911 compensation fund


It has come to my attention that partners of gay and lesbians victims of
the 911 attack on the United States will most likely be unable to recieve
compensation for the tragic loses of their loved ones. However, other
groups of relatives - including those considered ILLEGAL ALIENS - WILL be
allowed to recieve benefits, with the government turning it's eye away
from the laws regarding legal citizens of the US.



I find this policy absolutely unacceptable, and demeaning to the memories
of those gay and lesbian vicitms - some who which were absolute heroes in
bringing down the airliner thought to be heading for Washington D.C.



I ask your administration to reconsider this policy decision, and allow
those partners of gay and lesbians who were killed on September 11th to
also recieve equal financial compensation recieved by ALL other familes of
vicitims of this tragedy.




Thank you very much.
