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. Wednesday, March 13, 2002 11:15 AM September 11th Fund To Whom it May Concern: I would like to start this letter by saying that I voted for you and all-in-all I think you are doing a wonderful job. I do, however, have one very serious problem with something that is happening in our country. I just became aware of the fact that gay and lesbian partners are not eligible to receive benefits from the September 11th Fund. This greatly upsets me. I am not a gay American, but I do not see the problem with being one. We live in a country that represents freedom in the highest level, a country that is supposed to accept all with open arms. I believe that by not including out gay population in the September 11th Fund you are indeed saying that we are not all created equal, does that not go against all that we stand for? I personally donated a large amount of monetary funds to the September 11th Fund and I am appalled to learn that my money is being with held from certain individuals because of their sexual orientation. I am not sure what one small email will accomplish, but I can not remain silent on this issue. I have never written to any government official before and I am very sorry that it is taking such an issue to make me write. I do hope, that other people will write and hopeful you will see how wrong and discriminatory this decision is.
