protest


In an appearance on the Sunday, March 10 broadcast of NBC's
"Meet the Press," Kenneth Feinberg, the head of the September
11th Victim Compensation Fund (a fund created by Congress and
run by the Department of Justice), said that gay partners of
the heroes of September 11th will not necessarily be eligible
for the same compensation as heterosexual family members who
lost their loved ones.

I'm writing to protest. I am not gay and am happily married, but I think it
is a travesty to leave gays and lesbians out in this way. Please change this.
Make it right. Thank you.
