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. Sunday, March 17, 2002 11:02 AM Equality Needed If we as a nation can decide to overlook violations of federal law to allow sharing compensation with the families of illegal aliens (and I believe we should), we should also share compensation with the "adopted families" of the victims of 9/11 that were gay. Just because gay people are not allowed to marry, does not mean that gay "family" members did not also suffer horrible losses that day also. Gay heroes like &nbsp who helped bring down the flight in Pennsylvania - saving lives in Washington D.C., NY Fire Dept. &nbsp who died in the line of duty when the first tower fell, and &nbsp who was &nbsp of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon (and many more) deserve to share in our country's bounty and caring as well. The compensation should go to those who the deceased would want to have been compensated - not just to those who the law says are intitled to be compensated. If you can break the laws for illegal alliens in this matter - you can do whatever you want. So, lets not treat &nbsp as second class citizens while treating illegal aliens as first class citizens. Help all of those who were directly hurt by these events.
