Victims Fund for families 9-11

Dear Sirs/Madams:
I have been notified that you are taking comments regarding this
topic..... I have been shown a form letter to send to you...... but I am not
going to...... I would like to write from my heart.......
I am a lesbian and I am a single mother. Like so many people who
will send their coments this would not affect me. But, for those who will be
affected, I do ask that you extend the support of OUR country to the FAMILIES
of gay and lesbian people. We do pay taxes just like the straight victims of
the recent tragedy... even more if we are not allowed the 'marriage
deduction'. We live our lives as families... we have very little differences
in our lives from heterosexual people. We depend on one another ... we have
children ... some of us stay home to care for those children ... If there is
one person who was a co-parent to a child (possibly adopted) and his/her
partner was a stay at home mom/dad what would this financial aid mean to that
child? This is very important... please don't let the morally judging groups
out there dictate our countries future... we are real, decent, socially
viable people who deserve the same rights as our fellow contry men and women.
Please, take this chance to stand up for all Americans.....
Together We Stand.... United Or Not!
Please..... begin the journey toward uniting this country
even further.....
Thank you,
