To the administrators of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund:

I am writing today to ask you to include among relatives eligible for
compensation from your fund those who have lost their life partners, as well
as de facto parents or children, without regard to sexual orientation or
marital status. In doing so, the US Government would be following the example
already set by New York Governor Pataki, granting compensation benefits "on a
showing of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that anyone
who shared with the victim living expenses, day-to-day activities and the
emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need."

You have the opportunity to help suffering people by saving them additional
injustices. I hope that you will do so.

Thank you for your time and attention.
