Unequal Benefits


Gentlemen & Ladies,

I have just read an email that informs me that the head of the 9/11 Fund,
Kenneth Feinberg, is planning to limit what kind of compensation goes to gay and lesbian victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Can this be true?
What has sexual orientation got to do with the fact that they are VICTIMS
of terrorist attacks?
Then I read "...even illegal aliens, who aren't American citizens and who
are in the US in violation of federal law, will receive benefits."
So, you bend the rules for one group but try to restrict another?
I gave money to that fund expecting ALL victims and their families to be
treated fairly and equally.
What ever happened to "..Liberty and Justice for ALL"
