benefits discrimination


The "September 11th Victim Compensation Fund's (a fund created by Congress
and run by the Department of Justice) intends to discriminate against
American heroes because they were gay. This was reported to me as stated
in Kenneth Feinberg's appearance on the Sunday, March 10 broadcast of NBC's
"Meet the Press."

This intention is an atrocity and should be abandoned immediately.

I appeal to the President, and all fair- minded people to bring whatever
pressure is possible to bear on the reversal of this policy.

As stated in the article that I read, by , "If September 11 has taught us anything, it's that our patriotism and love of country transcend our differences and unite us all. It would be ironic if the
generosity of so many Americans in giving to the September 11th Fund were
used to further divide us as a people, and send the message to all that
some American heroes are more equal than others."

Respectfully,
