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, April 03, 2002 7:51 AM 9/11 fund I've recently read an article through the internet that said that the Sept. 11th fund would not support partners of homosexuals who lost their lives on this tragic day, although the families of illegal aliens would be supported. I think it's terrible that we live in a country with so many rights and freedoms, but condemn people simply because of their sexual preference. I think it's time we recognize homosexuals as equals in our society and give them rights as couples and stop treating them as freaks of nature. I am not homosexual but i do have friends who are and they are very decent and upstanding citizens of this country. It's very sad when I hear that someone who risked and then gave his life to save the lives of others ( ) cannot be rewarded through his life-mate just because of his sexual preference. I hope this country soon wakes up and listens to people and stops trying to put everyone into a certain mold. There will always be problems with people, but it's not fair to say that a certain group of people should not be compensated due to their lifestyle. I hope you will try to look at this issue from the point of view of the homosexuals. I think we all need to talk openly with each other and listen to each other and stop judging each other. Thank you for allowing me to share my views on this. I wish there was more that I could do and perhaps someday there will be! God bless you for all your efforts.
