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. Monday, March 18, 2002 10:18 AM (no subject) I am sending this email because I have heard that partners of gays and lesbians who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 will not be compensated as will the families of the heterosexual victims of 9/11. I firmly believe that many who contributed to this fund did so with the belief that there would not be such discrimination in the distribution of compensation. It is appalling that conservative political views will undo the unprecedented unity which the US has experienced since the terrorist attacks. I believed that the deliberately divisive (and, quite frankly, demented) comments made by and were dismissed by all intelligent, understanding, and rational human beings. It is extremely disheartening to learn that others share their prejudices, and will use their power to block those deserving families of the gays and lesbians who lost their lives from receiving adequate and appropriate compensation. I hope this decision will be reconsidered, and reversed. sincerely, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-18 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
