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 28, 2002 11:26 AM I am appalled that consideration is being given to excluding partners of gay and lesbian heroes and victims of the 911 tragedy from receiving compensation funds. Perhaps all gays, lesbians, their families and other supporters should request that their contributions to any and all 911 compensation funds be returned. It's wrong for members of our government to choose to lump all gays and lesbians into one group based on the actions of a few by excluding partners of these heroes from well-deserved compensation. If overlooking good works and contributions of a whole group based on the actions of a few is the logic applied, we should elect an entirely new government because of the actions of those in government who have committed immoral acts. It's time to take a step back, recognize the contributions of every individual for what they provide and build on those contributions to strengthen our country for the challenges going forward. Please, it's time to apply common sense!
