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 9:19 AM Compensation for 9-11 victims I am horrified, outraged, and ashamed to learn that the U.S. government is planning to withhold compensation for the domestic partners of homosexual victims of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Did the gay and lesbian victims of 9-11 suffer any less than heterosexual victims in the final minutes of their lives? Do their surviving partners experience any less grief, or economic loss, than the family members of heterosexual victims? Is the U.S. Dept. of Justice so completely callow and so rigid in its heterosexist morality that it will refuse to treat all the victims of this tragedy equally? As an American citizen, and a person of conscience, I demand that the DOJ treat all surviving spouses and domestic partners equally in its compensation plan. To do otherwise is to make a mockery of justice.
