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 21, 2002 6:36 PM 9/11 victim compensation fund Dear Kenneth Feinberg and colleagues, I am dismayed to hear that the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund will not benefit ALL people who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. It seems less than civilized to refuse benefits to same sex partners in this time of national mourning. Every single person who lost a loved one deserves the same treatment, regardless of their race, nationality, religion, gender, or sexual preference. Extending benefits to illegal aliens and unborn fetuses and refusing the same benefits to gays and lesbians is atrocious. The rights of Illegial aliens and fetuses are not protected under the laws of this nation or in states any more than the rights of homosexuals; therefore, granting compensation to the former groups and denying them to the latter is blatantly unfair. Please make sure that all people are treated the same way in the wake of this disaster. The attacks themselves were devastating enough, the gays and lesbians who will be hurt by your policy do not need any further reason for grief. Sincerely, Individual Comment Providence, RI September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-21 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
