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. Sunday, March 17, 2002 10:58 PM "treat Americans equally" It has come to my attention that the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund, which is to compensate the loved ones of the 9/11 tragedy, is considering compounding the error by neglecting to compensate loved ones of some categories. Or, perhaps it is just one category. Families of illegal aliens will not be deported -- this is positive, even though in violation of the law. Yet families of non-heterosexual heroes and passengers who died, however, are not (under the current plan) to be compensated even while families of presumed heterosexuals will be compensated. Discrimination is un-American. This would be a clear case of discrimination. Do not bow to the forces of homophobia, do not extend discrimination to families of lesbians and gays. Note that the alacrity with which the announcement was made that victims of these suicide plane-bombings suggests to start that there was something "not quite right", something, perhaps a judgement by the "powers that be", which determined that it might be worthwhile to let the attacks happen, to get the public aroused against an "external" enemy, and their attention (and monies) diverted. Thank you.
