Mr Kenneth Feinberg - Shame On You!


To Whom It May Concern:

In an appearance on the Sunday, March 10 broadcast of NBC's "Meet the Press,"
Kenneth Feinberg, the head of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (a
fund created by Congress and run by the Department of Justice), said 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 am appalled by this statement and feel that no matter what the individual
state's position on the subject is, everyone, and that means gay people,
should be eligible to recieve compensation for their loss. If laws can be
disregared for illegal aliens, isn't it hypocritcal to then use laws as a
reason to deny compensation to others?

Is their loss any less? Besides it's just the right thing to do!!

Mr Kenneth Feinberg - Shame On You!

I hereby request that my contribution of $50.00 be returned to me
immediately. Please contact me with details on how to accomplish that
refund.
