NO VICTIM COMPENSATION

I my family and friends were all deeply distressed at the loss of our fellow Americans due to the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01. We gave what we could to the relief fund, we prayed for the dead and the living, and continue to feel grief at the thought of the parentless children, and the widowed wives created on this infamous day.

I CAN NOT CONDONE THE GOVERNMENTS VICTIM'S RELIEF FUND.

I feel that it is unjust to all the other AMERICAN
victims of terrorism, war, natural disasters, crime or just bad luck.

The Federal, State, and Local Governments have aid, educational, and relief funds that the unfortunate can take advantage of, how can this be OK for the rest of AMERICANS and not for the victims of 9/11.

I suppose that this may be the quick way out for the Government. The victims that participate won't have the ability to litigate. The money will buy their quiet acceptance that the CIA, FBI, USA and the AIRLINES let them down on 9/11.

The fact is that we the American people let ourselves down that terrible day by our complacency over decades of terrorism, ethnic cleansing, human rights violations, etc. that occurred around the world under our watch.

No, I don't agree with the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund of 2001, I'll never forget the losses of that day, and I'll always expect vigilance by our government to help protect us in this violent World.
