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. Thursday, December 13, 2001 6:32 AM Fair Treatment for all Victim Families Sir, The attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11th was an attack on the United States. The attackers didn't disciminate in choosing their victims. The victim compensation for those affected by the attacks should also be non-discriminatory. It is with great distress that I've learned that the families of gay and lesbian citizens are being threatened with exclusion from compensation by certain politicians and their constituencies. Speaking as a veteran and businessperson I find the exclusion of any victim or their families and loved ones, whether for sexual orientation or any other reason, to be nearly as reprehensible as the attacks themselves. The threat of exclusion finds its source in the same festering hatred that bred the fundamentalist extremism underlying the attack. When considering this issue I hope that the Justice Department will commend to itself the final four words of the Pledge of Allegiance taken by all Americans, "and justice for all".
