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. Sunday, March 17, 2002 5:11 PM 9/11 Fund Dispersement Discrimination I have received information detailing the policies of the Victim's Compensation Fund that are discriminating against the families of gay victims. I contributed to this fund and I am gay. I find this policy completely offensive, more so since the Fund is so willing to overlook existing laws regarding illegal aliens, who are not U.S. citizens! Can you overlook the significant role that gay citizens played while acknowledging the value of other human lives that fateful day? What does this say about the administration of a Victim's Fund that victimizes and discriminates against a particular group of citizens? Shame, shame, shame. You have failed your mission, and you have failed the citizens who have sacrificed their lives and deserve your gratitude. I expect this offensive stand to be corrected. I will be watching, as well as many other people who have received my e-mail and who have also contributed to your fund. I will not foget this, in my future donations and in the voting booth. We are ALL citizens here.
