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. Saturday, March 16, 2002 7:47 PM VICTIM COMPANSATION I AM APPALLED TO FIND THAT THE U.S. GOV. IS NOT GOING TO EQUALLY COMPENDATE THE VICTIMS OF 9/11. TO NOT GIVE PARTNERS OF GAY AND LESBIAN VICTIMS OF 9/11 COPENSATION SIMPLY EQUATES THE U.S. WITH THE TALIBAN. GAY AND LESBIAN CITIZENS OF THE U.S. ARE NOT TO BE TREATED AS A CLASS ASSIDE! AND IF YOU DO TREAT THEM AS SUCH WHEN ILLEGAL ALIENS GET SUCH COMPENSATION, YOU ARE BEHAVING IN THE SAME MAOR AS THE TALIBAN TOWARDS WOMEN IN THIER COUNTRY. HOW SHAMEFUL! AMERICAN CITIZENS SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY WITH NO DIFFERENTION AS TO COLOR, RELIGION, RACE, OR SEXUAL PREFFERENCE. I CANNOT EVEN COMPREHEND SUCH UNFAIRNESS AND PREJUDICE. THIS IS THE SAME UNFARINESS AND PREJUDICE ( WHICH EQUATES TO PURE IGNORANCE) THAT THE TALIBAN AND ITS ILK EXHIBIT. IF ANYTHING THE EVENTS OF 9/11 SHOULD BE BRINGING ALL PEOPLE OF THE U.S. CLOSER AND EXEMPLIFYING THE PRINCIPLE OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. PREJUDICE AGAINST GAY AND LESBIAN AMERICANS, YES AMERICANS, IS NOT A POLITICAL OR GOVERNMENTAL PRINCIPLE BUT A RELIGIOUS ONE AND HAS NO PLACE IN THE U.S.. ONE OF THE HEROES OF THE PLANE THAT WENT DOWN IN PENN. WAS A GAY AMERICAN! THE GAY PRIEST THAT DIED AT THE WTC, &nbsp , WAS A GAY AMERICAN. AND MANY OTHERS NOT RECOGNIZED ALSO FOUGHT AND DIED THAT DAY WERE ALSO GAY AMERICANS. PLEASE DO NOT SULLY THE AMERICAN PRIDE WE SHOULD ALL FEEL WITH THE RESPONSE BY AMERICANS , AND GAY AMERICANS, THAT OFFERED THEIR HELP TO THE VICTIMS OF 9/11. TO EVEN THINK OF SUCH PREJUDICE/IGNORANCE IS A SMIRCH ON THE PRIDE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FEEL. JUST REMEMBER ONE THING, IF GAY AND LESBIAN VICTIMS AND THIER PARTNERS ARE NOT TREATED EQUALLY BIN LADEN AND HIS HENCHMEN AND THE TALIBAN HAVE MADE A DICISIVE VICTORY IN DESTROYING AMERICAN PRINCIPLE. DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!! YOU CANNOT SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM THEM ( BIN LADEN AND THE TALIBAN) IF YOU DOLE OUT THE VICTIM COMPENSATION UNEQUALLY !!!! SINCERELY, Individual Comment VALLEY GLEN, CA.
