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 11, 2002 1:56 PM Blatant discrimination How dare you choose to discriminate against those victims of Sept. 11 who happen to be gay/lesbian by denying their loved ones compensation when other victims' families, children (born or not!) receive aid through this fund. By choosing to discriminate against these Americans based on the laws of the states in which they lived, you - as representative of our federal government - are denying the fact that all people should share the same civil rights as guaranteed by the FEDERAL, not state, government. I am shocked and ashamed that an organization such as this fund would let partisan ethics and biases color its policy in this way. Your message that there are Americans who perished on 9/11 are less deserving of our sympathy and compassion than others simply because their lifestyle does not set well with some Republican (or conservative) sensibilities is appalling at best and horrific at worst. Shame on you.
