Friday, December 07, 2001 5:58 AM concerning regulations governing the "September 11th Fund" Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs, Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Dear Mr. Zwick: I appreciate very much the chance to share my comments concerning regulations governing the "September 11th Fund", as recently requested by the Justice Department. I strongly urge the Department to draft regulations that ensure compensation is available to all victims of the attack, including the committed partners and the non-biological children of gay and lesbian victims. In this time of grief for our nation, I feel that it is necessary for our government to lead the way in supporting unity and tolerance. Gay and lesbian families, which consist of committed partners, sometimes raising children, function just as all American families do: they depend on one another for emotional and financial support. The terrorist attacks have destroyed the family support systems of everyone involved, and all victims are in need of help. By supporting all of the families devastated by these attacks, the "September 11th Fund" will not only show boundless compassion, but will quicken the healing of our citizens and children, and our nation. I urge the Department to honor all families damaged by the attacks on September 11, 2001, showing no discrimiation against gay and lesbian victims, just as they would not discriminate against people of color or families with different religious backgrounds. Sincerely, Individual Comment Mount Dora, FL September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-12-07 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
