Thursday, November 29, 2001 3:18 PM Please include consideration of my concerns! Dear Members of the DOJ & Director Kenneth L. Zwick, I urge you in the strongest language of which I am capable to include among those who may receive compensation from the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund those who lost their life partners or de facto parents or children, regardless of sexual orientation or marital status. In other words, please include lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered Americans among those who deserve recognition for their losses. All of us as human beings are affected by death & loss; do NOT set aside the love & family units created by human beings whose sexual orientations might be other than heterosexual. Please recognize their families as deeply affected by these tragedies, please recognize their financial situations as being of EQUAL merit to ANY OTHER citizen of this nation who lost a loved one or was injured in the heinous attacks of September 11, 2001. This is an historic time, after events that were never imagined before September 11th. I urge you as strongly as I can to act with compassion & common sense. Please include language that includes ALL AMERICANS & their families as worthy or compensation by the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund who can document domestic & financial interdependence. Thank you. Emphatically yours, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-11-29 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
