars are paying for it.
