Sunday, March 17, 2002 2:24 PM 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund Coments To whom it may concern, I am writing to add my voice to the thousands of American, Tax Paying Citizens who are outraged at your decision to EXCLUDE gays & lesbians from the benefits of the Victim's Compensation Fund. There have been few times in my nearly half century of life that I have been more angry or more ashamed to call myself an American than I am at this moment. If the events of 9/11 have taught us anything it is that we are ALL "victims" of this horiffic attack on our country and it infuriates me to know that my tax dollars will go to "reward" people who were in this country ILLEGALLY on 9/11 but will not go to help the domestic partners of those Gay and Lesbian heroes of this horrible event. Maybe it's about time that those of you in government actually start LISTENING to what the people who put you there and pay your salaries have to say about issues such as this! As for "state law" I say "to hell with any law that excludes anyone from receiving benefits from this fund that my tax dollars help to provide! A victim is a victim, PERIOD! Angrily Yours, Another Infuriated American Citizen Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-17 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
