please reconsider

Dear Mr. Zwick, I am writing to express my dismay and anger at your decision
to leave gay and lesbian partners of victims of the 9/11 attacks out of the
compensation program. The terrorists certainly didn't distinguish between
Americans when launching the attack, and by failing to recognize the sanctity
of gay and lesbian relationships you re-victimize people who have certainly
suffered enough. I urge you to reconsider this decision, and offer full and
equal compensation to gay and lesbian partners.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
