Attachment 1:

September 11

My brother was killed on September 11th. He was one of the unlucky employees
of Cantor.

I am writing because I'm horrified by the was Congress has handled this
situation so far. I can only image if a member of Congress lost a family
member how different the outcome would be. You have no idea the pain and
suffering that is torturing my family. How can the government say that there
is one person who represents the family? My parent lost their only son, and
my sisters and I have lost our only brother. My sister-in-law is left to
raise her three children by herself. 9, 7 and 3 year old.

What is this about "double dipping?" The government is afraid families are
going to get "rich" from this tragic event. I invite anyone in congress to
go live with my sister-in-law and her three children for one week, and live
with their heart ache, live with their despair. There is not enough money in
the world to help heal my family. But, since there is no other way the
families can seek justice, except by filing lawsuits, that is what we, as
Americans, should have the right to do.

I thought the government was here to protect us. Instead you hire airport
employees who have criminal records to "protect us." Where was the Homeland
Security during all of this?

On top of all of our pain in suffering, this should be the last thing my
family along with (5000 other families) should have to dealing with. I hope
in the end the government does what is right.

Thank you,
