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, December 03, 2001 8:36 AM administration of funds for compensation of families of tragedy I hope that the funds will be equally distributed among ALL the families of the victims of Sept. 11th. Discrimination would be another tragedy. Gay life partners and unmarried heterosexual partners have had the same emotional and financial devastation as the "traditional families". As a stay at home lesbian mom I know the loss of my partner in such a sudden and sensless way would be emotionally devastating, but the loss of income and benifits would make it more than I could cope with. It would compound the tremendous impact on the children. They would then have to deal with the added burden of no income, and immediate life style changes as I would have had to get a job and leave them a soon as possible, on top of the loss of a parent . Regardless of someones religious or moral beliefs, this country is based of equality for all. That is what separation of church and state is all about. Please remember these unfortunate victims when deciding on the rules for the fund. A victim is a victim. And there has been more than enough sensless tragedy in this country.
