Saturday, January 19, 2002 11:55 PM Victims Compensation Fund - Domestic Partners/Fiancees Dear Mr. Zwick, I am writing to you to express my concern for fiancées and domestic partners of the victims of the tragic event of September 11th. Why wouldn't we be considered for the fund since all charities like the New York State World Trade Center Relief Fund is honoring and respecting fiancées and domestic partners? These are the people that lost financial support as well as their lifetime partners. My domestic partner and I have been with each other for 15 years. We lived together for the past 9 years. We were committed to each other as husband and wife. And had a more committed relationship than most married couples. We were together every day, ate, slept and went to work together. He was my lifetime partner and we had planned to grow old together. We believed that a piece of paper didn't mean anything. Why wouldn't you follow the guidelines of international human rights organization, such as Amnesty International? Why are we being punished for living the life we chose? This fund should compensate the people that lost financial support as well as their lifetime partner as other funds are doing. I hope that you will seriously consider my concern for all that are in my situation because I know I am one of many. I hope that you will be able to come up with fair and reasonable eligibility requirements for domestic partners and fiancées. I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter.
