Tuesday, March 19, 2002 10:08 AM Fwd: 9/11 Fund to deny gays benefits Dear Mr. Zwick, Recently I have seen you on television talking about the September 11th Victims Fund and I was outraged to hear that the fund that Congress established is discriminating Gay and Lesbian Americans. Today, I received an email providing more detail on this fund and that has prompted me to express to you my concerns. First, I have to tell you that this decision tears down the statements made by our Government shortly after 9/11 telling us that we are no longer hyphenated Americans we are Americans. The tragedies that occurred the morning of September 11, 2001, were an attack on our entire nation. When the attacked occurred, as a nation we transcended our differences and united as Americans. In the days after September 11, 2001, our nation stood together and displayed to the world that a terrorist organization could take down buildings; however, they could not break the spirit of Americans. The tragic events of September 11th did not discriminate when it took victims; the fund our Congress has established to help the victims loved ones should not either. Sincerely, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-19 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
