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. Thursday, March 14, 2002 3:45 PM distribution of the 9/11 funds To Whom it May Concern, I just got done reading an article which stated that the funds that have been collected for the awful event that took place on 09/11/01 are only being distributed to certain individuals who meet certain criteria's. When I read this, it upset me. The bottom line is people lost their lives. How can you place a criteria on who receives the funds when this was never discussed prior to the money being raised. I do not care who gets this money, I donated because I could imagine the pain and suffering these people were going through who lost loved ones. To know that a few people are going to play "God" and determine who gets this money is disturbing. As an American, am extremely disappointed in the decision and I hope it will be re-thought. Gay, Lesbian, Jewish, Christian, Black, Chinese, white, etc... it doesn't matter, those who need help from this fund should be given relief funds. It is at times like these, that we must put all our biases aside and come together as a people and rise above this type of bigotry. In closing, if this is a common practice with the funds that are raised for a fundraiser, then this should be disclosed to the people that would like to donate prior to them money being received. We as people have the right to know what you intend to do with our money. I will think twice before ever donate money again and I will request a written statement as to what they intend to do with the money they raise.
