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 5:23 PM Benefits of 9/11 survivors As a contributor to the 9/11 survivors fund, it disturbs me greatly to learn that Kenneth Feinberg, Head of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund has determined that "gay partners of the heroes of September 11th will not necessarily be eligible for the same compensation as heterosexual family members who lost their loved ones." I made my contribution with no strings attached and firmly believe that distribution of those funds should also be made without strings attached. To refuse to provide help to anyone because of sexual orientation is blatant discrimination. These people need help just as much as anyone else and I emphatically request that the response to requests for help be based on the civil rights of the persons involved and not on the sexual orientation of those persons. We all are human beings and should be treated equally. Jesus taught that we should love one another, forgive one another and NOT JUDGE one another. God has reserved the right to judge and He will do that at the proper time.
