Sunday, March 31, 2002 2:09 PM VCF: Including Domestic Partner Benefits Dear Mr. Feinberg, I have just reviewed your Victim Compensation Fund plan and I am disgusted that you would exclude domestic partners to your compensation plan. Domestic partners have the same level of commitment to and love for their partners as heterosexual couples do and to deny them compensation for their painful loss is to deny this reality. I appreciate that you are trying to follow state and federal guidelines regarding same-sex relationships, however these laws are antiquated and do not truthfully reflect the diverse families of Americans. Please reconsider excluding domestic partnership funding for families that can prove their commitment to each other (ie: joint accounts, shared mortgage, auto loans, etc). All American families have been hugely affected by the September 11th attacks - don't exclude some families because they don't look like straight middle/upper class, white families... Show compassion for ALL American families. Thank you for your consideration. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this further. Sincerely, Individual Comment Denver CO September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-31 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
