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. Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 Kenneth Feinburg's comments on Meet the Press, Sunday March 10 The horrendous, tragic events of Sept. 11 joined your country in grief, and as a Canadian, it joined mine as well, as we shared the pain of your tremendous loss, and your anger at the unfairness and injustice of it all. Yet, after learning of Kenneth Feinburg's comments regarding the exclusion of gays and lesbians from the victims compensation fund, it appears you are willing to perpetrate the same injustice and unfairness on your own people. What a shame you did not use this occasion to include all members of society, as you have done by declaring illegal aliens eligible without being penalized for breaking the law. Instead you elected to reinforce the impression of people outside your country that your government is far to the right, and cares only about the rich, the gun possessors, and white, heterosexual men. Sept. 11 united your country and made your citizens proud to be Americans. After hearing of Mr. Feinburg's comments regarding gays and lesbians, and his inference that their sexuality makes them both disposable and expendable, I have never been prouder to be Canadian.
