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, March 14, 2002 4:24 PM 9/11 Fund to Discriminate Against Gays Reading the article "9/11 Fund to Discriminate Against Gays" by at About.com, (http://uspolitics.about.com/library/weekly/aa031102a.htm), left me shocked, upset and angry that an opportunity to respond with a gesture of goodwill and charity to all the unfortunate victims of the 9/11 tragedy and their survivors was consciously lost by the administrators of the 9/11 fund. By denying domestic partners of gay and lesbian victims of the 9/11 tragedy an equivalent distribution of the charitable funds given for all victims, the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund and the Department of Justice sullies and denies their profoundly meaningful acts of courage, bravery and altruism. I'll be certain that all my friends and acquaintances, regardless of sexual orientation, know about this most recent act of cowardice and do all that is possible to inform their Congressional representatives to bring what collective voting and funding power we have to bear upon changing this misguided and ultimately immoral policy decision.
